I say we need a monthly, or bi-weekly internet radio show that has people interviewed, or spoken word controibutions from members, or what have you...al?

I think thats an idea worth experimenting with. Even though I wouldn't have the means to listen to it. But it would rock still. :wink:

Decadence: Would you want to be the host? :)

The epiodes could be archived to 64 kbit (or so - good for voice quality) for later playback, archiving, etc..

I could host it...I had a radio show for 4 years in the late 80s.

I support that one. But what would the program contain mostly? Comments, interviews, eerie music or better yet - reading horror stories or suspense, or something like that 8)

All of those are very good ideas. Some time could also be spent during each episode discussing stories, maybe focusing on one per episode. Maybe we could have something where listeners could ask questions (on the forum maybe). That would allow some interaction as well.

How frequently will these episodes appear? Thrice a month?

I guess we would have to plan out a few episodes, to see how much content we could come up with, and how long it would take to put it all together.

The only thing I am thinking about is bandwidth. I am going to look into how much it would take.

Perhaps transcripts could be created and archived too on the site.

Yeah radio takes a lot of bandwidth. You might want to have varying quality too for 56ers.

We may be able to get another server involved if hosting becomes a problem. If the site keeps expanding as well as it has been, I will probably switch hosting plans or providers, and see about getting a lot more space/bandwidth.

So decadence, had you thought of any more specifics?

I could purchase an additional server with 20gb of space, 50 gb of bandwidth per mo, and a fast streaming connection. If i see more interest and this takes shape, let me know al...

I like all the ideas on this!

We could have several host of "Dagon radio". We could do audio versions of our short stories too.

It would be nice if there would be one person reading them all. Like an outsider guy. I listen to a lot of old time radio like CBS Radio Mystery Theater and I know what Im talking about.

Yeah, someone with a deep voice and a sinister accent would be good :)

The ideal guys would be that guy from Cradle Of Filth "Damnation & A Day" - the one who cites the Bible and the war of the angels. The second would be E. G. Marshall from CBS radio :P
