I'm trying to find websites that have celtic/irish/renaissance fesitval music or podcasts streaming for free. The issue is, my new job has these web blockers that block all websites with streaming media. I've bypassed it a few times, but I'm not out of resources of sites to try. The website for the most part can't say 'podcast' or anything.
Does anyone have any helpful websites that I could venture to in order to help solve my lack of music at work. I used to love Marc Gunn's podcasts, but I can't access most of them at this job. :(
Any help would be apprecaited.
THanks,
Ash
This may not be what you're looking for but I use a free internet radio player I downloaded to get music at work. Go to www.radiosure.com for the download then once installed, you can search for all kinds of free streaming radio stations by genre or name and save your favorites. The app also has a stream ripper so you can record what you're listening to. Best of all, it doesn't tie up your browser. I've been using it for about a year and have no complaints. I'm not sure it will help you with podcasts but at least you'll have music!
have you tried going through a proxy service?
For instance, try http://hidemyass.com/ (http://hidemyass.com/)
Just some friendly advice: I'm an IT professional at my company, and usually if you're caught trying to bypass any kind of filter its grounds for immediate termination. Listening to some streaming music online probably isn't worth it.
If I were you, I'd download the mp3's of whatever you're trying to listen to via bittorrent, and load them on an mp3 player or cd to listen to at work.
