Hidden within the music, there are stories. Inside the stories, there are melodies.
Connected, they create harmonies.
“Connections” is a limited-series audiodrama podcast, where short stories inspired by the We Talk of Dreams album are brought to life. Whether standing braced on a blustery seaside cliff, taking a new step forward into the unknown, or channel surfing alone through radio static, each story contains a unique insight into the world, its challenges, and the music that connects us all.
A We Talk of Dreams production.
