A new podcast platform for radio art, sound documentaries and field recording launched this October in Bucharest from my friends at <a href="http://sambatasonora.blogspot.ro/">Jumătatea Plină</a>.<br />
<br />
They commissioned several sound documentaries about meaningful places in Bucharest such as the largest market, Piața Obor, or biggest train station, Gara de Nord.<br />
