I want to make my own radio
Some days ago I watched a YouTube video where it was like a fake radio, similar to music playlists you find on YouTube but it had small comments of the "host" and I enjoyed it a lot. Since I started listening to radio I was searching for a radio where they also talk about music but I haven't found any and watching this video made me think of doing one myself.
So, I decided a name, made a silly logo on paint, made the playlist for the first episode and recorded the intro, outro and intermediates. Then I realize that I probably can't upload this because of the copyright, most likely would get blocked ant taken down. I just wanted to have fun and I had it, but it's a shame I can't share it.
Later I thought "maybe I could do a podcast instead talking about the songs and share the playlist" but discarded the idea because it isn't the vibe I'm going for, I'm also not so good at talking, I realize while recording that my diction it's bad even in Spanish and I would need to work on that first. Recording an intro an outro of one minute took more than what it needed it to I can't imagine how much it would take me to record something longer.
Of course there are more options like actually making an online radio. Yesterday I was researching this and there are a lot of options to do it and most are, well, pay services that the unemployed me can't pay. I could set it up without using those services and streaming from my computer but I'm not confident enough that it would be safe since I don't know much about networks and I don't wanna leave my laptop vulnerable (thank you network classes that taught me so much), plus I know that legally I'd have to pay for music licenses.
The last idea that I have is uploading separate videos for the recordings and make a YouTube playlist with the songs and the recordings, sounds a little elaborate but it could work? the bad thing is that YouTube could add ads after the intro for example or before and after an interlude and that would be annoying, but well, it's the only thing I can think of right now.
Oh I also thought of doing a twitch channel, I've heard it's not so strict with music? maybe I'm wrong. I'm still thinking about this option because I wanted to do videos in the first place and being live makes me more nervous.
Any more ideas?
