Modern Escapism

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 a discord group to see if any like-minded people fancied getting creative to 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 we successfully launched our Patreon and our sister podcast, a Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast called 'Do Dragons Dream of Scorched Sheep?'


--------------------


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

The achieve our mission goal, the show is split into fours sections.


1. The News

We discuss the latest news in pop cultures across movies, tv, gaming and more


2. The Nexus

After this each of us bring some kind of media we've been consuming to review, dissect and discuss. This varies across all kinds of things, ranging 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. Weekly Feature

Once we've finished the news & reviews, it's onto our weekly feature. These range across all kinds of fun ideas, from our favourite things in various media, to fun concept episodes and knockout episodes where we battle it out to determine the "best of" something. Check out the episode list on the home page to see so the things we've done so far.


4. 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.

This is Modern Escapism, let us aid in your procrastination.
