A Multi-Platform Podcast Redefining Music & Storytelling
The Escapist
Podcast + Video Channel
Work Accomplished:
Creative direction, world-building, concept development, media production, content strategy, visual storytelling.
Premise:
With The Escapist our aim has been to create a podcast series that blends music and storytelling to create immersive auditory journeys. Enhanced with video and imagery, it engages listeners across multiple platforms.
Mission:
To create a podcast series that seamlessly merged music and storytelling, crafting an immersive audio journey for each episode while building a strong visual world to enhance the overall experience.
Role:
My Creative Direction brought forth the complete concept development and creation of the podcast. From its basic audio format, content direction, writing and performance, to the complete audio-visual world built around the podcast.
Outcome:
Across five episodes, The Escapist became less a podcast than a series of experiences, intertwining music and storytelling across audio and video. It was made during a brief window when independent podcasts could use licensed music. Spotify closed that feature in 2024, and the episodes now play without their songs.
