Hello HN! I am a media producer and my side project for the last 6 months has been creating a scripted audio series called The Program. You can think of it as a historical podcast, but a one that’s set in the future and examines the present day. The world of the future is exactly like ours, except that Money, State, and God became fused into a single entity called the Program. This hardcore sci-fi premise however is just the backdrop, and the series focuses on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. Imagine “Black Mirror” as an audio series. Every episode is a self-contained story, but all of them revolve around technological and societal themes that are close to the HN ethos. In fact, episode 3 was directly inspired by an HN story found at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15651510 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15651510 and some of the comments from that thread have been incorporated into the story almost verbatim. I thought the community might find it interesting how it inspired a dramatic work of art like this one, so I decided to share it here. You can find the first three episodes at www.programaudioseries.com - check it out during your next workout or commute (or code build ;)). If you are on the fence whether it's worth your time, check out the show bible which should help you decide: http://programaudioseries.com/program/TheProgramShowBible.pdf http://programaudioseries.com/program/TheProgramShowBible.pd... If you do listen to any of the episodes, I'd be curious to hear your thoughts! I'd especially appreciate the following feedback: 1. Is this something you'd be interested in listening to? 2. Any suggestions how to gain initial traction and reach broader audiences Cheers!
