ABOUT THE WORLDVIBRATIONS RADIO STATION & PODCASTER

The WorldVibrations Radio Station & Podcaster was invented by Russell Johnson, a 30 year veteran of commercial, public and Internet broadcasting and international media projects in 56 countries.

Major assistance was provided by VIA Technologies Inc., one of the world's leading designers of computer chipsets, microprocessors, and multimedia, optical storage, communication and networking chips.

"The WorldVibrations Radio Station is an affordable unit about the size of a VCR that integrates podcasting with an an on-air studio and a production studio," says Johnson. "It offers users ranging from individual artists and political action groups to multi-national organizations access to an international audience very inexpensively.”

Johnson also sees the device as a way to empower communities. Where laws permit, it is easy to connect a traditional radio transmitter to the WVRS and offer community service and truly local programming, a notion that is fast disappearing as the ownership of media consolidates into the hands of a few like minds. "This is a way for local communities and individual artists and groups to gain a voice," says Johnson.

The WorldVibrations Radio Station is a product of Travelmedia Communications, which has developed media solutions and projects for international clients including governments, international organizations and corporations since 1982 and is a pioneer in the use of streaming media .

Russell Johnson, president of Travelmedia, is also known as The Connected Traveler. His stories, photos, audio and video from around the world have earned his web site accolades from numerous international publications. Lonely Planet calls it “Armchair travel at its best.” Johnson’s own radio station, running on the WVRS, can be found at www.connectedtraveler.com.
