This is a screenshot of the project I’ve been working on since the Android port of Prescriber’s Letter:

The name Retro Radio isn’t set in stone yet, but describes the app well.  Retro Radio will simulate the behaviour of a real antique radio.  The user will be able to tune the channel dial and will hear the normal sounds of a radio as you move between channels.  There will be two kinds of stations placed throughout the dial, music stations that play music from the 1920s and story channels that play old radio shows.  The dials are tuned just like a real radio, the user uses two fingers and “pinches” the dial and turns it, this moves the needles and of course changes what the radio plays.

The user will be able to configure how they want the radio to work.  They can set it so that shows air at a regularly scheduled time in order to experience the real feeling of being back in time eagerly awaiting the next episode of your favourite show, or they can configure it so that when they tune into a particular show’s channel they’re played the next show they haven’t listened to yet.
