Frou Frou - Origins. In 1998, Heap was introduced to Sigsworth to help produce her debut album, I-Megaphone, which was released on now-defunct Almo Records. Their first collaborative effort was on the album track, and first single, "Getting Scared."

The modern "third service" for MPR (the organization already operates "news and information" and classical music networks) is still in its formative stages, but the station plays a wide range of music that attempts to break out of the strict formats that have come to dominate American radio ever since Top 40 appeared in the mid-20th century. The KCMP "anti-format" was announced in mid-December 2004, along with the station's new program director, Steve Nelson, and music director, Thorn. The anti-format format is meant to reflect the musical d ...

Although comedy was once a significant part of American broadcast radio programming it is now mainly found in the archives of Old Time Radio enthusiasts and in internet streaming of comedy recordings. Exceptions to this are WSRN's "Audience of Two", Garrison Keillor's work on Minnesota Public Radio: "A Prairie Home Companion" and "Comedy College", and NPR's Car Talk, a comedy show thinly disguised as car advice. In Britain and Canada, however, the BBC and CBC respectively have continued making new radio comedy and drama. British radio comedy also has a home on Australia's Radio National and in Ireland there are alway ...

Any given public radio station may be an NPR member and an affiliate of PRI simultaneously. ...

The publish/subscribe model of podcasting is a version of push technology, in that the information provider chooses which files to offer in a feed and the subscriber chooses among available feed channels. While the user is not "pulling" individual files from the Web, there is a strong "pull" aspect in that the receiver is free to subscribe to (or unsubscribe from) a vast array of channels. Earlier Internet "push" services (e.g., PointCast) allowed a ...

Subscribing to podcasts allows a user to collect programs from a variety of sources for listening or viewing offline at whatever time and place is convenient to the user. In contrast, traditional broadcasting provides only one source at a time, and the time is broadcaster-specified. "Streaming" files from the Internet can remove the specified-time restriction, but still offers only one source at a time, and requires the user to be connected to the Internet while playing the files. The ability to "aggregate" programs fr ...
