Go Live Now!

Ever thought you'd make a good Radio DJ? Tired of daydreaming of spinning that iPod playlist you love so much to a wide audience? If you can answer yes to one of or both questions then here's something to give you a fighting chance at beginning a culture and era moulding radio broadcast movement. Here's introducing "Spreaker"...WHAT on earth!? I hear you quibble, well...as weird as that name sounds (also hoping their marketing team were more creative than just putting spread and speaker to form this brand genius) it is probably another Twitter in the making or maybe that's a bit farfetched. Spreaker is one of those DIY personal profile, follow or be followed and play ranking hybrid of podcast hosting sites that also lets you broadcast live to your loyal listeners for all of 30 minutes (Free user accounts) or 3 hours as a Premium member with commercials inserted at 15 minute intervals..niiiice! There's also the very handy link with ubiquitous Facebook profiles to get your listeners flowing in fast and furious, the same share feature lets users update their status with an "I'm LIVE on AIR now" message thereby making you the provider of much needed music for friends that might be unaware of your hot mixes or newly released tracks.

Other features include being able to record podcasts for later broadcasts, use of jingles, sound effects and even looped music for talk segments of a broadcast.
Now, if you're not musically inclined how did you end up on this blog? Ok seriously if you're not a musician or an aspiring DJ this site is still a good platform for your discussions on sport, current affairs and other areas of entertainment. I've said enough to arouse your interests...go now...an SPREAK to the masses!
