An innovative new podcast that asks the question: What if you could rewrite the story of your own life?
This event is a showcase of The Whickers Podcast Pitch 2024 winner Rewriting the Narrative, ahead of its public release later this year. Several episodes will be premiered, alongside a Q&A with producer Christina Hardinge.
In each immersive 15 minute episode, a different person dives back into their childhood and beyond to transform a particular struggle in their life - such as grief, addiction, or depression - into a living, breathing character that they are in relationship with. As the story of this relationship unfolds, a new narrative can be written - and fresh perspectives revealed.
Inspired by real-life drama-therapy techniques that 'bring to life' complex experiences by personifying them, this innovative new approach to documentary storytelling can be a powerful and transformative experience; both for the person processing - and for the audience listening.
