The Untold Story of Everything Digital
“The Beginning That Changed Everything”
How our digital age came to be.
The podcast version of The Untold Story of Everything Digital is an 12-episode podcast series based on the new book release of the same title: The Untold Story of Everything Digital (2019).
Both the book and podcast recount the origins of the world going digital for the very first time. How it began and why, where, and who were the digital pioneers who made it happen?
From walk-in to pocket size all in a lifetime. Remembrances of life prior to our digital dawning are getting dimmer.
Content in context
Historical events great and small, both social and political, plus glimpses of everyday life are woven into the fabric of the narrative and will make appearances throughout the podcast series.
The storytelling is nuanced by the marvelous saga of the life and times of the mid-1940s to the mid-1950s.
Creative energy, bottled up during five years of world war, finally uncorked, releasing a creative outpouring that was rich and varied, especially in the arts and technology.
Context transforms the book from a great read into a fascinatingly memorable journey through a world just prior to and just after digital transformation began.
The Untold Story of Everything Digital: The Podcast will follow the same scheme of content in context as the book.
In fact, radio (audio) is a superb medium for enhancing and nuancing the story all the more.
What had previously been talked about and theorized was suddenly, for the very first time, realized…and proven…and tried again…and proven again. This changed everything. It left them looking at one another in wonder…and with a smile.
…and thinking, what next?
An episodic series
The podcast series will consist of twelve (12) scripted, 30-minute episodes. Each script will contain both new material—script, audio news clips, music, etc.—plus excerpts from the book.
The flow, tempo and imagery of the prose lend themselves well to presentation as a podcast. By design, The Untold Story of Everything Digital has a purposeful script-like feel to the storytelling that lends itself well to audio presentation.
The timetable
Scriptwriting begins in September 2023, followed by production in February 2024 for airing of Episode #1 in October of 2024. Series to consist of 12 episodes.
Full and partial sponsorships are available. Interested parties should ping us for further details.
