Radio!

I am loving #ds106 radio, so much so that I have been spending some serious time this week (I'm on a week's vacation, after all) looking at things like Shoutcast, , Icecast and WinAmp and all the rest of it. Some of my earlier reflections are here. I'd love to have my own internet radio station; I've been envious of the people at Ed Tech Talk for years now. The other big lesson from Brian Lamb's post is: don't ask permission. The approvals process for anything like #ds106 would be a nightmare. Not because it's doing anything wrong or illegal or anything like that, but because it's so out there, so beyond the scope of anything academic institutions do today. It's all about centralized approval, official content and managing the message. That totally the opposite of what we should be working toward. See also Grant Potter's description of how Radio #ds106 was created, and Alan Levine's commentary.
