Love this idea. You could probably do something interesting with geolocation tracking to unlock the audio… equally, not everything needs a tech layer. Conflicted!

To answer a few questions, it should take about an hour to walk, and is free (with a suggested donation of $10). It is also part 1 of a planned 5 parts, the next which will ideally be released in the spring. Thanks!

A real blind spot imo

Bari Weiss introduced herself to CBS News staff today on the network's 9AM call, saying she wants to "win," which requires restoring trust to CBS. She also said she was excited for staff to get to know the Free Press, and ended her remarks by saying: "Let's do the fucking news."

Okay, put together the final website and video edits for Part 1 of Loops, a walking audio story through Prospect Park, partially funded with a grant by the Brooklyn Arts Council. This is gonna take me years lol. Here again is the teaser trailer.
