Mars and his signature radio show, 99% Invisible, have been credited in the mainstream press as an innovative form of radio production, defining a new movement of independent radio and podcast creators.[6][7][8]

In partnership with the Knight Foundation and the Public Radio Exchange (PRX), Mars also created Radiotopia, a web-based solution for aggregating podcast content in ways similar to how syndication systems function for terrestrial radio networks.[9] The Public Radio Exchange has hired Mars to curate a radio program called Remix, which is syndicated by at least 14 public radio stations across the US.[10]

Mars is also notable for having successfully used Kickstarter for 99% Invisible, raising over $170,000, making it the highest-funded journalism Kickstarter project ever, and the second highest-funded Kickstarter project across the entire publishing category.[11]
