taintradio

Welcome

London-based guitarist/singer/songwriter Bex Marshall at Papa Mojo’s Roadhouse in Durham, NC on May 15, 2009.  taintradio did a live webcast of her appearance the following night at Marsh Woodwinds in Raleigh as part of the ongoing taintradio/Marsh Woodwinds concert series.  That concert is now available for listening via our podcast page (Photo by Diane Davis).

taintradio.org is an international alliance of independent producers dedicated to presenting music and music-related programming on the Internet 24/7. Each program host is autonomous and presents only the music he/she wishes to present. Our audience is anyone who enjoys an eclectic and adventurous mix of music. taintradio is non-commercial and listener-supported but we don’t do on-air fundraising. Our listen button works for anyone with a high-speed broadband connection; our website has a tip jar to which we sincerely hope you will choose to contribute.

Currently our programs originate from North Carolina, Georgia, Maine, Boston, New York, Philadelphia, London and Paris. Additional programs are in development from various locations throughout the world.

As unpaid volunteers, our primary expenses are music licensing and broadband costs, which are driven by the size of our audience. We have no interest in creating yet another organization that requires vast sums of financial support for its own sake. We just want to retain our independence, select and play music without regard to its alleged “commercial” appeal and pay the bills we incur in the process. It’s that simple.

Our Website

There is a listen button. Assuming you have a high-speed Internet connection, you can listen to taintradio any time. It is a mixture of live and recorded music presented by independent program hosts. Some of the programs are presented live and some are pre-recorded from locations throughout the world.

There is a program schedule.

There are blog pages for each program host. This is where you will find their most recent playlists. You can also post your comments to individual program hosts through their blog page.

There is a tip jar. If you click on that, you will be connected to Pay Pal, through which you may contribute to taintradio.org. That is our only means of financial support, so donations in any amount are always welcome. Each contributor will receive a taintradio bumper sticker; contributors of $50 or more will also receive a taintradio.org t-shirt or women’s tank-top shirt (a $943.75 value). There are no shipping charges.

There is a contact section. If you have comments and suggestions about taintradio.org please direct them to:
