Calling all Masochists!

Written by Brett Callow on February 26, 2009

Does the spam that arrives in your inbox not cause you enough pain? Does it leave you feeling short-changed and craving for more? Then SpamRadio may be the solution! Here’s how it works (from the SpamRadio website):

  • Junk email arrives at our mail server, causing the wheels of spamradio to begin turning
    The junk mail is processed, taking care to break various MIME encodings and HTML formatted text into plain text.
  • The plain text file is then split into smaller chunks and fed through a text-to-speech engine. This yields a number of small audio files.
  • The audio files are assembled into one large file, and the resulting sound wave is mixed with the background music.
  • The final output is then encoded using mp3 and inserted into the live audio stream.

Enjoy!
