 This is in line with the origins of Chautauqua. Although speakers were regarded as its "backbone", half of a traditional Chautauqua was musical performance. For us to fill the e-chautauqua shoes we needed to lay down a 'critical mass' of musical material. radio-tom.com fills that role in the e-chautauqua and now has over 70 songs - enough material to be termed an internet radio resource. For some of the songs ours is the only full version readily-available.

 Ours has the superficially more modest goal of helping people appreciate what they can actually expect to see with a telescope, instead of sci-fi images. However, the actual views are in many ways more astounding if one can grasp what it is we are '''not''' seeing -ie- we live inside a galaxy yet it is so vast we can barely see it except on a cloudless moonless country night. Time-exposed Hubble Space Telescope images give a totally artificial view.

 The Web has now made it possible to set up not just one's own radio show but an entire station. What takes their station beyond even nationally-syndicated traditional radio is the potential to broadcast to the entire planet, combine print and images, and harness for free the resources of the greatest public relations advertising network the world has ever known - the search engines.
 Creative Commons is well-known in education circles. Students are taught from an early age to respect copyright. However, the Web has provided vast amounts of public domain material that can enhance a podcast.
 Tom and Margaret have been quite active in Sydney karaoke. Some of the e-chautauqua links are to our www.kara-oke.com site. Many karaoke enthusiasts think mistakenly that they can put their performances up on the web, only to get a rude shock letter from a copyright holder or authority. Our use of public domain songs demonstrates an alternate route. Sure, the songs are 100 years old but to a real karaoke enthusiast that's part of the challenge and fun - to breathe new life into an old dead tune.
