App Development
Live radio is great for the right schedule but not everyone who likes late-night content has the availability to listen in real-time. The iHeartMedia vision was to make content—both on air and past programs—simple to access whenever the desire strikes. Our design gives users a paranormal feel to match the paranormal content with the use of a typewriter mimicking font and a dark color palette.
Product Manager, iHeart Media
The UX we created through our user feedback-driven testing allowed us to come up with a simple but effective design. We used the React Native framework to deliver mobile apps to both the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The back-end architecture was built upon the iHeartMedia-built infrastructure. We coordinated closely with the iHeartMedia team to ensure the unified CMS could power both the app and web experiences for Coast to Coast AM.

“Love the app! Listen to Archived Art Bell or C2C of Today with Hosts, George Noory. All kinds of amazing articles and up to the minute news. Just an amazing app!”
“I just had to come in here and applaud the changes made to the app. I’ve had this app for the past year or so and it was such a pain to navigate through it. I absolutely love the new layout. I love how you can look up shows based on topics, how it gives you a description of the shows and then even has a picture of the guest. You can click on the picture and get more information about them.”

“I have been listening to Coast to Coast since the mid 80’s. I haven’t stopped listening. Every night I put on C2C. Every weekend we BBQ have a fire in the fire pit and listen to Coast to Coast am into the wee hours of the morning. That’s what we call a fantastic weekend!”

“Howard Stern clearly has the best show on the radio, especially now that Artie Lang is a full time member of the show. After that, it’s a close competition between Phil Hendrie and Coast to Coast AM. I mean, which one is funnier; Phil’s Art Bell parody, in which he interviews a man on a quest to find Jack Frost, or Art ending a recent episode by announcing–quite seriously–that the next episode would be dedicated to the Mothman?”
“.... it’s the most-listened-to overnight radio program in North America.”
