Audio Hackathon!
Audio storytelling is growing incredibly quickly. 46 million Americans listen to at least one podcast a month—17% of Americans. More and more exciting, innovative podcasts are being made every month. Quality content deserves quality technology. This American Life invited developers, coders, designers, producers, sound designers...anyone who has skills and ideas to offer to join us. We grouped them into teams, and after introductory talks by audio professionals, they participated in a two-day hackathon.
