A lot of people like to listen to something while they’re working, studying, driving, or exercising. I’m not one of these people, but when I do listen to something, I prefer to be a passive listener. That’s why I like the radio. Unfortunately, there’s a lot of crap on the radio. The Internet is full of great “radio” stations, but discovery can be a pain. TuneIn is a Palo Alto, CA based company that “enables people to discover, follow, and listen to what’s most important to them — from sports, to news, to music, to talk.” They offer access to more than 100,000 live radio stations and 4 million podcasts. They have 50 million users, which seems pretty big considering that I hadn’t heard of them before.

Don’t Tune Out

Every day there is far more online content available than there was the day before. I can’t imagine that this will stop anytime in the near future. As the depth of content available continues to grow, curation and discovery will become even bigger buzzwords. If you can help people find quality amid all of the quantity, you’ll get attention. That’s exactly what TuneIn does, and this allows them to “connect consumers with premium audio content and brands with quality audiences.” Yes, advertising is the business model. Makes sense, right? Anyway, check out TuneIn for yourself, and if you like it, visit their Careers page. Right now they’re looking for an Associate Editor – Chinese, a Content Operations Associate, an iOS Software Engineer, a Copywriter, and a Product Manager.
