The voice-first platform expands to the browser with two-minute human-only audio posts and a listener-controlled feed built for real presence—not algorithmic intrusion.

WASHINGTON, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Gistvox today announced the launch of its new web audio studio, providing users a professional browser-based suite to record, organize, and publish two-minute audio posts—called “Gists”—seamlessly across Web, iOS, and Android platforms.

“In the beginning was the word.”

The launch marks a strategic expansion for Gistvox beyond its mobile roots, sharpening the company’s core mission: providing a high-fidelity sanctuary for human speech in a digital landscape increasingly saturated by AI-generated content and intrusive algorithms.

“We are taking communication back to one of its oldest and most human forms: the voice,” said Abram Olmstead, founder of Gistvox. “No synthetic avatars. No algorithmic theater. Just a person, speaking—and a listener choosing whether to hear them. While the rest of the industry leans into automation, we are leaning into authenticity.”

The Gistvox platform is built on three foundational pillars designed to return control to the user:

• Human-Only Audio: A strict policy prohibiting AI-generated or synthetic published audio.
• The Sacred Feed: A “Zero-Noise” Home Feed with no ads, no algorithmic injections, and no forced recommendations.
• Listener Sovereignty: A separate discovery space allows users to explore the global conversation on their own terms, preventing “feed creep” from polluting the personal listening experience.

“Most platforms treat the feed as inventory to be sold to the highest bidder,” added Olmstead. “We treat it as sacred space belonging to the listener.”

Key Features of the Web Audio Studio Launch:

• Browser-Based Recording: Record and edit high-quality Gists directly from any desktop browser with no additional hardware required.
• Two-Minute “Brevity” Format: Designed to capture insights and observations while preserving the intimacy and momentum of natural speech.
• Global Synchronization: Full cross-platform parity allows users to start recording on mobile and manage their library on the web.
• Organization Tools: New folder and categorization systems for users to manage audio content at scale.

As social platforms become more synthetic, Gistvox is making a deliberate, human-centric bet: that the human voice remains the most powerful medium for connection, and that the “social” in social media should be defined by people, not machines.

About Gistvox
Gistvox is a voice-first social platform for micro-podcasting. Built around authentic human speech and listener-controlled feeds, it offers a human-only alternative to ad-driven, algorithmically shaped social media. For more information, visit www.gistvox.com.

SHENZHEN, China, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Hollyland, a global provider of professional wireless audio and video solutions, is preparing to showcase a comprehensive lineup of its imaging and audio systems at NAB 2026 held on April 19-22. At Booth C4310 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Hollyland will introduce several upcoming products designed to advance production efficiency across broadcasting, filmmaking, live events, and content creation.

A major highlight will be the debut of new wireless video transmission systems. Scheduled to launch on April 18, the Pyro Ultra is built to support productions requiring high‑resolution monitoring and large‑team collaboration. Its ability to send a 4K60 UHD signal from a single transmitter to an unlimited number of receivers enables large crews to work from consistent visual references. For more demanding control scenarios, an optional low-latency Focus Mode reduces latency to as low as 20 ms (at up to 1080p30), for more precise and responsive focus control. Proprietary TWiFi technology enhances transmission stability in congested environments, while DFS certification helps maintain reliable operation in regions with regulated frequency bands. The system’s support for both HDMI and SDI streamlines integration into hybrid workflows, while UVC and RTMP capabilities allow direct streaming without additional encoders.

The brand will also expand its communication lineup with the upcoming Solidcom SE 2, expected in August. The system supports up to 11 users with a lightweight 115‑gram headset for long-duration comfort. The 10‑hour battery life accommodates full‑day shoots, and dual‑mic environmental noise cancellation preserves voice clarity in loud venues. A 3.5mm audio interface increases flexibility for integration with mixers or external recorders.

In audio capture, Hollyland will preview the MELO P1, the industry’s first ultra‑compact all‑in‑one vocal mixing system, scheduled for release in June. Its fully wireless architecture enables cable‑free studio setups, while AI noise cancellation and studio‑grade processing deliver clean vocals even in untreated rooms. With extensive vocal presets and intuitive app‑based control, the system streamlines sound shaping for singers, live streamers, and mobile creators.

Rounding out the lineup is the Astra P1 PTZ camera, expected in late April. Designed for broadcast-grade remote production, it offers 4K60 imaging, 30× optical zoom, AI tracking, Face Detection AE, and NDI®|HX3 support, with optional PTZ control and a five‑year warranty for long‑term professional deployment.

Throughout NAB 2026, Hollyland’s booth will host daily presentations from leading creators and industry professionals. Speakers include renowned creators Landon Bytheway and Dunna Did It, the team from Think Media (3M+ subscribers), wedding filmmaker Matt Johnson, filmmaker Alberto Seghezzi, and the team from BattleBots.

Visitors can see Hollyland solutions being used in real-world production setups and discover how these tools help creators work more efficiently and achieve professional-quality results. A live music showcase on April 20-21 will feature the MELO P1 in performance scenarios, while interactive prize games will be available throughout the event.

Hollyland invites attendees to explore its latest technologies at Booth C4310 during NAB 2026. Invitation Code: NS6759.

NEW YORK, April 13, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — April marks Celebrate Diversity Month, occurring annually since 2004. As U.S. cities continue to thrive as cultural melting pots, HungryPanda, an Asian food delivery platform serving communities worldwide, is expanding its role in connecting users to diverse culinary experiences across some of the world‘s most inclusive and food-forward urban centers.

Time Out‘s list of The 50 best cities in the world in 2026 overlaps those ranked among the most culturally diverse and inclusive. Cities such as New York and San Francisco stand out not only for their cultural vibrancy and global appeal, but also for their diversity—where international communities, languages, and traditions shape everyday life. These same cities are consistently recognized for their inclusive environments and dynamic food scenes, reflecting how cultural diversity enhances both quality of life and urban experience.

From authentic Asian cuisine in Flushing and Sunset Park to globally inspired offerings across Manhattan, the intersection of diversity and culinary exploration is a defining feature of today‘s leading cities. Similarly, U.S. hubs like Seattle and Los Angeles continue to rank among the most diverse food destinations, offering a wide range of global cuisines that mirror their populations.

HungryPanda supports these ecosystems by providing access to authentic Asian dining and grocery options that reflect the evolving tastes of multicultural communities. By connecting users with local restaurants and specialty food providers, the platform enables residents and visitors alike to engage more deeply with the cultural fabric of their cities through food.

HungryPanda partners with 45,000 merchants in the U.S., helping small and medium-sized businesses reach digitally engaged audiences in competitive metropolitan markets. Its growing presence in top-ranked U.S. and global cities reinforces the connection between cultural diversity, culinary innovation, and economic opportunity.

As cities recognized for both livability and inclusivity continue to attract global attention, HungryPanda remains committed to celebrating the diversity that defines them—bringing people together through shared food experiences that reflect the world‘s rich cultural landscape. Celebrate diversity this April with HungryPanda!
