About Us
Orange Lounge Radio
Orange Lounge Radio is an online radio station dedicated to Video Gaming. Our
station features a large library of Bemani and other video game music. Twenty-Four
hours a day, Seven days a week you can hear Orange Lounge Radio broadcast all of
this great music on a non-stop stream. Our stream is dial-up friendly which means
even users on a 56.6k modem can listen to the station. Using a codec known as
mp3PRO, listeners on a dialup stream can experience DSL quality radio in full stereo
sound. However Orange Lounge Radio is most famous for it's live programming,
Orange Lounge Radio Live and it's podcast, Orange Lounge TO-GO.
Orange Lounge Radio's Live Programming
Orange Lounge Radio Live is our flagship show which launched the station back in
June of 2001. It's a 3 hour talk program dedicated to all things Bemani and then
some. It's hosted by Bemani veterans DarkSakura, skie and Loki. The concept of the
show is to talk about those things you talk about when you and a group of friends go
out to play video games: You talk about the games, what's new and interesting with
them and then conversation transitions into those many other random things that
effect our lives. The only way to really experience this show is to tune in Sunday
nights at 6:30 Pacific Standard Time
In the summer of 2003, Orange Lounge Radio began expanding it's live
programming to include new shows such as "Pump Up the Volume" and "Outside
The Box". These shows just expand on our principle of bringing you great gaming
related live and interactive content.
The Orange Lounge Radio Podcast
The Orange Lounge Radio Podcast is essentially two hours of the live show, as hosted by DarkSakura, skie & Loki, the same folks that bring you Orange Lounge Radio LIVE every Sunday night on Orange Lounge Radio. This podcast is updated twice a week (Monday morning and Wednesday morning), the first part being the first hour of the live show, and the second update being the second hour of the live show.
What is Podcasting?
To put it simply, Podcasting is a type of "audio blog". It allows you to subscribe to our show, and then when new shows are
completed, the podcast will be updated. If you are subscribed to the podcast, the show will automatically download onto your
computer. If you have an mp3 player (the most popular being the iPod), then your player can automatically be updated with the
new program. Imagine-- just hook your iPod up to your computer when you go to sleep, and when you wake up, there will be a
new episode of our show waiting for you to listen to in the car, at work, or at the gym. This technology allows us to try many new
& experimental things that we are excited to bring you on orangeloungeradio.com. For more information on Podcasting, visit

Do I have to have an iPod to hear the show?
NO! It's called a "Podcast" because the iPod happens to be a popular way to listen to music on the go. However, you can easily
download the shows for use on your normal desktop PC through your standard MP3 player such as iTunes or Winamp or on your PSP. In fact,
for those using a player with the mp3pro codec installed, this program is encoded in mp3pro quality, just like our normal
live365 stream, for enhanced sound quality! If you have a PSP with the 2.0 firmware you can visit our Podcast page to download a podcast and listen now on your PSP.
