If there is one thing I like about my job as a web designer and developer, it is that every day is different and presents new challenges that you don't expect, which help you grow professionally.
I was recently presented with one of these challenges. Something I had never done before a few months ago, but when I was asked, I was so excited about the idea and wanted to find out how this could be done that I didn't hesitate for a moment to agree to do it.
This challenge was none other than making an online radio with WordPress.
As I was saying, this was something I had never put into url=https://telemadata.com/czech-republic-telegram-data]czech republic telegram lead[/url] before, and after telling my client that it was going to be my first time in these parts, putting an online radio station on the air (I like to do this in these cases because I don't want to or like to act like an expert or a "smart guy" in something I've never implemented), I got to work gathering all the information possible on how to make an online radio station with WordPress .
Today, with this client's website already finished and the radio station broadcasting reliably and securely for several months, I want to share with you how this can be done.
Let's get started!

How to make an online radio with WordPress? Prerequisites and necessary tools
First of all, like good chefs, we must prepare the ingredients necessary to carry out our “recipe”.

When creating an online radio, we will need the following elements:
A computer that collects the audio from our radio broadcast.
An external radio server that will broadcast our signal stably over the Internet.
An online radio broadcasting program to create the mounting point of our radio on our PC and send it to our server.
A plugin to insert your online radio into WordPress , although this is not essential since a simple player can also be inserted using HTML code.
In principle, nothing else would be necessary. I assure you that it is not that big of a deal, don't be scared by the names and technicalities.
