How can the whole world listen to Internet radio or are there peer-to-peer podcasting protocols?

Question

Computer networks

Particular formulation of the problem: I'm trying to listen to the Echo of Moscow via the Internet ( echo.msk.ru/sound.html - to choose from), but there are many people who want to listen, so I can't listen during interesting programs, it lags terribly (although I listen from abroad, perhaps in Russia everything is different). Therefore, a private question is how to listen to the Echo "without a single gap" and in real time?
And, if someone from Echo reads my question: my dears, well, please, please, make servers that can cope with peak load.
The general formulation of the problem: should there be peer-to-peer podcasting protocols? If not, then keep the idea.

Answer 1

I can suggest words for googling : PeerCast,
Tribler ,
BTStream does not have. If everything is bad at all, then you can look towards WebSDR

Answer 2

If you need to provide multiple connections within the same organization/subnet, consider relaying.
For example, Icecast does a great job with this:

Answer 3

A private problem: if you can wait 10-15 minutes, then you can listen through moskva.fm, if not, then only repeaters.
A common problem: if the same uTorrent allows you to watch videos online by simply downloading a torrent in a row, then the same thing can, I think, with audio. In addition, some version of Flash Player has a built-in p2p-broadcasting module. You could try watching VKontakte videos for a while, station.ru also allows you to listen to RMG radio stations via Flash P2P.
