Radio para internet con Podcast: conceptos básicos
Montar una radio tradicional para transmitir mensajes mediante ondas hertzianas conlleva diversas limitaciones que, en muchos casos, dificultan o incluso impiden que el proyecto se materialice. La necesidad de licencias administrativas, la inversión en equipos, la disponibilidad de un espacio físico o el alcance reducido por la potencia de emisión son algunos de los principales obstáculos. En cambio, desarrollar una radio a través de internet resulta mucho más simple y accesible. No se requiere autorización oficial, los recursos técnicos son mínimos y económicos, y cualquier habitación o aula puede convertirse fácilmente en un pequeño estudio. Además, es posible crear diferentes emisoras con identidades propias, adaptadas a cada objetivo o temática, y llegar a oyentes de todo el mundo gracias a la red. En este curso descubrirás cómo crear tu propia radio por internet y producir contenidos en formato podcast, utilizando herramientas digitales accesibles y estrategias que te permitirán conectar con una audiencia global.
