US-based South African millionaire comedian with international repute, Trevor Noah is working with Cape Town-based start-up, VoiceMap, to create an interactive, self-guided walking tour of the US Capitol building, where Donald Trump’s supporters held an insurrection in January 2021.
Guests who use VoiceMap while on a tour of the building will be able to listen to Trevor Noah’s satirical recount of the events that took place at that location.
VoiceMap is a map that can talk to you and tell you stories about your location. It is a publishing platform and mobile app that uses GPS to play audio automatically. With VoiceMap, tour guides can upload stories about different locations and offer location-aware audio tours for tourists. With it, tourists can guide themselves when they travel and listen to the history or stories related to the locations they visit.
Trevor Noah partnered with VoiceMap to give a guest recount of the events before, during, and after the storming of the US Capitol Building. The walking tour is titled “In the Footsteps of the Freedomsurrection.” Guests on the tour of the building can use VoiceMaps to trace the footsteps of protesting Trump supporters while listening to Trevor Noah’s satirical recount of the events before, during, and after the storming of the US Capitol building.
One of the highlights of the tour includes “The Battle of Little Muffin Top”, in which former US president, Donald Trump, single-handedly fought against his own secret service detail.
Satire aside, with VoiceMap, tour guides can retire. Storytellers and tour guides can publish their tour audio on the VoiceMap platform, set the price of their tour, and earn royalties on every download.
