Website-ul Europa FM confunda podcastul cu banalul mp3

Imi facusem o notita, prin vara, sa trec prin sita website-urile radiourilor romanesti pe care le mai ascult pe internet. Citisem pe blog la Tesiu cum ca Europa FM are fatza noua pe net.

“Noa, fain” mi-am zis. Poate astia macar o dau pe podcast, pentru ca – din cauza celor 7 ore care ne separa – prefer inregistrari decit emisia live. Imi plac matinalele radio, dar la mine e miezul noptii.

If you think that RADIO is dead…

…well, think again.

Last night’s commuter chaos in downtown Toronto was a real test for quick and reliable mass communication.

How did the TELEVISION, INTERNET and RADIO fare during last night’s crisis?

Radio ZU: an exciting campaign gone sinister.

John Meadows, in on of his recent podcasts, evokes schooldays, when – this was in the early 70s – he and his buddies went to a costume party at school, dressed as a biker. There was a swastika on their leather jacket, but nobody really cared: neither the teachers at school, nor the kids or their parents. It was the 70s. John  is then asking his audience if that would go unnoticed in 2008.

As many of you already know, I was a radio person. I worked in a radio.

And my home country is Romania. Therefore I listen tons of radio over the web from Romania, and I closely follow the audio landscape there.

The most exciting news from that part of the world is the coming-of-life of a new FM station, headquartered in Bucharest, Romania’s capital.

It’s a hit radio, an addition to a tough competition. It will be called ZU FM, and its manager (don’t exactly know his job title) is a fellow radio-person that I follow for some time on his blog, Tony Tesiu.

So far so good.

O scrisoare de la Sergiu Cioiu

Nu se intimpla foarte des, dar unii dintre artistii pe care ii “cint” in podcastul meu fac gestul minunat de a-mi trimite un mesaj personal.

Imi creste inima, zau!

Adica eu – care pun muzica la podcast pentru doar citeva sute de ascultatori, acolo – sint bagat in seama de artisti pe care ii stie o lume intreaga.

Zilele trecute ma trezesc cu un mesaj de la Sergiu Cioiu!
