p2 ok
so who wants to do this?

i'll set this up online
if and only if
there's a decent amount of participation

meaning
not only do you provide the music mp3s
but
you also provide a recording of yourself
introducing the songs and artists
and perhaps
talk about what the song means to you
or why you chose/like that song

of course
recordings without music would be great too
i.e., someone putting on skits
or talking about their views
or reading a passage from a book
or reading their own writing
or reviewing the latest
book/tv show/movie/dvd rental/life experience

we could create 30-60 minute shows
per blatherskite

oren This sounds like a good thing. I_hope it happens.

Would shorter "shows" be acceptable? I_can see myself producing something in_the 3 to 5 minute range.

p2 now by a vote
how do you want to listen to blather radio?

1) shoutcast
this is real-time broadcasting which would loop 24/7
you can use winamp to listen from anywhere you have an internet connection
2) podcast
this uses rss to download episodes in the background
some podcatchers automatically put the episode onto your mp3 player so you can listen to it offline later
3) email list
i will email the links to subscribers for them to download at their leisure
the reason i don't just create a publicly available link for people to download is in case some music is copyrighted

i may end up implementing all 3
but the vote will help me prioritize the work

u24 anyone got any suggestions for free, half decent windows audio mixing software?
just something that'll allow me to load a (series of) mp3(s), fade in/out and mix with another set of audio (eg to have some muzak playing at a lower volume while i speak over it).
