miLAB city cast is an urban media experience

City-cast is an urban media experience that connects people with the personal history of their city and neighborhood. We propose a user-generated content system using a combined approach including (a) custom cellphone recording and uploading, (b) content editing and narration, (c) web, gallery, and situated cellphone listening, (d) online voting, and (e) traditional and podcast broadcast radio.

With city-cast, people can collect personal stories associated with urban locations through a unique cellphone interface. The stories are automatically geo-tagged and edited into a broadcast-quality documentary. Listeners can experience these stories situated in the original setting, and vote for them through their cellphones and online. A weekly radio show will present the highest voted stories in a one-hour radio show.

A city is made up of millions of stories and its oral history is embedded in its streets, parks, and buildings. The project will create a unique urban radio experience which will connect people with the lives of those who have lived in the city before them.
