Repost: How are you doing project

An enterprising Young, Laura Mayer, has a very simple audio project where she publicizes a 1-800 number and asks people to call in and tell her how they are doing. It’s sort of like audio therapy and it’s fun number to call when you’re killing time, say waiting for a plane or standing at the bus stop. Or, it’s an “exercise in everyday empathy,” as the website says.

Listen in at HowAreYouDoingProject.com and also find the number so you can contribute! You can also check out an interview with Laura at Third Coast, where they just featured her work.

RadioLingual

I just got back from the National Federation of Community Broadcasters conference in Portland and I have to show you guys this project I heard about there.

It is called RadioLingual, a Seattle-based multimedia project found in translation.

These two people from Seattle use a new tool that Google is coming out with called Google Voice , where you can record phone calls online.

What they do is they ask people a question, like, "What does it mean to open up a can of worms?" And then have people call in answers using the Internet. Last, they compile the answers into a radio piece.

Check it out!
