Though having an online radio station is accessible and simple, it is still nice to create your own designated studio space. If you can find a corner of a room in your home or a small room where you can add acoustic enhancement. You'll want to keep your computer there as your base of operation, along with a large desk. You don't need much gear to create an internet radio station. However, if you plan on talking on your radio show or inviting guests to your station, you'll want to invest in a good microphone. Consider how many people you want to have on your station speaking at a time. If you only plan on streaming music with no talk breaks, you won't need a microphone. If you do plan on speaking a lot on your radio station, you'll want to think about improving the acoustics of your studio area. To listen for the acoustics in your room, walk around and clap your hands. Listen to see if your hear a harsh ringing or a light reverberation. If you hear something closer to the ringing, you'll want to add some acoustic treatment. Add acoustic panels to your walls. If you can, make the furniture in this area plush and add soundproof foam. Depending on the type of content you want to produce, creating a podcast can be an easy way to put out digital audio content on a regular schedule. People can follow your podcast and listen at their leisure. Most podcasts are in MP3 format and shared either through iTunes, Soundcloud, or both. The advantage of a podcast is that many people are already familiar with the format and follow other podcasts. When you post a new podcast, it will send out notifications to your followers.
