Show Notes
We're excited to share a special feed drop featuring In Media Res, a whip-smart and darkly comic scripted fiction podcast from the Good Story Guild. This limited series follows an unknown actor who lands a huge franchise role as the next "Jack Stellar," only to have his life completely upended by the Hollywood machine.
Think Entourage by way of A24, or the "Anti-La-La-Land" – a cinematic deep dive into the petty, transactional underbelly of film studio politics. The show features fast-paced storytelling interspersed with musical interludes from Greek Chorus DJ Hobart Frunk, voiced by James Urbaniak (Venture Bros, The Office).
What Makes It Special:
Majority female creative team bringing an art house sensibility to audio fiction
Dynamite ensemble cast including Kyle Prue ("How to Piss Off Men"), James Urbaniak, and John Ales
Companion concept EP Shangri-Los Angeles featuring 6 original Bond-style theme songs with Bruce Watson of Foreigner
Directed by Rachel Music (Leylines, Divorce Ranch) and Josie Heller (Josie's Lonely Hearts Club)
3-hour program with plenty for both cinephiles and industry outsiders to sink their teeth into
