Inline Radio – Anna Ramos

Online radio takes one of the (old) media to a new territory full of possibilities. Applied to the world of the arts, it has meant a resurgence of radio art, as well as the approach to the medium of next-generation sound artists. Podcasting, much easier to implement than traditional radio, has democratized access to radio storytelling, multiplying their voices and possibilities. Likewise, digital radio, in its natural environment on the Internet, not only transcends borders and is amplified through social networks, but also makes us think of an expanded radio, between the repository and the archive.
