For those of you that need something richer than just text, Blog Talk Radio is a site that hosts online talk radio. The site allows users to interact (for free) by either hosting their own show or calling in and speaking on a different broadcast.
A Show for Every Viewpoint
While Blog Talk Radio is used to broadcast about any subject that you could possibly want to hear about, for the purpose of this blog I checked out some shows about politics. I listened to a show about progressive politics and a show about the War in Iraq. Whether you are liberal or conservative or anywhere in between, Blog Talk Radio has something for you. In the political radio category alone there is 2,527 different shows. I sifted through a handful of them before I found 2 good shows and that is what you will have to do to find a show that appeals to you.
The Downside
This site is very unique because it gives everybody and anybody a chance to participate in radio. Because of this though, not everybody can broadcast professional broadcasts. Sound quality is not the best and most shows sound like you are listening to somebody's phone conversation. While radio shows do speak of politics and offer alternative political ideas and outlooks, you have to really pay attention and dig for a good show.
Try It
Blog Talk Radio is definitely worth a try. It is very easy to use. All you have to do is register and then go dig around on the site to find a radio show that fits your taste and enjoy.
