For the third time, we’re sending Transom Bloggers to the Radio Without Boundaries Conference at Canada’s Deep Wireless Festival. Our correspondent Justin Grotelueschen, web/podcast/audio/video man, has blogged the conference for us before and says it’s the most inspiring event of its kind, full of enough art, ideas, and play to occupy both halves of your brain. This year, he’ll be accompanied by Nick van der Kolk, self-described as “the main brain behind alt.NPR’s Love & Radio, a freelance radio producer, documentarian, and man about town.” Check out their reports from the front and ask them what’s happening.

New Special Features Blog: Final Thoughts as an Attendee Final Thoughts as an Attendee Now that the conference is a week past, I'm asking myself what I took away from not just the conference, but my trip to Toronto. I actually spent as much time traveling as I did in Toronto, and the 10+ hour drive from Boston was much smoother and more enjoyable than I expected, thanks exclusively to two most excellent travel companions Nick and Amber (with some credit to the pond and sauna action on our return trip via Nick's friend's in upstate NY). I can't think of many more relaxing jou... Read more »
	Wrapping things up for Deep Wireless 2008 (from Nadene Theriault) First off, I'd like to thank Transom for providing once again an incredible archive for our our 6th annual Radio Without Boundaries conference. This is the fourth such archive that Transom has provided, the first in 2003 - our very first conference ...

	Kogawa: Performance, Mini-FM Part II Tetsuo Kogawa gave the keynote speech about micro radio on Sunday morning, followed by a very fine improv performance using the transmitters we built in Saturday's class, a few pieces of plastic, and a couple radios. Clip it: A clip from "han...
	Scrapping Ideas Together from Saturday I'm a little freaky about conference panels based on theoretical discussions (in this case, the creative avenues available to the radio artist today in North America and Europe and the expectations and limitations in different cultural contexts), mai...
	Saturday Night Performance - Space: the Vinyl Frontier Culture jammer TradeMark G. (aka Mark Gunderson) did a half-hour-ish set following the Deep Wireless ensemble / PORTRAITS IN SOUND 2 performance, with Kaos pad and tone arm and laptop etc. in tow. Clip from SPACE: THE VINYL FRONTIER by TradeMark...
	More Mini FM Here's Justin and I with our brand-spanking new FM transmitters. If you're interested in building your own, you can follow Tetsuo's instructions online. It's surprisingly simpler than it looks on first glance. Just be careful--one of our fello...
	Break-out Sessions: Mini-FM A small group of us began to make small FM transmitters today, taught by Tetsuo Kogawa of Japan. He made a transmitter in front of us, then transmitted a signal out of the headphone jack of one radio to another radio across the room tuned to a diffe...
	Absolute Value of Noise I called the guy I'm couchsurfing with a few times this morning to get back into his house--I had left the cable that would let me upload sounds I recorded last night. When I did get in touch with him, he told me "just let yourself in. The house is u...
	The Morning with Chris Brookes Chris is perhaps Canada's most famous independent producer (by default, as he likes to say, as Canada's only real independent producer), and his bio is often embellished with his geographical relation to St. Johns, Newfoundland, the same area that re...
