Ting-radio is not another radio-station. It is a way to let listeners participate on a radio-show or to even let them entirely perform it on their own. Such participation can happen on two levels.
- text. Write proposals for what to talk about, comment on the show or write text to be read out. This takes at least a chat-application (like irc), better a collaborative-editor (like gobby). In a collaborative-editor you see as many cursors as participants are logged in. Everybody can edit the text whereever and all participants see all changes made in real-time.
- voice. Speak into your microphone at home and your words go out (almost) in real-time into the radio-show's life-stream. This takes a VoIP-appkication. To prevent overlap and disturbing noises it has to have a push-to-talk functionality. People only hear your voice as long as you push a predefined key on your keyboard. When you release this key your microphone is muted again. Teamspeak has such a push-to-talk functionality.
To allow potential chaos to organize from insides and turn into an interesting radio-stream it takes the participants to run and work with these applications simultaniously. So you agree on who is next to speak on the text level while listening to the show. Ting-radio is no styled radio-program, it is rather a technical setting that allows for a spontaneous developement of a life-streamed "radio-show". the conditions are similar to the fact that a bunch of musicians does need a practize-room and instruments and amplifiers as basic technical requirement to play a jam-session together. Fullfilling these requirements doesn't mean at all that people will be able to collaborate. But not fullfilling these requirements guarantees that there will be no collaboration. It's a process for all to learn and a single dickhead can mess up a common attempt completely. Ting-radio is an experiment.
