PODCAST:
FoST Announces its First Audio Series!

Right now the world is facing an unprecedented challenge as the COVID-19 pandemic forces us to isolate ourselves in order to save lives. While we need to be physically distanced, we still have a strong human need to be socially, emotionally, and spiritually connected. Stories have a unique ability to help us overcome isolation, to bridge divides, and to make us feel part of something bigger than ourselves. The world needs stories and storytellers now more than ever. We're pleased to announce the launch of FoST's weekly podcast.

Overview

On the FoST podcast, FoST Founder and Director Charlie Melcher sits down with some of the world’s most innovative, skillful, and creative storytellers from diverse backgrounds—from media and marketing to technology and the arts—who strive to create greater human connections and empathy through their work.

JR Reality, created with Superblue and Niantic, is a platform that lets anyone with a smartphone add their portrait and story to geotagged locations throughout their city. On today’s episode, JR talks about the creative process behind the app and what it means both for him and for the world.
