TRAILER | IRIS Podcast (A 10-part audiodrama)

Sun, 05 May 2024 10:30:11 -0700

The year is 2054, and our story begins with Iris Ignatius floating in a stolen boat off the West Coast of North America, trying to tell us a story.

In IRIS, the world of the future is living up to the adage of ‘the more things change, the more they stay the same’. In post-oil, climate-changed world, regular people are still subject to the forces of corporate greed. Three members of an independent media collective, Break Media, come up against a strange story involving a series of death threats against a renewable energy corporation. For Break Media - Jolene, Kris, and Iris - it represents a mystery that leads them to the doors of cult compounds, the grand estates of the wealthy, and into their own hearts.

IRIS Episode 1: Southcorp, My Sweet

Sun, 12 May 2024 12:00:00 -0700

Iris Ignatius is at sea, with nothing but a record player and her past to keep her company. 

The beginning of it all was simple enough. While digging into a murky drone incident, she and her fellow journalists- Krishna and Jolene- found themselves on the brink of perhaps their greatest story yet.

Sun, 26 May 2024 12:00:00 -0700

Still adrifit, Iris recounts the events of Feburary 21st, 2054. The threads of cases old and new begin to tie together in unsettling ways, and the Break Media collective finds itself drawn into a dangerous web of intruige. Amidst the chaos and uncertainty, the lines between journalism and personal involvement begin to blur, leaving Iris with more questions than answers.



IRIS Episode 3: The Washington Jungle

Sun, 09 Jun 2024 12:00:00 -0700

What do a mysterious symbol, violent drone attacks, and environmental existentialism have in common? The members of the Break Media collective are determined to figure it out. Their desperate search for information in a world of surveillance leads them to the fringes of society -- from sewers, to border towns, to a tech cult compound -- where it takes their combined charisma and ingenuity to start piecing together the seemingly disparate pieces of an increasingly complex puzzle.


IRIS Episode 4: A Third Man

Sun, 23 Jun 2024 14:11:01 -0700

As Iris' health deteriorates on the boat, she launches into her first account of March 2nd, "the day that went three ways."

Despite questions about the wisdom of seeing the story through, Iris and Kris head off to visit the Gregory estate. Kris' recordings follow him into the world of Rhys Gregory, the wealthy and influential clean energy mogul facing myserteous death threats.

Kris must tread a treacherous path of deception and intrigue as he endeavours to earn Rhys's trust while snooping for the answers Break Media needs to connect the threats of their narrative.
