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).

So I'm using this new service called Google Alert. It's supposed to automatically track anything you want Google to search for every day and email you the results. I was under the impression that these results would be entirely composed of Google news stories, so when I received the email displaying the item titled "Internet radio goes mobile", I got really excited and almost came in my pants. Then I looked at the date of the news item: June 26, 2001. After scanning the story, which describes Live365's ancient foray into developing a streaming app for mobile devices, I realized I'd already read this story--a few times over the past few years.
So this brings me back to one of my favorite concerns. When are we going to see Internet radio truly go mobile? And don't tell me it already has; I've tried that one and it doesn't work. Back in June, I alerted readers of my Internet radio newsletter that StreamGuys and RadioStorm were delivering wireless 'net radio, but that turned out to be a dud, for me. I'm talking about real, walking-about-with-your-headphones-in-full-stereo-sound mobile Internet radio, not some cellphone that's barely feeding you mono sound to one ear. And if I'm wrong--if the StreamGuys/RadioStorm solution works well--by all means, correct me. I couldn't get it to work, but maybe you did. In the meantime, I'm looking for that iPod of Internet radio. Maybe I'd have more luck developing that gizmo myself; I don't know the first thing about engineering, but at the rate this is going, the world may see a makeshift mobile Internet radio from a clown like me before Apple or Sony gets movin' on it. Watch out, world--here comes the H-Radio, to a headset near you, wherever you may be. Transmitting to Earth--even if you're out in the bush. How about you? Do you want a mobile Internet radio device in your hands and ears? (Press the "Comment" link below to answer.)
