Presented as a showcase and workshop for new public, Transom is much more. It's great value is not just as an entity connected to public radio, but as a resource center for digital storytellers. You can know next to nothing about digital audio and from this site alone figure out enough to create, edit and post a piece of work on any topic.
The site is centered exclusively around audio media, with the implied intent that it be used in public radio production. The tools, resources and workflow concepts available on the site are adaptable to small scale and local use: creating audio pieces for websites or podcasts, for presentations at events, as a part of an art installation, or of course for submission to mainstream radio channels. Transom fundamentally is about empowering people to create their own audio stories.
