Rise Up & Radio Rootz at the Grassroots Media Conference
Kat from Rise Up Radio and members of our fellow youth project at WBAI, Radio Rootz, presented sessions at the Grassroots Media Conference held this weekend at the New School. The audio from these panels will soon be available online.
Kat was on a panel speaking about internet radio, FM radio, and how they interact. Relevant links from that panel/subject are below:
.........................................................................................
August Sound Coalition: radio producers and activists who came together for the Republican National Convention and who now collaborate on radio projects in the city. You can listen to ASC's coverage of the RNC (scroll to the bottom of the Information frame), and check out the flier on how to do street reporting.
Critical Mass Radio Network: a network of internet and low power FM stations around the country who coordinate a national day of programming on the last Friday of each month.
Prometheus Radio Project: a microradio resource center offering legal, technical, and organizational support for the non-commercial community broadcasters.
Audacity: free, open source audio editing software. Download it and make some radio.
Auppix: a free operating system for microradio and tactical sound; bootable CD for making streaming internet radio. In Beta version - download and test it out!
Free Radio Berkeley: radio training action center; sells transmitters (while carefully noting, as we do here, that pirate radio violates FCC regulations) and holds workshops that teach you how to build an FM broadcast transmitter and a bunch of other stuff.
Our Media: free storage and free bandwidth for your videos, audio files, photos, text or software - in beta but worth checking out. Also supports Creative Commons and other cool things.
Minidisco.com: a site that sells minidisc recorders, mics, and other stuff you might need to make radio. Also has a helpful feature comparison chart to help make sure that the MD recorder you buy has the features you need, like a mic input.
Your Pirate Station: resources for CB radio transmissions and a bunch of other radio/transmission-relevant things.
Neutrotransmitter: transmission arts and activism.
free103point9: Brooklyn-based transmission arts and streaming internet radio. free103 is releasing Auppix on CD shortly, yay!

Announcements - April 1 2005 show
Announcements from today's edition of Rise Up Radio:
- There are 22 40-story towers proposed for development on the Williamsburg waterfront, and the community’s not having it. These will be luxury housing in an already gentrifying community. Come to the city council hearing this Monday, April 4th at 1 pm to make your voice heard. Even if you don’t live in Williamsburg, come resist the transformation of NYC into a city for the rich – this isn’t just Brooklyn, it’s citywide and the resistance should be citywide.That’s this Monday April 4th at 1 pm – check www.communityplan.org.
- On April 5, the Columbia Law School Center for the Study of Law & Culture along with Outlaws: the Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, and Queer Students' Association will host "Guarding the University: A Teach-In on ROTC, JAG, and the Relationship Between the Military and the Academy." The teach-in – scheduled for Tuesday, April 5th from 5 to 8 p.m. in Jerome Greene Hall, Room 102 – is open to the public and the press.
- Times-Up! Brooklyn Committee presents: FREE RIDE TO FIRST SATURDAY!
Come join X-Up! as we hit the streets and ride together to the Brooklyn Museum of Art's free monthly extravaganza! Meet @ 530 pm in Union Square South or 6pm on the Brooklyn-side of the Williamsburg bridge. Bring locks and bring your dancing shoes. This is a one-way ride, but arrangements will be made at the museum for group rides back to various hoods across the city. If you get off late from work or need to come later, we invite you to join us at our hook-up point in the third floor....just look for the X-Up! crew guarding a pile of helmets & bags.
