Explicit content warning
01/07/22 • 52 min
Join us and transmedia producer, Jeff Gomez as we explore the story world of Ultraman! An IP that has existed since the 1960’s, Ultraman has gone through 3 generations with 16 total Ultraman reincarnations. Ultraman is the Japanese Superman, hailing from Nebula M78, who defend humanity against a legion of destructive giant monsters and scheming aliens called Kaiju.

While we spoke on some of the lore and current storylines of Ultraman, we primarily focused on the backend of transmedia (Jeff Gomez doesn’t need our help with content) and all the great things his company, Starlight Runner, are doing to engage American audiences with an iconic Japanese IP. They are developing an audience building platform, Iceberg Theory, that creates an interactive live streaming experience, which has grown their audience during the pandemic. Soon to be available to all creators, the goal of the platform is to help creators build audiences with new IP.
In addition to Ultraman and its transmedia workings, we spoke about how any story world needs to find its Apostles and the potential of the metaverse.
Take a listen with a notepad, you’ll want it!

SWE #10 Lake Effect Collab with Dominique Jessen, Sarah White, & Sara Jumper
Join us and creators Dominique Jenssen, Sara Jumper, and Sarah White as we explore their story world, 1332 and the Lake Effect Collab! 1332 isn’t an obscure reference to the medieval times, but of the amazing depth of the largest freshwater lake in the world, Lake Superior as well as the collab’s first film project. The group are all dancers for the Duluth Ballet, and the connection Duluthians have with the lake is deep.

A combination of trying to expand dance to new mediums, highlight the lake’s importance to Duluth, and to put Duluth’s thriving art scene in the limelight, the Lake Effect Collab aims to start their journey with a three-part dance film. This film will be a collaborative effort with Duluthian artists, and they plan on expanding into an amazing summer festival where they can show the country and world what Duluth has been up to.
We spoke about paganizing the summer festival to honor the lake, dance’s uphill battle with availability, and a podcast idea connecting Duluth artists to the lake.

SWE #12 The Come Up with Ireon Roach and Justin Burns
Join us, writer/creator Justin Burns, and actress Ireon Roach as we explore their story world of The Come Up! Winner of best dramatic pilot and best dramatic actress at Catalyst Content Festival, The Come Up is a unique limited series following three Chicago high schoolers who use slam poetry to navigate their increasingly complicated lives. Inspired by the creator and cast's time going to high school together in Chicago Public Schools, this inspiring character study offers a glimpse into the mental states of teenagers struggling to find themselves in a city where it's easy to be lost.
Watch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1DSUHacpMYI
The power of this story is in how this group of friends band together through tragedy, finding their strength in their voices through slam poetry. We often forget the stress there is on a high schooler, especially one who is under constant threat of school closings, teacher walk outs, and other budgetary issues that have nothing to do with them. As we dove into the world, we were able to identify mental health and communities in Chicago already engaged in slam poetry went hand in hand in building their audience.
It was a great, Chicago-focused episode!
