Welcome to 'Transmitting to Earth'. I'm Charssun and I'll be your host. This blog and podcast is a byproduct of VoyagerRadio.com and is intended to provide the most timely information about this Internet radio station. It is also intended to be a fun and accessible electronic journal with commentary focusing on Internet radio, podcasting and webcasting issues and technologies, music, and some of my other interests. I also offer personal perspective about being an Internet radio broadcaster (and podcaster).

The question I'm asking myself now is "Why?" Why do I do this webcasting thing? Nobody's listening. I mean, nobody's listening right now, when I'm live. That's when I most like to have listeners. It's currently 8:34 p.m. Pacific Time. That's 11:34 p.m. for you Eastcoasters. And as I like to say, in order to accomodate the world, it's 03:34 Universal Time. That way all of you can tune in, now that you know what time it is. I'm here webcasting live, as I do every week at the same time. Okay, so it's only my second weekly webcast, so maybe it's not fair to be expecting listeners already. So here it is: I'll be here (at VoyagerRadio.com) every Thursday night at 7 p.m. Pacific Time, 10 p.m. Eastern (02 Universal), webcasting live to the world. I'm not exactly certain what I'll be webcasting, and maybe that's the problem--we like consistency, perhaps--but I will always, always make it interesting.
The other problem may be that I'm webcasting in Broadband this week. My usual webcast is a Dialup webcast. Folks tuning in using a modem aren't able to listen to this live weekly show. The reason I'm doing it is because I want this music to be heard at the best possible quality. Plus, I've been considering switching over to a permanent, 24-hour Broadband webcast. I've been webcasting at a Dialup bitrate since the beginning of the year, and although I have listeners from time to time, most Internet Radio listeners are Broadband Internet users. That's too bad--I think Dialup Internet users would be surprised by what they can hear using their painfully slow connections. They may not be able to surf the net very well at the same time as they are listening to Internet Radio, but then again, if they're just reading blogs while they're listening to my Internet Radio station, they may be able to hear my broadcast at the same time. Blogs don't take much bandwidth. That's why I've build my website without all the bells and whistles that usually slow down Dialup Internet users. Even if you can't surf the net well while listening to Internet Radio, you can always just listen. You know--tune in, kick back, and let your ears do the sensin'.
