EVENINGS FM HARDWARE DEVELOPMENT BATCH 01&&**Background**
Radio is one of the earliest forms of multimedia that many people today were exposed to. Radio has always been about sharing culture through discourse and music. Online radio has held together subcultures during times of global crisis through independent stations such as NTS, Lot Radio, and Rinse FM to name a few.
The medium has been inaccessible to many people due to gatekeeping, and expensive and clunky hardware and software. **Evenings’ north star is to democratize high-quality audio broadcasting, giving anyone the tools to start their own station.**
We’ve built a prototype for the most portable tool for broadcasting and recording high-quality audio from any source and a web app for managing and distributing audio. We’re looking for support from the Entropy Dao to manufacture the first batch of Evenings hardware.
**EVENINGS Roadmap follows: **
- Onboard internet radio stations to EVENINGS.FM (ensure that our broadcasting service is stable)
- Scale up Evenings broadcasting infrastructure to support more listeners
- Release our first small batch of hardware to stations on EVENINGS.FM
- Get feedback on the first batch, refine, produce, and release to the public
**Why we need Entropy’s support:**
We’ll need Entropy’s support to fund the production of our first hardware batch. We’re asking for 20 ETH. Production will include:
- 10 ETH for PCB manufacturing
- 6 ETH for enclosure manufacturing
- 4 ETH for packaging and shipping
