Historically it has been quite expensive to produce and host a live
radio program that is broadcasted for a global audience. Today, it is
possible to share a live webcast over the Internet using a laptop
computer, a high speed Internet connection, and a combination of free
software programs as well as one $30 commercial software program. In
this session I will explain and demonstrate how to use a Mac laptop, a
USB cell phone data card, a web browser and the website Ustream.tv,
Skype software, Audio Hijack Pro software (the $30 program) as well as
Camtwist to webcast for a global audience on a shoestring budget. We
will also explore how to use the free applications Ustream, Qik, and
Mogulus to webcast live, as well as the live-blogging tool CoverItLive
which can be integrated with any of these webcasting tools. Access
