We have two guests for Episode 58: John Schaefer, co-founder and Creative Director, and Matt Schaefer, co-founder and Web App Developer, for Radio Rethink — a project conceived to move community and micro-community radio into the spotlight of the mobile media landscape.
Community radio and eclectic music programming are big passions shared by The Brothers Schaefer and myself, and thus we geek out about:
- the purpose and function of Radio Rethink
- how community and public radio stations are already benefiting greatly from the service
- what motivates the Schaefers to provide Radio Rethink at such a low cost
- and how, for all their bells and whistles and billion-dollar budgets, titans like Spotify, Apple Music, etc. don’t compare to the deep crates and cultural knowledge of an adventurous, low-budget, volunteer-powered community radio station
All of that and more, as the Boulder Tech Podcast speaks with Radio Rethink’s John Schaefer and Matt Schaefer.
