Radio Nights
by Derrick StoryNetwork Newsletter for 07/09/2002
Dear Reader,
One of my favorite scenes from watching depression-era movies is
when the family huddles around the big-knobbed radio and listens
to their favorite program. Today, our listening habits are a little
different -- most folks only tune in during daily commutes and
weekend baseball games.
But another form of audio programming is on the rise: the Internet broadcast. Live interviews and music streamed over the Web to your computer. A great example of this new medium is "The Linux Show" (www.thelinuxshow.com) every Tuesday night at 8 pm CDT.
Tonight's show features Tim O'Reilly talking about "The Strange Case of the Disappearing Open Source Vendors." If you've already read Tim's much-discussed article on the same topic, then you should enjoy tonight's discussion about open source's role in today's software industry.
And don't despair if you miss the broadcast; you can always download a replay from The Linux Show site.
