"Podcast Radio"

[JRH]

Hi guys. I hope you don't think I'm taking a liberty here on my first post, but here goes.

I'm working on a project called "Podcast Radio" (working title) - basically, the scheme of things is that the radio 'station' will work just like a normal radio station, with shows being streamed 'live' (technically pre-recorded), and then being able to be downloaded after they've been aired (much like the BBC's Listen Again feature).

The advantage to the station will that it'll be able to have niche shows, created by people who're passionate about their content - be it rock music, pop music, a news show, an entertainment news, or even a classical music show.

All we need are podcasters who can submit a show to us on a regular basis (e.g. weekly), and who use copyright free music.

I'd love to have feedback and suggestions on the idea - so please tell me what you think! :)

Thank you.

It's a great idea.

We are working on the same thing for AMP (www.musicpodcasting.org) but it will be all podsafe music shows.

Daft post, sorry!

I wouldn't be surprised at all if the final destination for a podcast like ours is on a branded content aggregator or network. I could see a network like the one you are proposing ultimately wind up as part of one of the satellite networks... but who knows.

Here's a question for everyone;

Would you rather the project was setup using Peercast technology (e.g. you tune in just like any other internet station) -

or would you rather shows and the setup worked using .m3u playlisting technology - e.g. shows rolling, but being streamed from different servers?
