Despite the great amount of podcasts nowadays, I sometimes do miss the experience of live radio. Not out of nostalgia, but mainly for that feeling of live broadcasting, of knowing that something is happening in the now – and you’re not able to skip. Recently live radio makes a comeback trough ustream. “You’re On”, it says, and that’s exactly what the website does: making it very ease to broadcast live.

There’s a lot of crappy webcam talkshows, but there are some great radio gems to find. My favourite ustream moment thusfar was the night when Mamiko was broadcasting live from London with James Pants and Hudson Mohawke, while Ras G, Lukid, Lorn and people from all over the world were listening and commenting in the chatbox – live.

Some recommendations, got more? Please comment.

All these shows are London based by the way. If you enjoy this, also take a look and sign the petition to save legendary London club Plastic People from closing. It’s a homebase for the music scene there, so please show support.
