John DePetro Live from Poland on QGoLive

WNRI Rhode Island talk host John DePetro is broadcasting his radio program live from Rzeszow, Poland via QGoLive. DePetro says, “Challenging broadcast to say the least but valuable first-hand account of situation in Eastern Europe.” DePetro notes that Rzeszow is the closest airport to the border of Ukraine and main hub for thousands of refugees. He says he’s secured a translator and security and plans to broadcast from the Ukraine border.  Here’s John speaking to his translator Ana about the people she left behind in Ukraine:

 

John says, “I was standing at the Urkraine/Poland border and the QGoLive signal was crisp, clear and reliable. It did not cut out once.  Listeners are just blown away.

Good luck John – stay safe!

 

Remote radio for a year: 90.3 WHPC Case Study
Shawn Novatt in his temporary studio in March of 2020.

Last march WHPC Director Shawn Novatt took a few pieces of equipment home for a couple days and set up a temporary studio in his living room for this whole “Covid” thing to blow over.  Fourteen short months later, his radio station is still largely run live from individuals’ home studios around the clock with no one back in the campus studio… and all the audio is handled via QGoLive (And there are probably fewer TV trays in use now.)

Check out Novatt’s recent interview below.

Dead air – now available in box form!

Apparently the manufactures at Woom Bikes don’t know that the words “OFF AIR” strike fear into the hearts of most broadcasters.  But yes, they make a line of very light aluminum-frame bikes with that name for some reason.  No, the bike does not come equipped with a radio.

Incidentally, one of the first big tests of QGoLive was via bicycle during the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.  Check out this sample.  We do enjoy cycling here at QGoLive.
