Click to join radioshanghai
Many questions emerged already after I reported about our Radio Shanghai meeting last night. Most often asked question: how are you going to make money when you only do it in English? Shouldn't you also do it in Chinese?
Those are actually two questions, although they are related.
First, making money is not the first target. While some of the weblogs do, even the most succesful podcasters only make money when they join the more traditional media, like Adam Curry did recently. Although, new ways of distributing, for example by i-tunes, might change that. The number of Chinese participants was relatively low, that was one reason, and podcasting in Chinese would make the censors a bit more aware of what we are doing. We should perhaps not take that too serious, but all depends first on proposals we will get and how sustainable individual feeds would be.
Radio Shanghai would offer some branding, make it possible to share resources, since most have no experience in making radio, some have and a bit of training could be part of our activities. More questions? Let them come!
I have a question too, one I forgot to ask last night. I'm still struggling to find a non-nerdy solution to record interviews by skype: does anybody know about progress here?
