Short Story-Telling Startups

The 60db Service Generates a Playlist Of Stories For Your Day

60dB is the name of an innovative new technology startup that is designed to bring back the incomparable joy and engagement of storytelling by generating playlists of short stories that are perfectly curated and timed to fit in with your drive, commute or your day in general.

Named after the frequency at which people talk under regular conditions, the 60dB service will start off in the form of an iOS app that people can download in order to hear stories that are shorter than the kinds you'd hear on most podcasts.

Perhaps the most admirable feature of this app is the fact that it allows people to revel and lose themselves in the wonder of short form stories even if they don't have the time to read books, making it an excellent example of modern technology compensating for lifestyle changes that have arisen by the rise of smartphones.
