Free Morning Show Radio Automation Software

by Justin Kaiser - Broadcast Mastery

I received an e-mail from a of mine, Darren Marlar asking about software options to bring his on the road.  Darren does a top rated show for 101-QFL in Rockford, IL and is a very funny family friendly comedian.  He wanted to know if there is a program that is free or low-cost to set up on a laptop and use to fire off sound effects on the air at the click of a mouse?

Good luck Darren and thanks for providing a great show!

Here to Help!
