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).

Podcasting is Neither Radio Nor Blogging, It's PodcastingPodcasting, in its purest sense, is neither radio nor is it blogging. Podcasting is podcasting. Nothing like this has presented itself in this particular way before. It's a two-way media in a variety of ways, interactive to some extent and surely more so in the near future as tools develop to facilitate the process of producing podcasts. We tend to compare it to what we know, such as radio and blogging. Yet it's really both of these and then neither. It's what it is, and we're still figuring that out. Some will try to take it to traditional media formats, such as radio, and that's fine. Meanwhile podcasting will change, and mutate and branch out in various ways, and perhaps some of these branches won't make sense for broadcast or satellite radio. It's fun to hear ourselves on terrestrial (traditional) radio, especially if we grew up in an analog era, and I wouldn't mind my mousy voice being transmitted via radiowaves. Yet I'm more excited about the possibilities that are yet to come; I can't wait for the iPod of Internet radio to arrive, whenever that may be - a portable device that can recieve podcasts or other digital audio from anywhere, and without hassle. Who will create this device? Will Apple's lightning strike again, or will it be a smaller, Palm-like company? Will it be a group of podcasting engineers, pooling their resources together to "change the world"? Stay tuned.
