History is a treasure trove of countless stories and characters that entertain, enthrall, surprise, inspire and inform. We have long known (but often forget or ignore) that, in Shakespeare’s words, “What’s past is prologue” -- that history can bestow lessons and context for the challenges and opportunities we encounter today, individually and collectively.
Such is the inspiration behind the creation of Robin’s Curious Travels, a multi-media property that seeks to unlock stories and people from history through the eyes of Robin, a precocious and persistently curious young girl.
In today’s information over-loaded, short attention-span environment, we use a popular, short-form entertainment platform – podcasts – to bring to life stories that engage and spark curiosity. In each adventure (episode) we strive to stimulate the audience’s own imagination and create an intimate feeling of being present at a decisive moment in history. We bring history forward to provide context and guidance for the challenges and opportunities we face today with the potential to inspire critical thinking.
