*Broadcaster:
A radio personality (also known as a radio host or a radio presenter) is a person with an on-air position in radio broadcasting. A radio personality can be someone who introduces and discusses various genres of music, hosts a talk show that may take calls from listeners, or someone whose primary responsibility is to give news, weather, sports or traffic information. Professional radio personalities don't usually stay at one station for their entire career; instead, they move up and on to stations within their broadcast area or those out of town. For talk radio hosts, and many other kinds of radio personality, the highest achievement in radio is national syndication.
Oddly, according to most experienced broadcasters, radio personalities become better known in a community than personalities of other media outlets. It's surmised that the intimacy created between the radio personality and the driver and passengers of a car impacts the listener in an unusual way, although no scientific studies are know to have been made on this subject. More radio personalities are sought to make personal appearances at local functions and commercial venues than those from other media, according to Ad Age Magazine.
Sometimes frequent callers to Talk radio programs become radio personalities by default due to multiple exposure to a specific audience. Some of those callers known in the industry as "chronics", such as Lionel, are so good that station management offers them their own show.
In the 1990s, with the rise of talk-oriented radio personalities like Howard Stern and Rush Limbaugh, successful radio stations began to focus less on the musical expertise of their hosts and more on the individual hosts' personalities. Since the term disk jockey has also become commonly used to refer to a club DJ, the term "radio personality" has become more appropriate for hosts of radio shows.
*Musical artist:
A musician is a person who plays or writes music. Musicians can be classified by their roles in creating or performing music:
- An instrumentalist plays a musical instrument.
- A singer (or vocalist) uses his/her voice as her instrument. For example Tuffhouse Tae, a Hip/Hop artiist who makes his own beats and records over them. Myspace.com/tuffhouset.
- Composers, arrangers and songwriters memorize and orally teach, or record their compositions in the form of traditional notation or audio recording.
- A conductor leads a musical ensemble. A conductor can simultaneously act as an instrumentalist in the ensemble.
A musician can be self-taught, or learned by formal education in a conservatory or by a private instructor or a guru.
Musicians can be amateur or professional. The meaning of these terms is, however, somewhat diffuse. Musicians have varying levels of activity and ambition in music, which often makes music both a hobby and a profession. Many professional musicians define the core of their musicianship as a state of "being married" to music, which suggests an active and progressive relationship even and especially after finishing formal education.
A professional musician is, however, usually defined as one who is paid to perform, compose or act in any other productive manner related to music, and whose main source of income is this activity. Professional musicians may work freelance, enter into a contract with a studio or record label, be employed by a professional ensemble such as a symphony orchestra or big band, or by an institution such as a church or business (such as a jazz club or a bar). A musician who earns money by selling sound recordings is called a recording artist.
The concept and the status of the musician in society varies widely, depending on sociological, cultural, and economic factors.

*Station/Podcast site:
A podcast is a series of audio or video digital-media files which is distributed over the Internet by syndicated download, through Web feeds, to portable media players and personal computers. Though the same content may also be made available by direct download or streaming, a podcast is distinguished from other digital-media formats by its ability to be syndicated, subscribed to, and downloaded automatically when new content is added.
Like the term broadcast, podcast can refer either to the series of content itself or to the method by which it is syndicated; the latter is also called podcasting. The host or author of a podcast is often called a podcaster. One of the first broadcasts was sent out by a small radio station in Surrey by radio DJ Kelly Coulter.
The term is a portmanteau of the words "iPod" and "broadcast",[1] the Apple iPod being the brand of portable media player for which the first podcasting scripts were developed (see history of podcasting). Such scripts allow podcasts to be automatically transferred from a personal computer to a mobile device after they are downloaded.[2] As more devices other than iPods became able to synchronize with podcast feeds, the term was redefined by some parties as a backronym for "Personal On Demand broadCASTING".[3][4][5]
