Tired of using the Internet as a visual medium
only? A San Francisco-based gay and lesbian
radio show may have solved that problem for
’Net surfers everywhere. Hibernia Beach, a com
mercial radio program broadcast on "Live 105,”
a Bay-area rock station in operation since Octo
ber 1989, can now be heard on the Internet. The
audio “netcast” is made possible by “TrueSpeech,”
a software program developed by DSP Group
Inc., a Bay-area firm, reports The Washington
Blade.
The new technology, is called "audio in de
mand.” The software compresses speech over 10
times, and one can listen to the program as it is
being downloaded. Users will also be able to
listen to Hibernia Beach in the background while
visiting other Internet sites. Currently, only those
with an IBM compatible computer running Win
dows with a sound card can access all features of
the program. Mac users can access the text, but
not the sound.
To reach Hibernia Beach, users should enter
the ’ Net through their service provider and access
the Hibernia Beach Web site at http://hooked.net/
glean. Download the TrueSpeech Player soft
ware from the menu, pick a file and play it.

work.

Lesbian- and gay-owned businesses are sky
rocketing, according to a report by Success Ven

spokesman for the firm, Jonathan Crew, said that
more gay and lesbian businesses have opened in

years, according to a report in the Kansas City

Crew said the study shows many of the new
businesses are started by partners. Many of the
businesses provide business products and ser
