The Audio First event series is all about helping people keep up with the world of audio. Audio is everywhere -- in fact, with ubiquitous products like bluetooth headphones, the Amazon Echo and Google Home, audio is well on its way to becoming the way people interact with services, products, and each other. At Anchor (https://anchor.fm), we spend a lot of time thinking about what this means for the products we're building, and we hope that Audio First can serve as a way to get other audio-oriented creators together to exchange ideas.
