Daveo Radio is just a little place I can share some music and chat with friends. It's only on when I'm listening, but I enjoy listening to music and I spend quite a bit of time doing so. I like to tune into terrestrial stations that stream to help find new music, but I’ve found almost all of the robot mixes from the big streaming providers unsatisfying. For the last couple years, I've been scanning all kinds of discovery mechanisms and making a new mix every month. I'd like to teach others how to setup a basic microphone and board to broacast to these streaming servers so that I can have a variety of playlist and my friends can also host live shows I can listen to. I'd like to thank Radio Paradise for the original motivation to setup my own servers. It's taken me some time to learn the ropes of building out the servers, but right now I've got two servers running from Los Angeles and Atlanta. It wouldn't be possible without the work of numerous others who have built the software to power this page.
