Introducing: The Apocrypha Chronicles

The year is 2156. A young archivist, Phe, has just discovered a digital time capsule dating back to 2020, the year of the first of the Great Pandemics.

The Apocrypha Chronicles is a groundbreaking sci-fi / documentary podcast that transcends the pandemic, using the frame of a speculative fictional drama to present reflections from contemporary artists. The podcast was created by Peabody award-winning veterans of Canadian public radio, along with opera and new music composers, theatre-makers, Indigenous storytellers, and other artists across the spectrum of today’s performing arts scene.

The Apocrypha Chronicles creates a conversation between our uncertain digital present and a more hopeful organic future.

First episode drops Jan. 19th, 2021.
