Monday, May 1, 2006 at 11:18 AM Didn't someone mention before that when asked about that, Tosh said he'd be interested for the right offer? It would be a nice paying regular gig and he could still do stand-up in the LA area. —Mayonnaise |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 11:23 AM well, 1, he can cancel dates. 2, he can move dates, and 3 maybe not do Loveline on Sunday (pre-record maybe? use Nicole?) and still do Friday through Sunday shows. If he is getting paid to do Loveline, then he could cut back some of his dates. —Laxdude |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 2:00 PM I think pre-recorded shows are out of the question. Drew said he and Adam wanted to try that when Adam took the morning gig and were told radio "had to be live." With that said, I think they can make this work. Both Adam and Drew occasionally had to take nights off. That's what Bruce and Stryker are for.......well, maybe not Stryker. —Mayonnaise |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 2:08 PM I still think they could pre-tape the Sunday show, but I would rather they hired Nicole to be a regular fill in, maybe regular one night a week host —Laxdude |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 3:01 PM what the hell is that thing It's like a portable studio. You plug it into an internet connection and you can broadcast (more or less) studio quality audio from just about anywhere (with a little delay) without sounding like a crappy phone call. —anobody |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 3:53 PM Zephyrs stream AAC encoded audio over POTS (among other things). That amounts to about 40kbps AAC stream usually just encoding voice from a non-lossy source (the mic). With a little equalizing (e.g. doing a 15kHz lowpass for FM) it sounds amazing good. Zephyrs can, and were originally made too, work similarly on ISDN lines. ISDN lines give you a larger amount of guaranteed bandwidth and aren't as flakey as telephone lines. But this isn't nearly as remarkable.
You get MUCH higher quality audio from one telephone to another if each end has a v.92 modem sitting on it that just encodes or decodes the and audio stream (ogg is still the best at low-bitrates like this for general purpose audio, and speex is by far the best just for voice), then you get from picking up the phone and calling someone.
If you were running a pirate radio station, home-made techology like this would be a great way to seperate your production operations (studio, file servers, etc) from where you broadcast. In fact, I may have thought of doing just that as far back as 2002. Or you could just mobilize your entire setup in a van. —ZT-In-Heat |

Monday, May 1, 2006 at 9:38 PM I agree. AAC is amazing. I’ve been running an online web station at 40kbps in stereo with aac and it sounds like regular Lame encoded 98kbps would. Just as long as the listener has the correct decoders installed.
Zephyrs were also designed to keep latency very low.
