Habitat Radio
During the making of the 15th XPUB Special
Issue, we experimented with tools to broadcast
audio sources. After learning LiquidSoap, “a
language for describing audio and video streams”,
I’ve been using it to organise and schedule
the execution of audio files. Matched with
IceCast, a streaming media project released as
free software, it’s possible to broadcast podcasts,
compilations and live performances, given
an online space. Thanks to new skills acquired,
and expecting the online radio to be a possible
communication tool for Habitat, I created
the first Habitat Radio’s attempt, hosted in the
XPUB Sandbot webserver.
