The free form wildness that is ds106 radio includes several live broadcasts with Moms…

ds106 is an open course on digital storytelling originating at the University of Mary Washington, but open to anyone else crazy enough to play. An organic development has been the integration of a web based open radio station (streaming audio) where people can both contribute audio for the AutoDJ rotation oir break in with live broadcasts.
While visiting my Mom in Florida, I cajoled her into telling me stories in front of the computer– I was not exactly clear that I would be broadcasting it live…
Okay, I am going to talk my Mom into tell some #ds106radio stories live at 4pm. I dont think she understands the concept….

Our ds106 radio correspondent from Japan, Scott Lo, had shared early reports of the big March 2011 earthquake, and later live streamed a skype call to his Mom in Oregon, their first conversation after the event.
