I'm going to start this article in the most illogical manner possible, by telling you a cautionary tail of when learning from your mistakes could actually be a bad thing.

So a few months ago a bunch of us decided to stay up half the night and write a law about regulating AI. Originally this was a joke, but afterwards we looked at it and said "hey this is pritty good", why I hear you ask, well AI is becoming an embedded part of our lives, with increasing decision making and control, so it makes sense that at some point we would need to regulate it. I have to stress two things. Firstly we are not legal experts, so the wording is perhaps a little informal, and secondly this is not a real law, and probably never will be, its just a bunch of computer scientists and cyber security nerds throwing words down in a hope it makes sense.  Enjoy.

As a kid I was a fan of Captain Scarlet, Thunderbirds and Stingray - but an important physics question has always bugged me about those cars that captain scarlet drove, could it actually be driven backwards without throwing up all over the place. Fortunately for us, Tom Scott is on the case.

Internet radio is one of my passions in life. I think people need passions, they need something they can turn to and disappear into, away from the stresses of life. Running, and producing a show on an internet radio station is my passion.

I will be honest, I love this part of the job. The studio is the heart of the action when it comes to internet radio. I've seen some incredible ones in my time, from 6 monitors, professional microphones suspended from the ceiling, using the latest pro-tools and streaming software, to the not so great guy with a laptop and headset. There are just two things holding you back, budget and knowledge. My knowledge I've accumulated over the years hasn't actually come from the internet radio world, in-fact it comes from

So this article is probably going to be a short one. Indeed, there isn't much to say about servers, other than they are a 'necessary evil'. Server technology can be difficult to understand, and only knowing whats required I find simplifies the process.

This is probably the most controversial subject in internet radio broadcasting. How to build and keep an audience. Lets face it if you don't have an audience you are basically talking to yourself for 2 hours, listening to music and sometimes if you are lucky reading out a re-tweet from two weeks ago, which someone accidentally posted on your stations twitter account.
