To whomever it may concern,

I am very impressed with your website and have a video that I think may be of some interest to you. My friend is a member of NPR’s Los Angeles affiliate KPCC and was recently selected as a finalist in the Challenge.Create.Change contest for a video he created espousing the benefits of public radio membership. The contest, sponsored by Target and ConverseOneStar encourages people to challenge, create, or change something about their world. I thought this might be interesting to share with other affiliates as a means of encouraging people to contribute. You can watch the video at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DviTjyyw8lo. Please encourage others to view it and if they like it, to vote for his entry “first charitable act” at http://www.youtube.com/converseonestar.

Thank you,

Valerie Garagiola

The Toy Lounge of St. Paul MN – http://thetoylounge.com – makes custom iPhone apps for radio stations, both traditional stations and online radio stations. Basic starter app for streaming radio (up to 5 streams on one app) and add optional iTunes tagging and ad serving. Like the Public Radio Tuner, these apps only play live streams and will disconnect if you need to check mail, etc.

Has anyone else stumbled across the new format/programming that they have on 1680 AM in Grand Rapids? I was flipping through my radio and planned on reminiscing to a little Radio Disney, which has apparently been replaced. Anyway, it is now billing itself as Public Reality Radio. I only got a chance to listen for a little bit, but they announced a URL as http://www.publicrealityradio.org. I checked out their site, and there is some interesting programming that they have. If anyone else has listened to this, I would love to hear some opinions, and if you haven’t heard it yet, I would give it a listen. I was particularly fond of “The Infidel Guy”.

Last week in SF, I listed to WQED and then found WBUR. Both dropped a few times and significantly drained my power but it was worth it. Nice to have a taste of home away from home (as long as its not Boston food in SF!)

Check out NPR Mobile, it list topics on all the main npr shows and you can listen to those missed segments after the audio is posted. Also Tuner shows the bit rate so those of us on 2G can listen to those stations that stream in lo-fi.

Public Radio Tuner is one of my favorite iPhone applications. I can now sleep late on the weekend and still listen to Weekend Edition, by listening to a west coast public radio station, or if I wake up really late, I can catch Weekend Edition on one of the Hawaiian public radio station.
Being a program director, I’ve found this to be a great source for monitoring other station’s pledge drives, to get ideas of what others are doing to generate calls.

Thanks, this is a very cool app that I hadn’t heard of. I’ve been using podcasts for NPR and This American Life, but sometimes (like election night) I want local content. Luckily I already knew what website to go to for streaming local coverage: KUOW (Seattle). On-demand sounds very exiting, too.

Hi Wade,

Thanks for the great write up on the project. Just a minor clarification, we’re not going to be releasing an Android version of the app in May, version 2.0 will have on-demand and program guide information but will still be for the iPhone platform. We’re building as much of the app as possible so that we could then port to Andriod with minimal effort.

Glad you are enjoying and using the app.

-thanks
