When we launched Season 1 of Elucidity, it was a question: in a world of constant surveillance, is our inner world still our own? Because of your support, that “small” independent project hit #1 on the Apple Podcast thriller charts. We proved that we didn’t need a giant studio or a corporate marketing budget to strike a nerve; we just needed a story that felt urgent.
But as any of our listeners know, the conspiracy wasn’t finished.
The Evolution of the Protocol
In Season 2, the stakes move from our pockets and into the classroom. The “Lucidity” protocol has evolved, and the architects of this system are now targeting the minds of the next generation before they even have a chance to think for themselves. It is a story about the battle for free will in an age of algorithmic optimization.
Why Independence Matters: Story Over Studio
We’ve had offers to take this show to larger networks, but we’ve consistently said no. To keep the narrative raw and the “truth” unfiltered, we have to stay independent. This is why our mission for this season is Story Over Studio.
I am incredibly proud of the team we’ve assembled:
- Arsal is stepping into the Director’s chair to give this season a raw, cinematic edge.
- Arianna and Emily have spent months crafting scripts that are even more twisted than the first.
- I am back as Producer, ensuring we keep the microphones on and the production quality at the highest level.
Join the Resistance on Seed & Spark
Today, we are officially launching our Seed & Spark crowdfunding campaign. Our goal is to raise $1,500, every cent of which goes directly to our professional voice actors—the heart and soul of the show.
We aren’t selling physical merchandise; we are selling access. By backing us, you can unlock:
- The Inner Circle ($50): Every episode 48 hours early, plus the Digital Supporter Pack featuring exclusive concept art and script excerpts with our commentary.
- Voice Actor Cameo ($100): A scripted speaking role in Season 2, becoming a permanent part of the Elucidity universe.
- The Access Pass ($10): A digital thank-you in the official show notes.
Whether you’ve followed my work in film, podcasting, or even seen me coaching on the baseball field, you know that I believe in the power of independent voices.
Pledge. Follow. Share. Let’s turn the microphones back on and expose the truth together.
