Morning, everyone. What does the panel think about Blast Radio? We can't figure this out.

6:44Kind of like what we're doing right now, except you'd have to buy a $249 device to listen to audio only. Is it to listen or to broadcast, though? Well, this is to broadcast. Okay. Yeah. And listen. Because it's a private channel, I believe, unless I think you use – you've got this, which is – you can start your own radio. It's kind of like the concept of starting your own radio station that nobody will listen to.

7:14And then there's this, which is the – that's a microphone. No, it's not an ice cream cone that has a pointy bottom on it. I don't know what you'd stand it on top of. You'd have to handhold it wherever you go, but it broadcasts directly to the internet from the cone here. And then there's software if you want to get in cheap, which is a mixer that runs on your PC or your Mac.

7:41So there's that. And I think it's a subscription involved. See here, you got to pay some money every month. I think this is a Ponzi scheme. Yeah, I don't know what this is at all. It sounds, you remember Clubhouse? Remember that thing that was so popular? It was audio only, invitation only, and they'd have people show up live, special, you know, celebrities and stuff, and you could listen to them pontificate for hours.

8:08And it lasted about eight months, and it became unpopular, and nobody does it anymore. What is this, Jeff Francis? So it's a audio-only stream box, and there is no monthly fee. there's no monthly fee for listeners there's no monthly fee for you to stream you can get people to subscribe to you much like a patreon kind of system but uh this is not for us and not everything

8:36has to be for us i feel bad yeah but uh like you know i could see djs eating this up they can they can run a dj set and they will ship it out and anybody can tune in anywhere i mean even like doing a silent DJ event you could just point everyone you don't have to provide headphones everybody let everybody use their own phone and log into your blast

8:59channel and you could run your silent silent DJ event for 250 bucks of hardware and it doesn't have to be just local you could have people tune in anywhere so the you know the actual device to one purchase and then it streams looks like YouTube twitch and their own last radio channel now at 250 bucks with no subscription. How long is the Blast Radio website going to continue to support the Blast device?

9:27Who knows? How many of these are you going to buy, Mickey? You're going to buy a six-pack, ten-pack? What are you doing? I think Jeff is absolutely correct. Like, Jeff Francis, this is not for us. You know, the usual triangle, fast, good, cheap. This is cheap. This is fast. It's not good. But if you just want to get audio and the internet out there, sure, plug it in.

9:53I don't know how this device works. Mickey, it's lossless. I'm assuming there's some sort of auto gain or some compression that's built in that you can't adjust. I don't know. But that's what I would expect from a device like this with no screen, no UI, no real controls apart from some really poor faders on glass UI. It's not for professional productions. It's for someone who just needs to or wants to get content on the air or on the internet.

10:32Okay. Okay. Mr. Cohen, wrap this up. The funny thing, real quick, I was looking at this and trying to figure out, like, okay, is there built-in cellulars or you need, like, to be on someone's Wi-Fi? But no, no, no. I mean, there's an app. So the app is really doing the thing. The app is what's streaming over your phone, using your phone's data.
