WNYC Studios is a leading producer of premier audio content and the creative force behind some of the most innovative and popular podcasts including Radiolab, 2 Dope Queens, and Freakonomics Radio. It’s also found ways to engage and activate audiences beyond their earbuds; techniques that create richer lives, lasting relationships, and social change. Visit the company's HQ to learn some of those lessons with Manoush Zomorodi of Note to Self, John Keefe of WNYC’s highly lauded Data News unit, sound designer Alex Overington of the Peabody Award–winning podcast Meet the Composer, and chief content officer Dean Cappello. In a highly interactive evening, you’ll hear how text messaging fueled tens of thousands of people to participate in digital detox, how WNYC tracked the return of the cicadas and excessive heat in NYC apartments using the crowd and some sensors, and more. Plus, take part in the real-time, audience-generated creation of a theme song with WNYC's own in-house composer.
