Shazam (Part 1)
Download MP3This week and next, I'm joined by singer-songwriter Rachel Kiel to talk about Shazam: the massive data analytics platform that occasionally tells you the names of songs. Find out:
- How they use computers to turn all your favorite songs into constellations
- What other things you can Shazam, if you're not a music person
- What Shazam likes to do in its spare time, when you think it's not listening anymore
