GeckoRadio PPR

Personal Public Radio (PPR)

You may have heard of National Public Radio or Public Radio International, but Personal Public Radio (PPR) is a new concept to create your own internet radio station.

2Geckos has developed a technique that programs your Personal Public Radio from freely available sources to personalize how you listen to the news.

Sources such as NPR Morning Edition, Paul Harvey new and commentary, Earth & Sky, Australian Broadcasting Radio, BBC World Service, etc. The currently available subscription contains 45 sources of news, sports, science, health issues, and international broadcasts and hundreds of topics in all languages.

News stories are in 3 time categories; 3 to 7 minutes, 8 to 30 minutes, or streaming audio.

And since no one wants to only listen to the news, each news story is alternated with music from your local playlist and other commentaries.

This will be an internet based player but will have a small application loaded locally to allow users to build custom news & music playlists.   We will soon be accepting beta testers for GeckoRadio, if you are interested please check the GeckoRadio box in the form at the bottom of this page.
