Nfi why? It is literally blasted out into space for anyone with a receiver to hear but now unless I want to spend 2 gigs of ram and a CPU core I can’t listen on a computer.
Why lock down public radio? What possible state interest does that serve?

Gee whiz you seem empassioned by this. Ok, so as a taxpayer and a funder of a public service, I’d like elements of the service to be held accountable by key performance indicators. Obviously a fairly clear indicator would usually be reach/ viewership. Do you have any alternatives ? I’m not sure what pod people are?
Here are some:
Surveys, very old technology, worked for 100 years. Know how statistics work? You can survey x from X and generalise any x’ from X within known confidence intervals.
Voluntary tracking: Ask users if they would be ok making an account. Consent, it’s good in more situations than the bedroom
Track IPs. You own the server that is issuing the streams, IPs can be broadly associated with areas. Pretty good stats. Some people forward streams or use VPNs? statistical noise who cares.
btw it would have been faster to look up pod people than write about your ignorance.
