a narrative anthology podcast curated
by Monisha Dadlani & Matthew Keibler

BLACK BOX RADIO is a collaborative narrative anthology podcast bringing together up and coming writers, directors, and actors. Other auditory platforms such as Playing on Air have brought together various artists in their community, which has inspired us to take on a similar initiative of our own. Our goal with this project is to foster a collaborative environment for creative exploration amongst storytellers.

SEASON ONE

Our inaugural season consists of six unique episodes, each with a different writer and director pairing, working together inspired by the thematic question:

How does technology influence the way we communicate?

Serious

When her best friend goes missing, an obsessive young woman makes an investigative podcast to locate her -- but instead finds that perhaps her friend doesn't want to be found.

Sally, a Seashell & the Seashore

After a passionate summer romance, a young couple starts flirtatiously talking to each other via seashell, but to their surprise, someone else starts talking back.

Y'ello!

A science fiction author makes first contact with a radio astronomer.

You Can Ring My Bell

Right Things in the Right Order

SEASON TWO

Our second season consists of six unique episodes, each with a different writer and director pairing, working together inspired by the thematic question:

HOW DOES TIME INFLUENCE OUR PERSPECTIVE?
