State your hypothesis, tying your project back to the impact it might have.

People are confused about the digital presence of our daily talk show - what are these description pages, what do they mean about when things might or might not be airing on the radio, etc? We get many confused emails. In addition, building 1-4 web pages daily, and then spending a lot of time organizing the collections on the page is a HUGE amount of daily touches for TOL producers - especially for a page that gets very few views. If we can add dates that automatically organize the segments on the page, it would give producers more time to make great content.

Which metrics would you use to track the success of this project? We will use this as the foundation of our experiment design. (Optional)

fewer confused listener emails, more time for producers to work on the actual show

What problem are we trying to solve for our communities with this experiment? How might it help us better serve them?

Trying to make it more obvious WHEN stories on Think Out Loud will air on the radio, and thus be available for folks to listen to

Lay out the potential project steps to the best of your ability, including key teams that would need to be consulted. This is your best knowledge of the systems, tools and lift that would be required.

I've been told this could be an easy lift, just needs time to work on it.

    You have to click through to the story to see the broadcast date - it's not visible from the page. If the braodcast date could be added to the page, and the stories could be automatically grouped by broadcast date, then it would be obvious which ones were airing/aired when, without producers having to spend a bunch of time sorting stories into different collections.

    I'm a little confused about this request. Every segment that I click on has a broadcast date listed already, but I think you're asking for more than that / something a little different?
