Podcast Hall of Fame
Started September 2010 – show times range from really short (3-4 minutes) to an hour.
Roman Mars, the producer and host started the show as a project of KALW public radio in San Francisco and the American Institute of Architects in San Francisco.
The title of the show comes form a quote by Buckminster Fuller where he said, “Ninety-nine percent of who you are is invisible and untouchable.”
99% Invisible is a completely independent production and raise all of funds directly from the listeners, most notably from the record breaking Kickstarter campaign With over 30 million downloads, the 99% Invisible podcast is one of the most popular programs on iTunes.
Radiotopia are currently running a Storytelling Revolution Kickstarter until 15 November 2014. Please support them.
