How to Launch an Online Radio Station with AI, Soul, and a Professional Presence
Presentation of the Series
This book — or this article series, depending how you read it — was created with a clear goal: to show that launching a professional, coherent, and personality-driven online radio station is not only possible, but accessible.
But don’t expect miracle recipes or tool lists that promise to do the job for you. This is about real radio. About media. About projects that are built with thought, intention, and — most importantly — soul.
In a time of automation, synthetic voices, and platforms that promise to do everything for you, this project offers the opposite: a moment to stop and think before hitting “play”. Because a station doesn’t start when you click “broadcast”. It starts long before — when you ask yourself what you want to say, how you want to sound, and why you deserve a place on the digital dial.
How Are These Articles Organized?
Each chapter is an independent unit. You don’t need to read the previous one to understand the next. They stand on their own, designed so you can consult them individually — or read them in sequence for a more complete overview.
They all follow a consistent structure so you get something concrete every time:
- Theoretical and Reflective Section:
We explore each topic in depth, but without empty jargon. We talk about ideas, processes, structure, and real decisions — always from professional experience and with a critical yet constructive view.
- Practical Exercise:
Understanding is not enough — you need to take action. At the end of each chapter, you’ll find a proposed activity. Something you can apply right away, without fancy tools. Because learning by doing is still the best school.
- AI Hack:
Artificial intelligence can be a valuable ally — if used wisely. Every chapter includes an AI Hack: a specific tip, prompt, or tool to support part of the process. AI won’t make the radio for you — but it can help you make it better, faster, and with more clarity.
Who Is This For?
For those who feel that radio is more than just a channel.
For those who dream of launching their own station but don’t know where to start.
For those already broadcasting but looking to level up professionally.
And for those who’ve never done radio — but wonder if they could, in their own way, with their voice, from home, but with a professional presence.
Because today, more than ever, the medium is in your hands.
And what you do with it… is up to you.
