“Headphones Are Stethoscopes” is the name of my weekly show on WCWM 90.9FM, the local college radio station at William & Mary, where I am a law student. We’re located a mere block away from Colonial Williamsburg, and I like to imagine that all the blacksmiths and butter-churners listen to me on their anachronistic boomboxes.

Usually, I play new CDs I find in the studio as well as tunes I’ve discovered via blogs and other random MP3 requests that my friends send my way.

For this past week’s show, I decided to exclusively play tracks off of Muxtape, Tumblr, and the occasional Facebook profile. Essentially, I was broadcasting Web 2.0 via an analog signal, while people were making real-time digital requests. Now, with the captured analog signal, we have transformed it back into a computer-based format ready for your consumption. “An analog boy in a digital world.”

The show was an amazing success, and several hundred people all across the world ended up checking out the archived broadcast via my Tumblr page in the days that followed. It’s exciting to see the way technology is helping us share new things with each other; even a small-time DJ in Virginia!
