The storytelling site Broadcastr launched an Android app this morning, allowing writers to record three-minute audio stories on a smartphone and link the recording to a specific location–like Foursquare for storytellers.
Follow this link to see the free app in the App Store. If you want to see how it works, this GalleyCat editor once recorded a one-minute meditation on the gloomy weather, Charlie Sheen, and pulp fiction writing economy. Electric Literature c0-founders Andy Hunter and Scott Lindenbaum introduced the storytelling site at the eBook Summit last year.
Check it out: “Broadcastr is a new social-media platform for location-based audio. Our free app lets people easily create and share recordings on an interactive map, and, through our Geoplay feature, mobile users can have audio about their immediate surroundings automatically streamed into their headphones.”
