Podding with Owl Radio and DJ Meg Gasaway

Published on November 13, 2007 by The Sentinel

    Podcasting has evolved into an inclusive new level of communication
that is changing the way people circulate information. It’s already
allowed people interested in specialist, open markets to be heard and
it’s started to develop a level playing field in broadcasting.

    As anyone with a computer and a microphone can
technically make a podcast–and because there are few constraints to
the content put in them–users from around the world can create shows
covering any topic they like and place them on the Internet.
 
    KSU Owl radio has now been given the chance to take
part in the evolution of podcasting.  It has spent money on buying
newly equipped technology and made listening to the KSU radio easier
for students and faculty members.

    Just tune in with, Meg Gasaway, to listen to the new
podcast for Owl Radio, every Monday and Wednesday from 9 a.m. to 10
a.m. It covers a mix of music, live local bands and interviews.

    Meg Gasaway, DJ for WKSU - Owl RADIO is bringing your radio online.  Just log on to ksuradio.com and listeners will be connected to a live stream of music and a chance to talk to Meg Gasaway herself.

    Gasaway plays a variety of her favorite music, from The Beatles to The Strokes.

    “Most of my music will get you out of bed in the morning and start your day off right,” said Gasaway.

    Music is not the only thing listeners hear. Gasaway
broadcasts and discusses random topics and includes live interviews of
a variety of guest speakers such as: politicians, professors, students
and bands.

    “I gravitate towards topics I find important: what is going on at KSU, and news on Britney Spears,” she said.

    Apart from being the DJ for Owl Radio, Gasaway is
also a participant in student groups, like Nature Bound and LINK. Both
are leadership groups found on campus and are focused on student
development.  Also, check out DJ Brother Ben. He does a show from
10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Friday, called Refuge of Rock.

    According to Gasaway, current listener bases are students and faculty members.

    “Although, you would be surprised, we have a few
international listeners. Oh yes, and my Mom. I am always ready to
explore exciting topics and openly discuss student life.”
