A server designed to make it easy to re-broadcast existing content
|
2016-07-18 21:37:14 -04:00
|
|
|
as a podcast. Named after [London Elektricity][1] who, among other
|
|
|
|
|
things, hosts the [Hospital Podcast][2].

Elektricity is also ready to run on Heroku, and that's actually
|
|
|
|
|
how I'm using it at the moment. For example, the web page [here][3]
|
|
|
|
|
looks like [this][4] when running with Elektricity.

The purpose of Elektricity is to take content that exists on the web already,
|
2016-05-06 23:25:53 -04:00
|
|
|
and turn it into a podcast to consume whenever you want. Specifically,
|
|
|
|
|
I'm a huge Drum & Bass head that wanted an easy way to access
|
|
|
|
|
[the Bassdrive archives](http://archives.bassdrivearchive.com/) since
|
|
|
|
|
the only actual podcast I could find was for Ben XO.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
What this server does is essentially just provide you an easy way
|
|
|
|
|
to design podcasts and serve them. The intention is not to host the
|
|
|
|
|
content ourselves, but tell people where to get the content at.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Future ideas: Turn your mixcloud feed into a podcast?
