Really love the look of this. Are there any plans to expand the project outside of the US to Europe perhaps? Would love listening along, on a drive through Switzerland :)

@calum once we’ve hit our initial 10k stories in the US we’ll be working on stories abroad too.

Thanks for the Hunt Chris! People are flying less and road-tripping more often which provides us the right moment to introduce our iPhone app to the market. Our mission at HearHere is to present the stories that are not being told and to always start at the beginning. We want to make road trips memorable, more interesting and exciting. We’ve released v1 of the app that essentially is on rails - as you drive around, you're hearing stories about the places that you're driving through. We’ve decided to focus primarily on California and the West Coast to start with plans to cover the rest of the US by Summer 2021. We look forward to hearing about your journey with HearHere in the near future. Cheers, Woody Sears, Bill Werlin and Kevin Costner - Founders of HearHere, Inc.

@wsears Very nice Do you plan to extend it outside of US? Revenue share plan with local audio content provider/ partners?

A great idea, I've been looking for an app that can generate day trips and scenic drives. If there were a way for this to generate a route between places like a tour this would be perfect.

Congrats on the launch! I made something similar as a side project a while back, not with produced audio content but just with Wikipedia content + AWS Polly text to speech: https://www.producthunt.com/post...

@bjoern2000 that’s cool and something that will benefit from all of the machine learning advances for NLP

Love this concept! I just drove out to Cape Cod from SF and would have loved to have something like this along the way -- although it looks like coverage in the middle of the country is a bit spotty still. Hoping to test it out on my route back next month :)

Thanks Ethan, I agree! Curating specific drives is on the roadmap and something that would be helpful. I’ll be curious to hear what you think of a day trip with the app now as it is more of a “choose your own adventure” model.
