Podcasting Podcasting and More Podcasting

This is really hot stuff. I've come to the conclusion that podcasting really is internet pirate radio with timeshifting.

These guys over at ClickCaster are doing some interesting things. I found their secret development site (wasn't that hard... alltheweb.com had it at the top when you search on clickcaster) and it seems to be working. It's at:

http://monkey.realpublicmedia.com

What's cool is they have a simple Java applett that lets you create a podcast with a button click. You do have to have Java 1.5 or later installed (just to to this link: http://www.java.com/en/download/windows_automatic.jsp and it'll do an autodownload for you).

You log into their server and click on create an account (yea.. it works) and you go to my studio and click on their 'create a clickcast' button. Up comes the recorder. Very slick. Click record... talk talk talk, rant, talk... Click stop. Play it back, click 'upload' and it throws it up on your account. You go to my clickcasts and write up your show notes and pick the file to attach and it does the rest (wraps it in RSS, puts the XML button at the top of your page.. blah blah).

Anyway.. these guys are getting close to making it really easy.

I'm dying to see what Podshow.com looks like and Odeo.com. They claim similar stuff (but I can't find their secret development servers damnit).

Here's my email for those interested. picture format to keep those damn web crawlers from sticking me on their spam lists. 

www.rprn.org... home of KBFR's recorded studio free shows and many recorded DJ shows. 

Free Media and Bottom Up Media

Lot's going on in this area.

The Real Public Radio Network guys are up and running at www.rprn.org.

The Open Media Network is in beta (http://www.omn.org/)

And the podcasting world is taking over. Podcasting is as close to pirate radio on the internet as anything I've seen or heard of. A local company called clickcaster (www.clickcaster.com) is developing software for this. Adam Curry's making it real with www.podshow.com and a company called Odeo (www.odeo.com) is making something as off in Silicon Valley.

There's even a station (AM) in San Fransisco that's going to do all podcasts submitted by listeners. Now THAT'S Pirate radio, with a license. They're calling them selves 'KYOURradio - Open Source Radio at: www.kyourradio.com

The world is a changing folks. A transmitter isn't even required anymore to have a voice.

Of course, it would be nice, but, no longer required.

Been a long couple of months.

Everything is gone. We're OK. Heard some rumors about FCC harrassment of old roommates. Not sure though, can't get hold of anyone to verify. No one in the BURG group has had any contact from the feds since the Jan. bust. Everythings shut down, sold, dispersed, gone, dead, ashes to ashes dust to dust.

Man, how depressing. Everything's gone dark. But it was time.
