Summary

Twilio, a software company, enabled Victory 91.5 FM to transition from hardware-powered radio broadcasting to software-powered solutions, allowing the nonprofit Christian radio station to improve its listener engagement and operational efficiency. By leveraging Twilio's Voice service, Austin, a single developer, was able to build a range of custom features, including recording and transmitting audio from listeners calling in, sending SMS updates to missionaries, and creating a dashboard for admin staff to manage calls programmatically. This transition has streamlined Victory 91.5's operations, reduced the workload on staff, and improved overall listener experience.
