The ability to listen to your favorite shows and music whenever you want is the central tenet of “non-linear” audio like #podcasts, #music on digital services, etc. We’ve talked a lot about #radio repurposing streams as podcasts to reach more people who listen that way -- what’s known as “broadcast-to-podcast." As we’re in the business of offering audio publishers?access to as many technology options as possible to help them grow,?it made sense for us to develop more on-demand functionality for streaming too. Say hello to Live Stream Replay. Read our short post about it here: ?? ?? ?? https://lnkd.in/ee6bRbgJ Listening whenever you want – it’s not just for podcasts anymore. #audiosimplified #BadAaaS #streamingaudio #digitalaudio #streaming?

Incredible week in NYC! For us, the high point was our standing-room-only panel with Ira Glass, creator and host of the celebrated This American Life, and NPR’s longstanding leader of Sponsorship, Scott Davis. Rockie Thomas led the conversation that was built off of a fundamental question: to what degree does a #podcast / #radio host – in this case, of a show that set the course for modern audio storytelling -- concern himself with the business mechanics of podcasting? And by that same token, how much do sales leaders invest their time in the story? Does it matter? Check our SHORT WRAP-UP HERE and look for video shortly ?? ?? ?? ?https://lnkd.in/eDtX-R-V Big thanks again to the folks at Advertising Week (Ruth Mortimer, Matt Scheckner, Richard Larsson and many more), Devon Landis, Seth Lind and the rest of our friends at This American Life and NPR.
