I don't know how many here are old enough that in the past they used to listen to talk radio. I am 65, and did so and I miss the old days of the Art Bell show and some others.

However radio doesn't have enough audience these days to sustain such a show economically, much of the audience has gone to the web.

I got to thinking how could we bring this sort of thing to the web, we have blogs, but they are one-way except live blogging allows for real time comments, but it is nothing like talk radio used to be where you could have a host in one location, a guest in another, and callers calling in from all over the world and people listing from all over.

I can envision a web application that could so something better but I don't have the coding skills to pull it off, so thought I would describe my idea and see if anybody else there feels it might be worth pursuing.

My idea is to have something like Zoom, except on the viewers in it has the ability to have infinite number of people watching, something that on the output side can work with a cdn so that it can be widely distributed.

Then there would be one or two main windows (host or host+guest), and a number of small windows on the side (callers queued) and when they come on they'd get a slightly larger screen to distinguish them being live from those in queue, and the host would have the ability to make them full screen if they had something to show or visually share and the host would also be able to full-screen the guest in that event.

Ideally, this would be entirely browser based and not require an "app".
