DJTT Internet Radio: Should it be a thing?

[photojojo]

The problem with internet radio is people are so used to having mixes to listen to whenever they want it's hard to force them to sit at their computer at a certain time every week. Then it's hard to keep them focused on the show with so many other distractions vying for their attention.

Awesome idea! I would definitely be down to contribute!

I'm in and I won't be mixing, I'm
Far more interesting than that

Most likely 1000 contributors versus 1 listener ratio. Podcasts are more practical.

Count me in. I'll even wear pants.

a weekly two hour podcast?

2 different styles each hour?

some DJTT plugs at the begining, transition and end...

Jojo and Rename have it spot on (fwiw I play on the same station as jojo)

These things cost money, both in terms of bandwidth and licensing fees to whoever collects these things (PRS in the UK)

Someone has to stump up.

Live mixes with old mixes on a loop when no-one is playing works for Purple Radio

Weekly is way too high frequency for all, many people cannot commit more than a couple of hours a month

Podcast licensing is different to live licensing, someone needs to be on top of this

80% of the people who are dead keen now will drop out within the first 6 months.

Just, imho and all

It seems that most content owners in EDM has just given up on the illegal use of tracks in podcasts, so it's similar to all the myriads of mixes posted online on mixcrate/mixcloud/soundcloud and so on. If you at least give credits to the tracks so there's something good coming out from using the material for distribution, that's more nice than not even including playlists out of laziness.
