In a previous entry<\/a>, I mentioned Your Mac Life<\/a>, an internet-only live radio talk show. At the time, I was contemplating the marketability of such an effort. Recently, I came across some others who have taken the concept and added a twist–one I really like.<\/p>\n

Steven, at Acts of Volition<\/a>, has produced and DJ’ed several 45 minute radio sessions available for download in mp3 format. For each one, he’s taken a different theme and picked several songs that fit it. I think it’s great–the shows are entertaining–much more entertaining and informative than having someone just recommend a few songs.<\/p>\n

It looks like a couple other sites have done the same thing. Mathcaddy<\/a> just came out with a show and there’s a new site, LugRadio<\/a> where four guys produce a downloadable talk show on open source software. <\/p>\n

This type of entertainment–informative and fun at the same time–is almost destined to success. It’s something that’s not too hard to produce but could potentially generate a wide following. The only obstacles will be 1. bandwidth (at least for a lot of people), and 2. the RIAA or their equivalent in whatever country you might be. Personally, I feel that if it came down to the artists themselves, most<\/i> would be in favor of this, but unfortunately in the backwards world that is corporate music, that is not the case.<\/p>\n

Kudos to those of you producing radio in this format (Incidentally, what?s it called? iRadio?), keep up the good work and if you need bandwidth… well, maybe I<\/a> can help.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
