Carl's take on the magic of radio
Carl Gruen has been one of the leading voices on Australia128 for a few years now. His warm calming voice is familiar to many of the station’s listeners, and he believes everyone should have access to non-intrusive, professional and high-quality radio.
From introducing new indie bands and albums to mixing up cultures and introducing music from other language areas, Carl brings a calm vibe to your radio receiver on Australia128.
In this audio vignette, Carl explains the essence of Poddio in his own words. The new way to build and manage your own custom radio station as an organisation, anywhere on the planet, with a full professional setup and stream quality.
Ethical AI
Ethical AI starts here at Poddio. Our sound producers have embraced generative AI since day 1, using their expertise to create unique vocal patterns and audio samples.
The latest tools allow us to create, finetune and develop the sound of our presenters so they bring a unique auditory footprint to your radio station. Creating unique radio voices doesn’t just happen by prompting an AI. It is the result of years of research into various subspecialty areas related to radio production and broadcasting.
Radio truly connects aligned people 24/7
The story of a radio station
Carl Gruen and Australia128 share a common history of independent radio programming since 2009. Radio stations in different countries have adopted the American formatted approach: researching the most wanted tracks and playing them in hot rotations, depending on classification systems.
Carl and the team at Australia128 have embraced an independent view on music programming since day 1 at the “Indie Vibes Only” station. Going against trends and commercial frameworks that other radios had to embrace to survive.
The story is based on avoiding overhead costs in areas that can be optimised: studio setup, production of shows and sonic branding, as well as online marketing.
The story of Australia128, born on the Radionomy platform and now streaming on MyTuner and Simple Radio, is a true pioneering story carried by a relentless passion for quality radio.
