BlogTalkRadio is the largest social radio network with millions of listeners and thousands of hosts creating podcasts and broadcasting live.In order to increase conversions and monetization of the services, BTR developed an audio editor. We developed the visualization tool that makes it easy for users to edit their podcasts and to insert advertisement. The main technologies used in this project were D3 and Canvas.
