Do you have a podcast inside you, yearning to be set free? Always wanted an Internet radio station, but don't know where to start? Have a spare $3,000 laying around?

Then have I got a deal for you. The WorldVibrations Internet radio station ($2,850 direct) is a turnkey system you can use to produce podcasts and other programming as well as create a 24-hour-a-day audio stream. All you add is a microphone, perhaps a small mixer, and a connection to a media server or service, like Live365, if you want to stream. Podcasts you produce and distribute.

This isn't what we use to produce Gearlog Radio and our other programs, but this is should be a fine system for people with no broadcasting experience who'd like to get started. This isn't a new product, but I mentioned it to a friend who wants to start an audio stream (and has more $$$ than he knows what to do with), so I thought Gearlog readers might be interested.

And, yes, if you know what you're doing you can build a similar system for considerably less.
