"Humans will always come back to voice, and so radio may mutate, but it will always survive."
-- Read Mercer Schuchardt

Welcome to the second annual e-dition of AIRSPACE. In the spirit of harvest season, we're delivering a cornucopia of practical and philosophical musings on the subject of new and alternative media.

We've invited some of AIR's sauciest member producers and a McLuhan scholar to our virtual table.

Do not panic. We go electronic only ONCE per year! We'll be back in print for Winter 2005.

Sit back, relax, read, and listen! Take your time to savor each morsel of this feast. Understand how radio in the electronic age takes us back to the oral ancestry of our species. Find out how your colleagues are acquiring the graphic skills demanded by webcasting. Learn where to go on the Internet to know exactly what intellectual property you can use in your programs. Get a glimpse of what's down the pike for online training at AIR. And, find out who among us won what award this year. In most cases we've set things up so you'll be able to hear the winning programs at PRX a mere click away!
