Take a break with the Radiophonic Travel Agency Posted by
16 Dec 2020
The New BBC Radiophonic Workshop has been working on a novel interactive audio and visual experience - the Radiophonic Travel Agency. It’s available to try on the BBC Radio 4 Today programme website. The experience is built with BBC Research & Development’s StoryKit - a collection of tools covering the authoring, playback, and sharing of interactive and personalised experiences.
At a time when we’ve been unable to travel, the Radiophonic Travel Agency will transport you to different destinations through the evocative power of sound. Just as you would if you were making a trip for real, you experience the journey AND the destination. I don’t want to give away too much, but when you hop on to the Tube to get to the airport, I challenge you not to recall the zone smell of the London Underground as you listen.
