Introduction

Debuting in August 2020, Modern Escapism was created as an outlet for our team to get together and discuss their hobbies, interests and passions in life.

Before we started, none of the team had ever met in person, only via the internet. It was our host Oodles, who had previously done other podcasts who put a call out in on Discord to see if any like-minded people fancied getting creative and start a new podcast.

With a ragtag team of people with similar interests and creativity, ideas soon flowed. The shows format was decided, logos were created and soon after Modern Escapism was born. Over the months we became close friends, tightened up our format and even added an additional member when Candy joined the crew in May 2021. We've gone from strength to strength, building a passionate audience and honing our craft. 

In June 2021 we successfully launched our Patreon and our sister podcast, a Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast called 'Do Dragons Dream of Scorched Sheep?'. Since then we have  also launched new podcasts 'Deep Dive Lounge' a half hour 1 to 1 interview special series and 'Smash That Glass', a podcast celebrating woman in media & history.

Our Mission

To aid and abet your procrastination, to help you get away from the doldrums of the real world for a couple hours and help you seek out new entertainment to enjoy.

The Show's Format

To achieve our mission goal, the show is split into four sections.

1. Biggie's Breaking News

Each week we discuss the latest news in pop culture across movies, tv, gaming and more.

2. Reviews

Each week we bring some kind of media we've been consuming to review, dissect and discuss. This varies across all kinds of things from TV, films, games, books, music, wrestling, comics, podcasts and everything in between. Our aim is to hopefully recommend (or help you avoid) things out there that you can consume yourself.

3. Listener Feedback. 

Our listeners are the most important thing about our podcast. Without you, we wouldn't be here and we thank every single of you that listens. This is why each week we encourage our listeners to write in and get involved with our main topic, offering up their take on what we're discussing.

4. What's Up In Candyland

The inner workings of Candys mind are a thing that no one person has been able to work out. Each week Candy gets to release to those thoughts in a fun segment where she brings something weird and wonderful to us. to educate, horrify or laugh at. Her minds has no limits.
