Hosted by Amy Pearl, the Audio Flux Podcast shares the best of Audio Flux — innovative, short audio works from around the world – in bite-sized, weekly episodes. All fluxworks run three minutes exactly, and explore the power and pleasure of sound + story in wildly different ways.
Audio Flux is a laboratory, a sandbox, a mindset —a space where audio makers can experiment and play, and where adventurous listeners can find great audiomakers and (short) epic stories.
Audio Flux was co-founded in 2023 by Julie Shapiro and John DeLore, a pair of audiophiles who believe deeply in audio culture and community, and who loooooove to listen. Come. Flux. With. Us!
