Osolia Public Radio, sometimes referred to by its acronym OPR, is a public radio network ran by Michael Webb. It has a voice channel in the Osolia Discord server that plays a music playlist 24/7 that has been added to by the community over time, a DJ style request show called The DJ Hour, hosted by OPR owner Michael Webb, and a newer show called Vinyl Vantage, hosted by Josephine.
History
Founding
Soon after Osolia's founding on December 15, 2023, discussion ramped up in Osolia about creating a public radio station that could host various shows and build community. For instance, it was proposed that businesses could sponsor radio shows to promote the economy. The main two discussing Osolia Radio at the time were Michael Webb and tz_scion, who still are the main two people running OPR to this day. On January 2, 2024, tz_scion, who was Speaker at the time, decided to propose a measure to the Assembly that would add Jockie Music to the server, allowing Osolia Radio to use it. The vote passed on January 4, 2024 with 6 yes, 0 no, and 5 abstain votes, and the bot was added, officially creating Osolia Public Radio in the process.
Michael Webb would take the reins of creating this radio station, and therefore got to own the station itself. He immediately asked Osolians to add music to the Regular Programming playlist, a collection of songs that would shuffle and play 24/7 using the Jockie Music bot. Hundreds of songs were added over the next several days.
Creation of The DJ Hour
On January 8, 2024, Michael Webb announced the creation of the first radio show for Osolia Public Radio; The DJ Hour, at the time titled The DJ Hour w/ Chief Michael Webb. The first episode of The DJ Hour w/ Chief Michael Webb would air later that day at 6:00 PM Central Time, and it was seen as a great success for a brand new show on a brand new radio concept for the Osolia community at the time.
Since that time, The DJ Hour has had over 12 episodes and has steadily climbed in the average number of listeners per episode.
Creation of Vinyl Vantage
On September 8th, 2024, Josephine had the idea to create her own radio program while listening to an episode of The DJ Hour. She immediately messaged Michael Webb, the owner of OPR, with her idea and the two workshopped it into Vinyl Vantage. The show initially intended to focus entirely on heavy metal, but the show was broadened to focus on all classic rock music.
With this in mind, a poll was conducted that evening which informed Josephine and Webb that five people were interested in listening, and a further three supported its existence. As of September 11, 2024, Vinyl Vantage has yet to premiere its pilot episode.
Lineup
Osolia Public Radio currently has two regular pieces of content, and is in the process of launching a third.
