Episode 4 -Catalyst Of Exploration

Communication is an integral part of human interaction. From precious moments to the struggle for survival it is human nature to attempt to record, share, and digest the world around us.  The process has evolved over time allowing minor deviations in the social narrative driven largely in part by technological improvements. Technology improves our ability to connect and even receive information but it is simplicity which ensures the message is clear.

Episode 5 - Message Received

We all have our own fix. Be it a nice cold drink on a warm summer day or long day out on the golf course, we have our own forms of therapy that help us get by. But there is another fix that too many people are chasing. A dangerous one that has been silent for decades. And this is the story of how that fix affected not just two strangers, but an entire nation.

Episode 6 - The Fix

Those who bear witness struggle to conceal their bias rejecting ambiguity in the projection of preference and judgement. Over time we are molded by our experiences which alters our point of view and permanently changes how we will approach situations in the future. Yet as we age our perspective changes and we can end up torn between self-affirmation and the physical limitations imposed on us by time.

Episode 7 - Perspective

Growing up, you may have been chastised for having an over active imagination and letting it get away from you. Maybe you couldn't get to sleep because the Boogeyman was going to get you. And your parents told you that was nonsense and to go to sleep. But it felt real growing up.

Where did the Boogeyman come from? Is there an innate fear that was built inside of us? Maybe that means the Boogeyman was real at one point.

And if so, then how did we fight back?
