Rhodes has a radio station! This initiative started almost two years ago, and was originally going to be a major CODA project. After having run into some very difficult barriers, we had to drop the project from the large agenda the program attempts to carry out. Some dedicated students, however, and the Rhodes Activities Board picked up the pieces and have assembled an online radio station for the college. I've listened to it briefly, and some of the material is pretty good. My belief is that as it gains in popularity, the quality of programming will also continue to improve. Either way, it is certainly exciting that a tiny college like Rhodes can now broadcast things to the world.The live audio stream is kind of hard to access, so I will try to explain how to do it. Go to www.rhodesradio.org. At the bottom of the screen are posted several different audio players. Click on the play you use most often. Make sure you save the file to your desktop. To access the radio, then, right-click on the file on your desktop and drag your mouse over the "open with" option. Then select your player. When you do this one time, it should save it in your library so that you can continue the stream whenever you wish. Hopefully they can make this process a little easier soon.
