Backdoor Broadcasting Company - webcasting academic conferences, etc.

About the Backdoor Broadcasting Company: "The Backdoor Broadcasting Company’s Academic Service specializes in web-casting academic conferences, symposia, public lectures, workshops and seminars in order to further the dissemination of academic research. To make this service as cheap and as efficient as possible, we broadcast audio (sound) only, and with limited interactivity. Primarily we broadcast a conference/event live, we record it and make it available for download. Every event will have its dedicated webpage with supporting information and text, as well as contacts and links to the contributors. Additional features such as e-mail correspondence or discussion forums can easily be added. We can broadcast any size event, from single lectures to parallel multi-panel conferences. As a service provider, we are hired by the conference/event organisers and are free to the listener. After the live broadcast all contributions will be placed in our archive, which is accessible as a free internet resource. Our main aim is to assist with the dissemination of research."
