I’ve recorded the first podcast about the Internet radio project called OldSchoolFM. It’s 30 minutes long and I talk about the plans and explain why I’m doing this. I also let u listen to some sweepers and some podsafe music.
Let me know what you think.

I’ve been collecting a lot of info regarding the Internet radio project with regards to licensing, streaming, providers, software, etc.
I’ve also received a lot of tips and info from people that would like to help shape and create the ultimate radio station from scratch. That’s really great. We can really use all the help we can get.
There’s so much information still to be gathered and due to my visual handicap I can’t read it all myself, so I really need help.
The project now has OldSchoolFM as a work title.
I’ve registered oldschoolfm.net today, which should be forwarded to this site soon.

Let’s make it personal
This is just an idea. The tagline has to make it clear that this radio station uses computers but is not run by them. It’s all about real radio, like in the 80’s, created with real people, with live shows and flexibility. Not automated to death. Not everything will go as ‘planned’, but hey! We’re only human, right? Isn’t that the way it’s supposed to be?
From what I understand so far, after reading a lot of licensing info, I think the UK would be the best country to stream from. Somehow the UK has a much better approach to webcasting than the Netherlands.
Again, all thoughts, ideas and feedback are welcome. It’s needed actually.
Please read earlier blogposts as well. That saves me from a lot of copying and pasting. 
If you’d be able to help with this project, that would be great. Please let me know by leaving a comment.
I’ve been looking into the following topics so far:
- Country to stream from
- Streaming providers
- Licenses
- Software to use
- Costs and fees
- etc
I’ve found that there’s so much info to be read, that I can’t do it on my own. Due to my visual handicap I can only read so much, so I really need help.
If you’d be able to help me out, or know someone that could, please let me know.
Soon I’ll be posting some ideas about starting an Internet Radio station.
The most important goal is creating live and real radio, instead of the dead automated junk that’s out there at the moment.
because I’d like to know what you, as potential listeners, think and would like, I’ll also be tweeting and creating podcasts about it.
Let’s bring back the 80’s way of making radio. Live! Real! Using current technology as tools but NOT automating everything to death.
Internet Radio with great music, listener input and maybe some talk radio. Everything is possible, as long as it’s real.
It would be so great to be able to create a team of kindred spirits from all over the world to help shape the ultimate radio station.
I’d also need show ideas and production teams. If you have ideas or thoughts, please let me know.
We are the ones that’ll shape and create the future and the future is now, so let’s make it a great one, shall we?!!

I really love the Beyerdynamic DT 770.
For closed headphones they sound superb.
