Audio Stories

Audio Stories are short-form audio clipsβ€”station IDs, promos, news updates, or bite-sized content that listeners can play on-demand in your app.

Accessing Audio Stories

Navigate to Audio Stories from the sidebar or visit /audio-stories.

Audio Stories management interface

Creating Stories

Upload short audio clips (typically 15 seconds to 5 minutes):

  • Station Promos β€” Promotional clips about your station or shows

  • News Briefs β€” Quick news updates or headlines

  • Announcements β€” Event info, contest details, or public service messages

  • Featured Content β€” Highlights or teasers from longer shows

Story Details

For each story, provide:

  • Title β€” Story headline

  • Cover Image β€” Visual thumbnail for the story

  • Audio File β€” MP3 or AAC clip

  • Publish Date β€” When the story should appear (can schedule future stories)

  • Expiration β€” Optional date when the story should automatically hide

Keep stories under 2 minutes. Listeners expect quick, digestible content in the Stories section.

Display in Your App

Audio Stories appear as a scrollable feed in your app, similar to social media stories. New stories appear at the top. Listeners can swipe through and play them with a single tap.

Use expiration dates for time-sensitive content like event announcements or contest deadlines. Expired stories hide automatically.
