mediageek 5-6-05 download: Open Source Independent Radio Distribution - Shawn Ewald of the A-Infos Radio Project

We interview Shawn Ewald, programmer and volunteer behind the A-Infos Radio Project. The project has been serving an archive of independently produced and shared radio programming since 1996 -- before most of the world had heard of "mp3." Ewald recently opened up the source of the softward that runs the Project so that others may also use or improve it.

Shawn passed along links to some of the example programs he mentioned in the interview. They're after the jump (after the download & stream links).

From Shawn:

I just thought I'd pass this along some references to some of the programs I mentioned in the interview (and some I thought of after) that I feel make the radio project unique.
