Holy shit, we got 97 submissions from 15 countries for Audio Flux Circuit 07! 97 climate stories inspired by the theme "Trash or Treasure" and incoprorating 97 different found objects. Behold!
We'll share our twelve finalists soon enough. In the meantime let your ears' imagination run wild ⬇️
⏳ One week* left to submit a 3min fluxwork for Circuit 07! ⏳

The best thing about my job hosting Sound School is talking w/ smart people producing creative stories. Like on the latest ep. @jatomic.bsky.social & John Delore dive deep into how they brought @audioflux.bsky.social from idea to podcast. @prx.org @transom.bsky.social
Missed our Ask Us Anything about Circuit 07 earlier this week? Thanks to @airmedia.bsky.social you can catch up, here:

Great fun to guest on a couple podcasts recently and talk about sound, listening, collaborating & Audio Flux (Phantom Power) and listening, pets, TimTam & Audio Flux (Furball Confidential). Both eps are out now, and perfectly timed for me to plug @audioflux.bsky.social Circuit 07, too. 🙌
Circuit 07: Trash or Treasure is ON! And this time, along with our partners Cyrus Kabiru and @radioworkshop.bsky.social we're inviting 3-minute audio stories of all stripes about the CLIMATE. Yep, we're going there. And you should too! Read all about it & how to submit: www.audioflux.org/circuit07
Blizzard, shmizzard! On Air Fest here we come, and everyone else… here comes Circuit 07 💥
(Friday… watch this space!!)
We do not disagree! Thanks Alasdair, and maybe you’ll feel like making a fluxwork for Circuit 07? Announcing Friday!!
Thanks to @99pi.org I just found @audioflux.bsky.social and I feel like every narrative podcaster I know should go take a look.
Psst! We're one week out from announcing Circuit 07 (in partnership with the mighty @radioworkshop.bsky.social) far and wide, on the heels of revealing details in an intimate room full of audiophiles at the On Air Fest (2/25). If you'll be there, do say hello ✨ www.onairpresents.com/onairfestbro...
Circuit 07 is around the corner! First we'll announce at On Air on Feb 25, then everywhere else Feb 27. And thanks to @airmedia.bsky.social we're hosting another ASK US ANYTHING. Free, fun, will (we hope) inspire you to flux with us for Circuit 07.
RSVP here: airmedia.org/jobs/trainin...
So sorry to hear this, Will. We’re glad you had each other.
We have lift-off! Of Circuit 07, with our commissioned producers, that is.
We'll reveal the theme & prompts to the world Feb 25 at On Air & on our website Feb 27th. For now, check out this crew: Team AF, Team @radioworkshop.bsky.social, 4 producers & our creative partner (to be revealed later) 🙌
Podcasts don't have to be long-form documentary style stories that hold you over on long commutes. In fact, they can be so much more.
Audio Flux is showing exactly how.
