Yep, this year we will hit the Mobile Moment.. -
“The global count of active mobile subscriptions reached 6.7 Billion at the end of 2012, and yes, this summer we will hit the ‘mobile moment’ ie that point in time when for the first time ever on this planet, a consumer technology will match the human population in size. The planet has 7.1 Billion people and as we grew subscriptions 14% last year, its rather clear we will hit that 7.1 Billion number around the summer of 2013.”

“During the last three years of our run, we made some spectacular radio. This is the behind the scenes story of the show, and how we eventually developed a method, a technique, a….craft, that raised the simple long-form interview to something greater. We called it: the Talkumentary.” — Transom » Jonathan Groubert
“Version 3.0 also makes the app even more usable from a listener standpoint. It sports a new visual redesign and PRX claims it has been rewritten to improve the app’s performance. What gets me excited, though, is the fact that you can now download episodes of shows so you can listen to them offline instead of being stuck streaming all the time. This alone is a feature worth downloading the update for—the app (like the others in this writeup) is free, so if you love public radio, go get it.” — Public Radio, Basecamp, Kickstarter, Tempo: iOS apps to try this weekend | Ars Technica
