Have a playlist? You can have a show.
Your music. Your tribe. Your stories.
From your kitchen, your workshop, your living room, the beach, the mountaintop, or wherever you happen to be.
Your world is the studio.
Airstreaming gives you the platform to turn the music you already love into your own radio show.
Create a playlist. Introduce the songs. Tell us why you chose them. Bring in a guest. Play some of your own music. Or simply put together an hour or two of great music and share it.
Already know how? Go for it.
If you’re a DJ, musician, audio person or already comfortable putting together a programme, we can get you connected to Airstreaming and onto the schedule.
You create the radio show. We provide the broadcast platform.
Choose your music, choose your format and find a time that works for you.
Need a little help? We’re here.
We can work with you remotely to get everything running.
Through Zoom, we can help you set up the broadcasting software, connect your audio, test your microphone and music, connect you to Airstreaming and walk through your first broadcast with you.
Once you’re comfortable, you’re ready to go.
And when you’re on the air, we’re still here. Airstreaming provides the streaming infrastructure and support behind the programme so you can concentrate on creating a radio show people want to hear.
Want to learn? We can help with that too.
If you’d like more than an orientation, Character Driven offers workshops in radio and audio production, interviewing, storytelling, recording, streaming and programme development.
You can start with a playlist and learn more as you go.
The important part is starting with something you enjoy.
What would your radio show sound like?
Maybe you’re the person in the restaurant kitchen who always has the best playlist.
Maybe you’ve spent years collecting blues, jazz, folk, country or records nobody else seems to know.
Maybe you’re a musician who wants to play your own songs alongside the artists who influenced you.
Maybe you’re a great interviewer.
Maybe you’ve got Music from the Kitchen, Music from the Beach, Saturday Night from the Workshop, or something nobody else has thought of yet.
An hour. Two hours. Three hours. Weekly. Monthly. Occasionally.
It’s your radio show. Make it yours.
Build an audience and give them a way to support you.
Airstreaming is built around a simple idea: help interesting people, artists and creators reach an audience, and give that audience practical ways to support what they discover.
Through TipsOkay, your radio show can have a support presence where listeners who appreciate what you’re doing have a way to contribute.
Your programme can also introduce listeners to your own music, gigs, projects, events, artwork or other creative work.
There are no guarantees about what a radio show will earn. Building an audience takes time.
But if people value what you’re creating, we want to give them an easy way to support you.
Bring your audience. Meet ours.
This is where it gets interesting.
You tell your people:
“I’m on Airstreaming Thursday night.”
Another host tells their people they’re on Saturday.
A musician shares an upcoming Airstreaming interview with their followers. Someone comes to hear that musician and discovers your radio show. Your listeners stay around and discover another artist.
Every DJ, host, guest, musician and listener adds another branch.
Instead of each of us trying to build an audience alone, our audiences can discover one another.
That’s how a community grows.
What does Airstreaming bring to the table?
The platform. The stream. The schedule. The support. The community.
We can help you get connected, learn the system, test your programme, get onto the Airstreaming schedule and establish a presence for your radio show.
We can also help connect what you’re doing with the wider Airstreaming and TipsOkay community.
You bring the music, the ideas, the personality and the things you care about.
Together, we put them on the air.
