Audio Only with Mia and Mari is a podcast about podcasts… we are just getting started in podcasting and Audio Only will highlight not only our love for storytelling through audio but also what it takes to create a podcast. In our episodes, we will explore audio drama narratives and how fictional truths can get at larger truths than non-fiction. For our first episode, we are looking at Epiphany, an audio narrative created by fourth-year media production students at Toronto Metropolitan University. We talked to Haylee Thompson, the creator of the project, as well as Addison Holley, who directed Epiphany. And for an expert perspective, we talked to Chris Tolley, co-producer and co-host of the CBC podcast, PlayME.
