Bellwether
Created by Sam Greenspan
Written, directed and designed by me and a ton of other extremely talented people
BELLWETHER is an in-depth longform nonfiction podcast, told within the frame of an ongoing sci-fi radio serial. Within the show’s nonfiction, host Sam Greenspan reports true stories of collisions with technology. Within the show’s fiction, a human and a sentient A.I. a hundred years in the future sift through artifacts looking for clues to the cause of “The Cloudburst,” a mysterious event in which the internet blipped out of existence. Among those artifacts: an early 21st century work of audio journalism called “Bellwether.”
Starring Carmen Berkeley, Lex Ryan, Katie Malia, Esau Prtichett, Azhar Khan, Michael Chernus, Pooya Mohseni, and Keith Randolph Smith
