Abstract
In 2004 we launched a project under the glorious acronym of SIG-OSSEE. SIG-OSSEE stood for Special Interest Group for Open Source Software in Europe. The project aimed to explore the potential of Open Source Software (OSS) for education. In our application we had said we would produce a fortnightly newsletter about the project. I quickly realised this would be a lot of work. Better, we thought, to use the then very new technology of podcasting which was just breaking on the scene. And then we needed a name for the podcast. Thus was born ‘Sounds of the Bazaar’. In this short paper we want to tell our story of how we became involved with internet radio from the early Sounds of the Bazaar podcasts to the RadioActive project and beyond.
