Time: 1pm PT / 4pm ET
RSVP for free
Join us to hear the 15 Audio Flux finalists selected from a pool of 73 Circuit 04 submissions from 11 countries! We’ll listen together, revel in handwriting, and hear directly from some of the producers behind these wide-ranging gems. Bring snacks, bring a beverage, make yourself comfortable, and bring your headphones.
We have Circuit 04 finalists! | Oct 2024
Rejoice! These 15 fluxworks were selected from a stunning pool of 73 submissions from 11 countries. Recurring themes this (every?) time: family, sense of self, departure. Lots o' dads in the mix & rampant word play. What a beautiful pile of stories. Naturally, the hand-written list is a nod to the Circuit prompt inspired by Jason Reynold’s (our creative partner for 04) practice of writing out his first drafts by hand.
Next: Our listening committee will help decide on four Circuit Selects which we'll debut at the RESONATE Podcast Festival later this month, with our creative partner Jason Reynolds. We'll share them far and wide afterward so keep an eye/ear out AND stay tuned for a Finalist Happy Hour / Happy Ears Listening Party this fall.
P.S. HUGE congrats to Jason for being amongst this year’s MacArthur Fellows!
Circuit 04: Firsts is now closed. | Aug 2024
Circuit 04: Firsts is now closed for submissions. Thanks to everyone who submitted a first-inspired story!
Our creative partner for 04 is acclaimed DC-based writer and literary artist, Jason Reynolds. Circuit 04 fluxworks (4 commissioned and 4 “Circuit Selects” chosen from submissions) will debut at the RESONATE Podcast Festival in October. We’re grateful for 04 support from our friends at Canadaland.

Pet Sounds debut at Tribeca Audio | June 2024
Join us June 11 for IMI and Audio Flux Present Pet Sounds, part of this year’s Tribeca Audio program, where we’ll share original new fluxworks from Kalila Holt, KalaLea, Ryan Ng and Mark Pagán, and reveal (and share) winners from our first ever open call! Tickets are available now, but going fast.
Speaking of Tribeca Audio, we’re also very excited to share that the The Audio Flux Podcast, hosted by the singular Amy Pearl, has been chosen as an Official Selection. Stay tuned for more information about how to subscribe. And don’t those laurels look nice next to Fluxy?
PBS NewsHour | March 2024
We were pleased as FLUX to be interviewed at the On Air Fest for this PBS NewsHour segment on the current state of podcasting. Very proud to be in the mix with industry big guns, celebrity hosts and fellow audiophiles.
Circuit 03: Pet Sounds is now closed.
Thanks to all who submitted a Pet Sounds fluxwork! And for sharing your stories and audio prowess and beloved (or decidedly un-beloved) pets with us! We are truly astounded by your collective creativity and the many brilliant variations on our humble Pet Sounds theme that you've shared.
A scritch behind the ears to all of you!
On Air Fest | Feb-March 2024
Audio Flux’s second circuit debuted at the On Air Fest in Brooklyn, Feb 29 - March 1. Six new Fluxworks inspired by creative partner Sam Green’s film 32 Sounds were shared alongside short conversations with their producers. And special guest Annea Lockwood, whose “listening with” philosophy directly inspired this circuit’s theme, joined us for a screening! Listen to all six new Fluxworks here.
Vulture | November 2023
Audio Flux circuit #01 is featured in Nick Quah’s 1.5x Speed. The feature includes commentary by Julie Shapiro and John DeLore on each of the six Fluxworks.
