24700: Chris Porter and Jenny Curtis on 'Solar' the Podcast
In late March, podcast network CurtCo Media launched Solar, a 12-episode, immersive sci-fi drama created by CalArts alums Chris Porter (Music MFA 09) and directed by Porter and Jenny Curtis (Theater BFA 12).
The audio drama follows crew members on the ill-fated solar research probe Aethon, who are disconnected from earth and trapped on separate parts of their spacecraft. As they face a literal and physical abyss, their painful memories, forgotten dreams and realities collide during their fight for survival.
Listen to the 24700 podcast interview—preceded by the Solar trailer—with Porter and Curtis about the development of Solar, which features a number of CalArtians on the mic and behind the scenes.
Host: Christine Ziemba
Music: Erick "Pepper" Rivera (Music MFA 12)
