Know a site that should be on this links page? Email obliviana@aol.com! Jaloppio stuff is generally non-music, non-big media, original audio material that's available via download, stream, and/or MP3-CD. To clarify the thing about music: a band's website with downloadable songs would probably NOT be Jaloppio. These examples WOULD be Jaloppio: an audio documentary about a band, an audio-based music review show, an online radio station that plays music but also has a strong talk element. Check out the links, and you shall grok the spirit of Jaloppio!

JALOPPIO LINKS

Bluffcosm.com - This is my site! I'm rebuilding it, but there's some very cool stuff to listen to. Really psychedelic comedy audio!

Static Internet Radio - Great weekly show with Bob and Miles, two midwesterners that talk about their lives and all sorts of stuff. New show every Wednesday, plus an archive of about a year's worth of shows, in Quicktime format. Always a great listen!

RetroGaming Radio - This is quintessential Jaloppio! A show all about classic video games, hosted by Shane R. Monroe. Many episodes are available as free MP3 downloads. The rest can be purchased on CD-ROM.

Digital Llama Radio - Two different shows. "Fanfilm Radio" (most recent show 7/7/02) is all about the world of Star Wars fan films. "Player's Guide" (most recent show 9/11/02) is all about role-playing games and the like. Both feature a bunch of inspired geeks being goofy. As far as I can tell, all shows are freely downloadable as MP3.

Apotheosis - A hyperactive "intellectual comedy" kind of audio drama. Actually quite good. Free lo-fi streaming, with audio CDs available for purchase. Good business model... but might I suggest MP3-CDs as an alternative?

The Daily Feed - Audio political cartoons... something like that...

The Soul Patrol - Internet audio comedy series.

The Hour of Slack - "The Church of the SubGenius Radio Ministry". Is it a fake cult pretending to be a real cult, or the other way around?

Radio Tiki - "Eclectic news and humor".

Cheese Reels - Movie reviews and more.

X2Radio - From Times Square, NYC.

Anime Radio - Show about anime.

Artemis Radio - Another show about anime.

Ghostly Talk - Show about ghosts and stuff.

The Dave and Ward Show - Internet comedy radio show. Nothing to listen to right now. Site says live netcasting and MP3 archives will be online mid-February 2003.

WGDS - Wiccan Pagan Internet Radio

The "Hate The Radio" Network - Bunch of shows.

radio-quality.co.uk - "The Internet Radio Magazine"

No Holds Barred Radio - New Jersey-based talk/comedy show.

Mike Hodel's Hour 25 - "Science Fiction Radio for Southern California since 1972."

James Randi Internet Audio "Radio" Show - The Amazing Randi proves that psychic powers are fake... something like that...

Ebon Storms - Fantasy audio drama. CD's available for purchase, plus samples in a variety of formats. Complete drama aired on Live365.com (for paying listeners only, since the recent policy change). Only 3 sample tracks on MP3.com, because they also had a recent policy change.

Virtually American - A variety of audio dramas.

Audible.com - "Pay to download" site that uses a proprietary format. Wide range of non-music audio content.

Wyoming Internet Student Radio - Some interesting audio productions.

Yack.com - Guide to Internet broadcasts. Something doesn't seem right about the site... technical difficulties? Hmm...

ZBS - Contemporary audio drama.

The LodesTone Catalog - Audio theater site.

Ultimate SciFi new time radio - Guide to non-OTR sci-fi audio drama. (OTR="Old Time Radio", which I love, but which is not Jaloppio in nature.)

Not From Space - Audio movie "coming soon". Previews available.

Crazy Dog Audio Theatre - Irish audio drama company. They have one of their dramas available as MP3, but I couldn't get the link to work. (Comment: Audio drama that is only available on regular audio CDs is not Jaloppio. In this case, there is an online selection in MP3, but even so, it is barely Jaloppio.)

SHOUTcast - Talk - Streaming stations. Also check out Comedy.

STALE SITES

(Not updated in a long time, but still stuff to listen to.)

