KCRW Podcasting "Morning Becomes Eclectic"
Um...so you can download radio shows and listen to them later, without having to tune in at a particular time. Which is awesome, because really, who under the age of 30 even knows how to operate a radio knob anymore? Hell, I have a hard enough time adjusting my clock radio to the right station and have just come to grips with waking up to La Ley 107.9 every morning (which reminds me: me encanta el chokolate en la mañana!).
Well, on July 21, Los Angeles's favorite public radio station KCRW (89.9 FM) began podcasting segments of its popular music program, "Morning Becomes Eclectic", which is hosted by Nic Harcourt. The premiere podcast was a 40-minute performance/interview featuring Los Angeles' own Goldspot.
The podcasts will be available for download both at KCRW.com and from the latest version of iTunes. They'll be available for two weeks with new and past shows will be added frequently. Harcourt says, "Since we began offering our non-music programs as podcasts, we've been inundated with requests to make music programming available. While the major labels are still figuring it out, the independent artists understand the value of this type of promotion, and I'm happy we're launching 'Morning Becomes Eclectic' podcasts with an L.A. group."
Happy podcasting.
