Hey audio nerds. I've been banging around in this program for a week or so and it's pretty cool. Request an invite if you're interested. This may just be the future of raw interview storage. -Mia
Beta is here.
We've hardly come up for air these past few weeks. But we are thrilled to launch the beta version of Pop Up Archive into the world!

After an insane and memorable week at SXSW: Interactive in Austin in March, we came away with our work cut out for us: improving Pop Up Archive so that it's a reliable place to make all kinds of audio searchable, findable, and reusable.
Thanks in no small part to the brilliant development team at PRX, we've come leaps and bounds in the past few weeks. But technology is nothing without content. So what does Pop Up Archive do exactly?
- Generates automatic transcripts and keywords so that audio is both searchable and easy to organize.
- Provides access to an archive of sound from around the world.
- Saves time and money for producers, creators, radio stations, media organizations, and archives of all stripes.
The content creators and caretakers we're talking to have valuable digital material on their hands: raw interviews and oral histories, partial mixes of produced works, and entire series of finished pieces. But they can't revisit, remix, or repackage that material. It's stored in esoteric formats in multiple locations. And it gets lost every time a hard drive dies or a folder gets erased to make more space on a laptop.
We're hearing things like:
- "Someday I’m gonna spend a month organizing all this, but I plug [hard drives] in until I find what I need."
- "Imagine being able to find a sentence somewhere in your archive. That would be an amazing tool.”
- "Unfortunately… we don’t have a good way of cleaning [tags] to know that 'Obama,' 'Mr. Obama,' and 'Barack Obama' should be just one entry."
But no one wants to figure out how to save all that audio, not to mention search on anything more than filenames. Some stations and media companies maintain incredible archives, but they've got different methods for managing the madness, which don't always line up with workflows and real-world habits. Content creators rely on their memories or YouTube to find old audio, and that works to a degree. But in the meantime, lots of awesome, time-saving and revenue-generating opportunities are going to waste.
So what are you waiting for? Got some trapped archival audio in need of liberation? Request an invite here. If you already have, you'll hear from us soon.
Want a taste from the archive? Listen to Nikki Silva describe War and Separation, one of the first pieces The Kitchen Sisters produced for NPR in the early 1980s. Then visit Pop Up Archive this week to hear the full piece.

Details HERE and below on the annual Above the Fray/NPR fellowship. Deadline July 1. -Mia
Above the Fray, a fellowship in conjunction with NPR, is the keynote program of the John Alexander Project.
The Above the Fray fellowship is designed to give a promising radio journalist the opportunity to cover important but under-reported stories from a location abroad. One fellow will be selected each year based on a winning proposal to report from a region lacking significant mainstream media attention. The selected individual will spend three months filing on-air and online stories for NPR.
Above the Fray supports curious, truth-seeking, spirited individuals who wish to cover under-reported regions, but who do not have the financial means or professional support to pursue these stories. The fellowship is not about finding the most experienced candidate; it is about cultivating the next generation of international journalists. The fellowship strives to discover journalists who are at pivotal moments in their careers: those who are armed with the skills to independently tell stories and who possess the ability to take audiences off the beaten path.
Applicants should have 3-5 years of professional experience. Above all, the applicant must express sincere interest in innovative foreign reporting, a curiosity about global cultures and a demonstrated record of journalistic potential.
Please be sure to sign up for our mailing list to stay up-to-date. Fellowship deadlines and details here.
