   HYBRID BROADCASTING: web streaming and micro FM broadcasting

   This workshop will be a hands-on excercise in hybrid broadcasting, using
   a  variety of tactics to distribute an audio signal over wires and
   airwaves. Participants will learn how to use simple audio applications to
   produce a short recorded broadcast, use a preconfigured Linux webstreaming
   platform get the audio on the web, and how to build an antenna and set up
   a 1 Watt micro-FM transmitter to redistribute the signal locally.
