Slacker Radio Offers Interactive Content & Storytelling

RADIO ONLINE | Wednesday, May 25, 2016

Slacker Radio, an Internet radio service, has announced a new version of its application that gives top billing to Slacker's original programming. With hundreds of episodes now available, Slacker is building an archive of content that is based on interactive storytelling from its hosts and artists. The service says it's the first to offer original, interactive programming on a major scale.

In the latest version, listeners have access to a variety of programming such as artist-curated shows and themed stations that provide commentary and background information to complement the music. Coupled with a newly designed user interface, music lovers can more easily access Slacker's original content and create their own listening experience, whether it be laid back, on demand or music discovery.

"Since our inception Slacker has been focused on reinventing the radio experience, an attribute that sets us apart from other terrestrial, Internet radio or satellite music services," said Slacker Radio CEO Duncan Orrell-Jones. "We believe the magic of music listening does not come from the music catalog alone, rather the way in which the song is delivered to the listener. The latest version of Slacker is all about providing an interactive combination of music, personality and storytelling, that can't be found in any other music service today."
