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).

Joe Frank Honored at Third Coast Festival AwardsJoe Frank is currently being honored by the Third Coast International Audio Festival with a Lifetime Achievement Award. The radio performance artist (an inadequate description, but in the interest of keeping this post short and to the point, I'll serve him the great injustice of referring to him as such) has produced audio artwork over the course of three decades, most of which was composed of the marvelously original narratives heard weekly on KCRW radio between 1986 and 2002. Mr. Frank's compositions are now available by purchase at the official Joe Frank website, JoeFrank.com. You can also read a transcript of his acceptance speech there, or listen to the speech at the Third Coast Festival site.
If you are unfamiliar with Joe Frank's unique blend of narrative, music, and radio theater (another hopelessly inadequate description of his art), do yourself a favor and head over to JoeFrank.com to listen to a sample of his work. Joe has generously made most of his recordings freely available via streaming, so fire up your Real Media Player and tune in to one of my favorite pieces, "An Enterprising Man", an hysterical autobiographical narrative of an ambitious--albeit demented--gentleman. Or be adventurous and select a random stream--that's what I usually do in the wee hours of insomniacal nights. However it's done, once you've heard Joe's shows something inside you will be forever altered and inspired. You may not completely understand his art at first, but something will compel you to keep going back to hear more--and more, and more, and more. Whether that's good or bad, I don't know--but it sure is fun to listen.
