The Making Of…

The Making Of… was part of a public radio experiment called Localore–10 independent producers collaborating with 10 public radio stations around the nation, creating some of the new public radio programming of the future. During this year long collaboration we explored The Making of the Submerged Turntable, The Making of a Violin, The Un-Making of a Typewriter, The Making of the Homobile and much, much more. And nearly 30,000 people joined us when The Making Of… went live at SFMOMA for three days, with 5 floors of the museum filled with the makers from across our community.

While The Making Of… stories will no longer be airing on KQED, this blog remains active and we will still be taking in stories. The easiest way to submit your story is through Zeega. Visit the Studio page to learn how and to see some of the Zeegas that have already been made for this project.
It’s been a pleasure and an honor to know the Bay Area further through what people make here and why. And why it matters.

Make Your Own Zeega

As part of The Making Of project we’ve partnered with Zeega, a group of folks who are creating a new online storytelling platform. This brand new tool makes it easy create digital stories combining your own content with media curated from across the web. Video, photographs,words, music can all be easily combined to make a story, right here on our site. You can go to our new STUDIO page and make your own.

Check our some of the wacky Zeegas made in about 10 minutes by people who came to The Kitchen Sisters’ Making Of.. a Zeega Launch Party at SoundCloud. The assignment was to quickly select an animated .gif from tumblr, add a random piece of music from SoundCloud, and give it a title. Try it. And don’t forget to publish it and tag it with makingofaudiogif.

Zeega Launch Party & Workshop

The Kitchen Sisters invite you to The Making Of… Zeega – A Night of Stories, Invention & Surprise. Thursday January 17, 7-8:30 pm at SoundCloud, 500 Treat Ave., San Francisco. We’re launching Zeega’s new storytelling platform on our Making Of site and hope you’ll come celebrate, find out more about the project and make a Zeega.

Zeega is a new experimental storytelling platform that lets users combine original content with media from across the web to create beautiful, surprising, immersive stories and works of art. Zeega has been holding “Maker Hours” every week in their storefront studio in Cambridge, MA, inviting a community of artists, designers and storytellers come together and invent.

On January 17, Zeega founders Jesse Shapins and Kara Oehler, will present “Zeega Maker Hours West” at SoundCloud’s San Francisco office. Anyone will be able to make Zeegas and contribute them to the project.

Bring your laptop or just come watch, listen and enjoy the food.
