This podcast series was created by students in my Winter 2012 Internet Culture in the Information Society course. The students visited public places in the San Francisco Bay Area and used their smart phones to orally record what they were thinking and seeing. The students then edited podcasts from their recordings and wrote hypertexts about social or community issues related to the places they documented. Finally, they embedded the podcasts in their hypertexts. Links to most of these hypertexts are available on a custom Google Map.
This project was inspired by the atlas of radio scripts at the California Legacy Project. CLP director Terry Beers and I presented on our projects at a session of the 2012 Computers and Writing conference. Moe Folk wrote an interactive review of the session.
