We talk about data visualizations, but what about audio? @CIRonline turned data into music. Beautiful and striking.

Deeply important point from @heathr: social isn't about marketing. Social allows us to have real relationships with our audiences.

I love that @CBCRadioCanada is surfacing content from their archives that goes back to the 30s. @BBCiPlayer, pay attention.

DRM is a collective delusion that is usefully perpetuated to solve contract requirements.

A quick reminder: DRM actually doesn't work. There is no definitive way to stop people from stealing your content.

Hearing from @CBCRadioCanada about how they put together themed playlists to surface content. @Wavelist can help with this!

Pro podcasters often use the same $3K microphone. It would be awesome if an app could help record audio at an accessible price.

Cool! @PodClearTweets automates creating "double-ender" interviews, where each participant records audio locally.

.@PodClearTweets helps you record podcast interviews with studio quality sound. This is important: studio tech is expensive.

I've been using and enjoying the @audiosearchfm API. Genuinely a great source of intelligence for any podcast app.

Radio stations have vital, unbreakable infrastructure for disaster info, says @jejohnson322. Apps need to also serve this need.

I agree that algorithms alone are not great mechanisms for discovery. Very human, social activity is far more insightful.

"There is an algorithm fetish that drives listening sometimes" that leads to awkward, jarring experiences. @HennsEggs

"A podcasting network that thinks of itself as an operating system [...] is so much bigger than radio." - @HennsEggs. We agree.

On public media apps: "One of the things we'd really like is to raise money directly." - @HennsEggs (cc @HuzzaApp)

"Who listened to the radio on the way in?" Basically nobody raises their hand. Reminder: we are at @KQED with a media audience.

What if public underwriting was clickable? What if listeners could donate to public media while they streamed? @HennsEggs

.@HennsEggs: We need to build an app that supports member stations & unlocks untapped audio content. Argues techies aren't aware.

.@HennsEggs: Public media orgs have a byzantine governance model and business model. Podcasts feel like an existential threat.
