(free103point9 in collaboration with...)
free103point9 is pleased to host, Voices of America, a participatory Internet radio project that reflects on the media spectacle of the 2008 US Presidential Election through the lens of the Voice of America Radio Network, a US government broadcasting service intended for an international audience. The new site and custom application will launch in late August, 2008. Here's how it will work:
* RECORD up to one minute samples of election coverage on an over-the-air Voice of America station
* UPLOAD and TAG your recordings
* DOWNLOAD from the searchable pool of available recordings
* REMIX the broadcasts and UPLOAD them back to the website
* LISTEN to the recordings and remixes online anytime or to the radio broadcast at the Audacity of Desperation exhibition at the Sea and Space Gallery in Los Angeles on Election Day

(free103point9 Event, free103point9 Online Radio Event)
From Ralf Homann: "Instead of serious talks or clever conducted interviews, this upcoming episode of The Monoshow hosted by Ralf Homann will celebrate fabulous sounds of the early home computer software Basicode. In the '80s, before www, Basicode was used in some highly developed countries to broadcast software via specific FM radio shows (e.g. BBC, Dutch Public Radio, or East German Radio). Listeners could record the software by compact cassette or datasette and upload to their computer for early gaming or very serious applications like arranging addresses alphabetically. Vinyl-stored software was also available. Please chuck your datasette drive and start from scratch: The Monoshow will provide you some Basicode games and important surplus noise. With Bailout Bonus Track: Billions to Ashes. A live web stream from Wave Farm's wood-stove cabin.
