Curious Matter Anthology is a multi-award-winning fully immersive fiction podcast. It's a bridge between past and present, a time machine that takes listeners back to the golden era of pulp fiction, and then catapults them back into the future. It's an ode to an era of science fiction, whose stories have influenced some of the greatest filmmakers of our time, and it's a tribute to the largely unrecognized authors who penned these tales.

“The goal is to challenge folks.” Glenn Davis reflects on his work as an actor, producer, and Artistic Director of Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf Theater. (Is it possible Marc Antony might just be too good a person?)

“Who am I called to be?” Visionary artist and producer Charlique C. Rolle expounds on her efforts to love recklessly, build faithfully, and create fearlessly.

“We’re going to have to stay informed and fight back”: Playwright Jeffrey Solomon and actress Zuleyma Guevarra discuss the making of DeNovo, what leads to mass migration, why it’s our responsibility as U.S. Citizens to see people as human beings and what we can do to help refugees who are on the brink of being deported to death.

New York based not-for-profit theater company Houses on the Moon, and playwright Jeffrey Solomon creates acclaimed documentary plays. DE NOVO recounts the life and death of a Guatemalan teenager, Edgar Chocoy, who was deported after a failed asylum bid in the USA and murdered by the very group he testified would execute him were he to be returned to that country.

“Whatever you do well, it contributes” - Michael Potts on what he does well, from Shakespeare to August Wilson, and how playing the long game got him where he is today. (With fond remembrances of Chadwick Boseman).

“The themes remain the same.” Actor / Director Harry Lennix expounds on the themes of friendship, politics, religion, the evolution of Black Nationalism, what it takes to be a successful revolutionary and why Julius Caesar may be the greatest person to have ever lived.

Crooked cops, runaways, and divorcees collide in a female-forward, "west-of-center" take on the classic noir.
