People need to imagine a better future and collaborate to reach it --- FAST!!!
Ultimately, that's a storytelling challenge.
I reach audiences through podcast storytelling -- the most intimate recorded medium yet devised.
I believe podcasting is evolving from a listen-only activity to a 360-lifestyle experience centered around listening --- similar to recorded music. In parallel, the Internet is accelerating to an AI-driven future of Web3 and metaverse.
In response, we're building podcast-led, rich media experiences targeted to the head’s up, hand’s free and crypto activated lifestyles of these emerging audiences and opportunities.
We're a creative studio and research company blending immersive audio with design thinking and data science to develop premium media experiences that live on any platform. We combine advanced writing, visual & interactive design, plus synthetic audio/video expertise to build rich context around a narrative audio spine. Our 360˚approach emphasizes INTIMACY, IMMERSION, FLEXIBILITY, and STICKINESS as the guiding principles behind every original audio series and commissioned project we do.
Our first original scripted audio title is Burner Face, a mystery thriller set in a climate transformed Seattle 100 years in the future. Burner Face blends sci-fi/detective noir/ghost story audio genres with a distinct visual identity, interactive maps, and synthetic characters. Burner Face won a Signal Award (Webbys Org) for Audio Fiction excellence, was an Official Select at On Air Fest in New York City, and won Best Podcast at international film festivals in Amsterdam, Sweden and Hong Kong. Season 1 of Burner Face was featured as a case study at several industry conferences focused on podcasts and synthetic media.
Climate change and emerging technology will shape what people discover, where people focus their attention, and what people think is important. If we want to bend that evolution toward human potential and happiness, we need better stories and innovative storytelling. That’s what we're about.
