Episode 93: The Open Source Broadcast Appliance




Ask Noah Show show

Summary: <p>Fred Gleason has worked for years to develop a open source Linux based broadcasting appliance. Rivendell can be used for the acquisition, management, scheduling and playout of audio content. It has all of the features one would expect in a modern, fully-fledged automation system, including support for both PCM and MPEG audio encoding, full voicetracking and log customization as well as support for a wide variety of third party software and hardware. Fred joins us this hour to tell us the story of how Rivendell can make anyone a headache free broadcaster.</p> <h3><strong>-- The Cliff Notes --</strong></h3> <p>For links to the articles and material referenced in this week's episode check out this week's page from our podcast dashboard!</p> <p><a href="http://podcast.asknoahshow.com/93" rel="nofollow">This Episode's Podcast Dashboard</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.voxtelesys.com/asknoah" rel="nofollow">Phone Systems for Ask Noah provided by Voxtelesys</a></p> <p>Join us in our dedicated chatroom #AskNoahShow on Freenode!</p> <h3><strong>-- Stay In Touch --</strong></h3> <p><strong>Find all the resources for this show on the Ask Noah Dashboard</strong></p> <blockquote> <p><a href="http://www.asknoahshow.com" rel="nofollow">Ask Noah Dashboard</a></p> </blockquote> <p><strong>Need more help than a radio show can offer?
