Radio Memories
The  liberating practice of recording content in MP3 and publishing it on the Web gets another boost. (Take that, Clear Channel!) What better way to celebrate an early mass communications medium than by disseminating it via podcast? For starters, try "Radio Adventures," featuring an eyewitness broadcast of the D-Day invasion (complete with original technical difficulties). Or how about a 1943 Jack Benny program featuring Louis Armstrong? Next, listen in on "The Immortal Sherlock Holmes," from Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre on the Air. Non-professionals produce and host most of these programs, so you don't get seamless pieces of commerce, but labors of love. You can download the programs to your MP3 player or listen on your computer. (Fast forward past the commentary if you want.) Or just skip the whole thing and tune in to Mariah Carey on your car radio for the 100th time. (in Podcasts and Audioblogging) |
