Our Week In The Web: May 8, 2015

If you're a careful follower of our Twitter account (@OnPointRadio), you might have noticed the unusual opportunity to peek into our studio on April 23 during our conversation with two authors on the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide. We used the new livestreaming app Periscope to show daduk musician Martin Haroutunian playing live in our Boston-based studio, and at least a few dozen of you came along. It's an app we want to play around with more, but it really depends on your interest in following along. NPR News international correspondent Ari Shaprio had some fantastic Periscope broadcasts during his ongoing coverage of the 2015 United Kingdom General Election this week, and we've often thought how fun it might be for regular listeners to see what's happening the studio during a hectic live broadcast. Would you watch? Would it change your listening experience? We want to know! Let us know in the comments below, or on Facebook, Tumblr and @OnPointRadio.
