Sound Bytes, the Organic Virtual Televideo Radio Show (on the Internet)


Daniel Fortune, Sound Bytes host interviewing Richard Gingras from the @ Home Network

Given the interest in the area of computers and technology present in the Silicon Valley, our position in this community demands that we address some of the issues that effect those living here. With the addition of Internet access with digital audio and digital video, we have had a unique opportunity to share and interact with the community. Some of the most interesting developments in technology occur on a daily basis, particularly in Silicon Valley, and a radio talk show format is well suited to the goal of providing timely technical information, as well as virtual theater & art to the community.

Program Aim:

With new technology, we will be able to broadcast simultaneously via the air and the Internet. With the addition of Internet access to the program, we will be able to communicate to the world with digital audio and digital video. Also, with Internet access, more interesting guests from technology, arts and leadership roles are inclined to participate since we are communicating with a much wider audience. The aim of Sound Bytes is primarily to educate the audience through the knowledge of our guest for that week, but also to develop community and dialog about the issues in a world of rapid computer and technological advances.
