internet radio and freedom
Posted by: | CommentsGreetings Everyone,
If ever there were a technology that supported the concept of “we the people” and freedom, it is internet radio, which is my attraction to it. As you know, my radio show – A New View of Life – is moving to VoiceAmerica Variety Channel internet radio on January 10, 2012 at 6 PM EST . With my announcement on Facebook, Twitter, my Facebook Fan Page and to other groups, I am being asked, “What is internet radio? How do I listen to internet radio?”
This is the beauty of the internet and the new devices – ipad and other tablet devices, smart phones as well as the ‘traditional’ pc’s, macs, and laptops. Internet radio is streamed live over the internet which is global. Is this technology not amazing? And for those of you who would like a peek into the future – streaming television is coming (actually it is here already).One really great aspect of internet radio is that it can and does combine the concept of ‘podcasting’ with live streaming which means the episodes or shows are recorded and archived (saved) and uploaded to itunes. Listeners are able to go to the archives of the show anytime and listen to past shows over and over again as well as have the ability to download the show to a phone, pc, or mp3 player and play the show whenever you choose (like jogging or in the car).
For advertisers this is an amazing boon. Revenues spent on sponsorship of an internet radio show are played to the consumer every time the show is heard from the first live stream and also on every subsequent playback unlike terrestrial radio where the advertisement is heard on the show and then gone forever.
The internet has leveled the playing field with the ability to disseminate information without having to go to the “few” stations. To listen, you simply boot up the computer or ipad or smart phone at the designated time slot for the show and listen live. It’s really cool. And of course since it is live, it is interactive. You can call in just like you would any terrestrial station and participate in the discussion.
My personal favorite of internet radio is the global reach. Currently Mark Zuckerberg, Facebook’s creator, is vacationing in communist Vietnam to soften the ground for Facebook being allowed there. Unlike broadcasting in a local area in a particular geographical zone, internet radio is available wherever there is an internet connection or cell tower with bandwith to access the internet on your smart phone. Information is disseminated freely and without censorship, interpretation or dilution which is truly empowering. This gives people everywhere the ability to listen and weigh up information for themselves and to learn, grow and expand unlike traditional media. We are truly becoming a global community.
VoiceAmerica has nearly 3 million unique listeners every month and is growing by leaps and bounds. They have been the pioneers in this new field for 10 years holding a vision for the rest of us of information rich programming across all disciplines and fields of interest available to everyone who can access the internet. See why I love the local library and the public pc’s?
Freedom of information is the most powerful gift of all the current technology. Wise people will take advantage of it, appreciate it and promote it for the Good of All of Us. It’s the best thing that’s happened since fire, the wheel and blogging.
Thanks for reading,
Kath
