Podcast: Radioactive International

Crap on the radio 18

A rerun show tonight  as I’ve been spending too much time on the next generation radio, this is a Raspberry Pi, a $35 cassette sized computer that can broadcast on bands from shortwave up to vhf(fm), it can act as a wifi hotspot and run it own web server and shoutcast server. The size and low cost is what makes this device so interesting, it can be placed anywhere and uses little power, with a 32 Gb memory it can serve months of radio programs via on demand from a built in  web server or via live stream, and it doesn’t even need the internet, it works totally stand alone so it can fill in blackspots where there is no connectivity and become the only connection. Keeping it updated is as simple as driving by and uploading the latest programs.
