Decentered Media Podcast 052 – Josh Aitman Melodic Distraction

Independent community radio is a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly popular around the world as streaming and live media services become more accessible. This evening I spent time with Josh Aitman of Melodic Distraction in Liverpool, to discuss how the collaborative team behind this independent, vibrant and creative online radio station have cut a distinctive role in Liverpool’s music and culture scene. Josh discussed the challenges of working with a community of passionate volunteers, and how web streaming is challenging the role of broadcast radio.
