Some notes on a #ds106radio broadcasting setup
So Maren Deepwell blogged a lovely post expressing much of the joy and salve for the soul that I think myself, Tannis Morgan and her have all felt when we’ve done our thing on #ds106radio. I have a half-written post about much the same and … Continue reading Some notes on a #ds106radio broadcasting setup
