Radio & Podcast News
Back in 2017, we introduced our radio section, which eventually evolved into today's Radio & Podcast section. We've steadily improved it over the years while greatly expanding the number of quality shows we present. There's a little something for everyone, and our affiliated hosts do a fantastic job with their respective programs.If you're a regular listener, we have some good news. Yesterday, we added a feature that lets you select your favorite show and have its most recent program or episode appear directly on your member page. Just choose your favorite show from your Member Settings, and we'll automatically present its latest episode on your member page.
And we're not done yet. Soon, we'll spin off the Radio & Podcast portion of the AAJ newsletter into a dedicated newsletter of its own, along with a significant facelift to the section itself. We're also experimenting with something we're particularly excited about: anchoring your favorite show to the navigation bar so you can keep listening as you move from page to page on All About Jazz. The trick is keeping the show playing continuously while you browse. We'll soon find out what's possible, but we're hopeful.
By Jazz Fans, For Jazz Fans, How All About Jazz Works
Over the years, I've discovered that even people who know All About Jazz well don't always understand how it works—or what exactly I do behind the scenes. That's understandable. There's a lot more happening here than what you see on the surface. So I decided the time was right to pull back the curtain and explain how AAJ works, how all the pieces fit together, and what I do as its architect and builder.
