“On satellite, our show was limited to our broadcast time slot and when it ended, another show would play. “We love the immediacy that SGrecast gives us,” praised Patterson.

Recordings are also posted in DNR’s online archive and podcast feeds. SGrecast records the streams, and as soon as the show is over, rebroadcasts the recording in a loop until the next day’s live broadcast. The show is streamed as a live broadcast each weekday, with the Exstreamer sending the live studio audio to the StreamGuys network. The resulting workflow quickly and efficiently turns DNR’s live broadcasts into podcasts while enabling “Derek and Romaine” to be heard 24/7. The web interface also makes life way easier for me, as I can jump in and see how the system is running from anywhere.” With Barix, I don’t even have to think about it – it’s always ready and waiting, which is particularly helpful now that we’re running multiple shows out of our studio. “With Nicecast, I had to start and stop each broadcast, which left room for error. “I absolutely love the Exstreamer,” said Patterson.

StreamGuys recommended the Barix Exstreamer series, and the results have exceeded her expectations.

We know we aren’t their biggest client, but from day one, they have always made us feel like our business is important to them.”ĭNR 2.0 first went live using Rogue Amoeba’s Nicecast software to encode their audio stream, but with development support for Nicecast ending earlier this year and its eight-year-old underlying MacBook nearing the end of its lifespan, Patterson decided to switch to a dedicated encoding device. “StreamGuys was perfect for us – their solution was turnkey enough that we were able to make it work for us really effectively, and StreamGuys’ staff walked us through every step. “Romaine had a recording engineering background, which was essential in building a world-class studio to broadcast from, but every aspect of streaming technology was brand new to us,” Hartley recalled. “It lets us recreate the experience of our previous show as much as possible while giving us the flexibility to rebroadcast our shows 24/7 and do additional programming like standard podcasts.”ĭNR depended heavily on StreamGuys’ customer service to help them transition to the online realm. “StreamGuys’ technology fit the bill perfectly,” explained Hartley. We met with lots of great people who are creating terrific content in the world of podcasts, but none of them had the technology or business structure to help us deliver the kind of show we wanted to do, so we kept looking.”ĭNR’s research led them to StreamGuys’ content delivery and podcasting network and the SGrecast recording and repurposing platform. Our audience expects to hear us every day on their way to or from work, and the off-the-cuff nature of our show and the ability to take live phone calls are really important to us. “We explored doing a podcast, but after so many years in the dynamic world of live radio, it didn’t feel like a fit for us. “We needed to find a way to keep doing our show, our way,” said Hartley. When their show’s run on satellite radio ended after more than 12 years, the duo wanted to continue reaching their established following of commuters and truckers that depended on them for entertainment every day.
