Dear Nurse Ansalong:
I really love 'Rocky Radio' and I was wondering if there's anyway I could get my own radio show? I'm not in college so college radio is out. And also, how do you start internet radio, what equipment do you need, etc?

Pink, here's an answer from the man himself...

Cosmo: It can be done with a simple microphone plugged into a computer's mic input. A program that can record your voice, something like Sound Forge is great because it can do fades too. An internet account that will allow for Real Audio is good. Save the Audio to a .ra format, make a link to it from a web page, and it will play. If you want to get complex and add mulitple mics and such I would suggest a small mixer. Radio Shack sells them.

You might also want to try researching through the better search engines using phrases like "internet radio" or something similar. I'm sure that there are many how-to sites out there for you to check out. Good luck! : )
