Broadcast your Podcast by Lotte Meijer -

What and why?

With the developments in streaming online audio, podcasting, microtransmitters, multi-user VoIP chatrooms, (etcetera) our idea of what radio is has thoroughly expanded.
Participants of this workshop design radio experiences for (interactive?) listeners. Workshop projects consist of homegrown content ideas for a specific combination of various older and newer 'radio' practices. A couple of projects will be chosen to be brodcast live on Thursday, Feb 15, by Radio Rietveld, which broadcasts and webcasts from Mediamatics' garagebox for the next three months.
Participants can also learn to solder their own radio microtransmitter!