SciFi.com's Seeing Ear Theatre - High-profile and somewhat ponderous, but interesting nonetheless. The site is still up and running, but judging from message board posts, it seems that site updates and new content stopped in mid-2001, with no explanation.

Vanishing Harold - Canadian improv sketch comedy. Good stuff, but hasn't been updated in a long time.

The Schnauzer Logic Radio Company - Online talk radio show. The site has not been updated for a long time.

Radio Free OZ - A very, very confusing site that seems to have material from Firesign Theater on it. Firesign Theater is a high-profile "intellectual comedy" group that started in the late 60s.

The Basement Internet Show - Talk show hosted by "The Friendly Fascist" (who is actually not a fascist at all). Most recent show was March 2002.

Matt Radio - "Talk. Music. Mattness." Internet radio show with talk and music and... Mattness. The archives I listened to cut out most of the songs, which is good, in a Jaloppio context. Kinda fun to listen to. Most recent show in archive: August 5, 2002.

Hyphenated-American Radio - "Listen to our 'In Your Mouth!' internet radio show 24/7!" Most recent show, April 2002. On this show, they talk about some kind of syndication deal with "antennaradio.com". Guess it never happened... antennaradio.com looks like it's been gone for awhile...

AUDIO GAMES

Bavisoft - "Software for the blind and visually impaired." They sell a great PC game called "Grizzly Gulch" which is audio-only, but you don't have to be blind to enjoy it!

Audyssey Magazine - "Audyssey is a magazine devoted to the discussion of games which, by accident or design, are accessible to blind or vision impaired persons." Definitely a good source for info on audio gaming, though its scope is much wider.

GMA Games - Software company which makes a game called "Shades of Doom", which is apparently an audio game. Other games of theirs could be audio games as well... hard to tell...

The Interactive Audio Game Project - Audio game idea from Autumn 1997. Alternate Link

BROADCAST RADIO SHOWS / OTHER

(With shows/archives available online.)

The Audio Kitchen - A wide variety of found audio material, such as childhood tapes, answering machines, people singing songs, etc. Used to be a weekly show on NJ radio station WFMU, now only broadcast infrequently. Still going, with a large archive of shows available in Real format (too bad they're not MP3).

Harry Shearer's Le Show - Weekly radio show airing on KCRW, Santa Monica, CA. Over 2 years of show archives online.

Ken Nordine's Word Jazz - Streaming webcasts (Quicktime/Media Player/Real - no MP3) of this beat-era cool poet/atmospheric monologuist dude. Very cool, hip stuff.

How To Speak Hip - Website of a classic vinyl album, where a hipster teaches squares how to speak "hip". Site has a Flash-based page where you can hear the album (MP3s would have been better...).

Joe Frank - Spoken word audio artist type of person. I've heard a lot of good stuff about him, and there's a big archive of shows in Real format. (Why can't sites like these use MP3? I just don't get it! I want to listen to this stuff of my portable MP3, not when sitting in front of my computer!!!)

The Radio Trip - "The Radio Trip with Ben Churchill featuring Comedy Bits, Web Parodies, Sound Bites, & Literature." Interesting radio show with lots of MP3 clips and Real streaming shows.

DEAD AND SUSPENDED SITES

(Sites that have disappeared or suspended operations. Dead links go to archive.org where you can see some archived versions of the sites.)

Radiokook - Audio comedy from San Francisco. Fate unknown.

Giant Steps - British audio comedy "saga". Dry humor. Site gone.

eYada.com - High-profile online talk radio. Went out of business and shut down in July 2001.

The VaudeVillains - Described on their site as an "Online audio comedy troupe presenting original humor written and performed by sick, sick people." Site has no content. Last archive.org update 7/20/01.

Preservatory.com - Very cool site that shut down in Fall 2001. They had a variety of audio features from the vaults of the Canadian Broadcasting Company. The archive.org site backups can give you an idea of what it was about.

Audio Cinema(TM) - Hmm... claiming a trademark on the term "Audio Cinema"... but the site looks deader than a doornail...
