Adaptive podcasting is a dynamic approach to storytelling through audio productions that are tailored to the preferences and needs of audiences. It is a powerful way to connect with your audience on a deeper level by telling experiential stories adapted to their situation at the moment of listening, using mobile sensory data. Moreover, adaptive podcasting can make podcasts more accessible, as they can be adjusted to the needs of the listener, for instance by adjusting to their level of hearing all without sharing personal data.

8. Media + Metadata = Objects
The idea behind object-based media is that you take all the assets
for a given TV or radio show the video clips, the accompanying
audio, any music soundtrack, and extras like subtitles and sign
language translations
wrap it up in useful metadata and then use software to remix it
as needed

Moby credited Experience with changing his perception about
dance albums; previously he felt that "dance albums had always
failed [...] because they didn't work over the full length of the
record.
Mostly they were singles collections which was exactly what I didn't
want to do," and noted that Experience "impressed me because
they'd managed to create a full listening experience which
encompassed various styles.
This was the kind of vision I had for my debut album
