Abstract: Systems and methods are provided for sharing media content through websites and mobile applications to connect individuals worldwide by providing an ability for individuals to create, share and listen to one or more of audio, digital, and/or visual broadcasts from around the world. The systems and methods for sharing media content provide an online platform environment for receiving requests from a client side application or hardware, such as received from a mobile application or website, and for transmitting data by a server side application or hardware, related to the received media content. The systems and methods implement a hands-free social media experience in the online platform environment that enables access to audio broadcasts through a network. The mobile application also has an advertising component where a user can record an advertisement or dedication and calendar the recorded advertisement or dedication into a broadcast schedule of the user's choosing.
