Stories Across Borders
Stories Across Borders is Daniel’s fiction-focused podcast where he, along with his various guests, discusses stories told across a wide range of different mediums. The podcast follows a cyclical format where each set of four episodes follows a theme.
The first episode will always be a more general discussion based on the theme. The next two will focus on specific examples of that theme. The final episode in a cycle features a reading of a story - usually one written by Daniel himself for the episode - and follow-up discussion.
Stories Across Borders is also available on Spotify and YouTube.
Episode Four: Domino
In the final episode of the first theme cycle, we open with a reading of the prologue of Daniel’s book, Domino. Then, Daniel and Jon discuss the book itself and how Daniel’s approach to it relates back to previous discussions on disaster stories.
Episode Three: 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim
This episode is for the weebs. In the third episode focused on disaster stories, Daniel and Jon take a look at Vanillaware’s 2019 video game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim and how mixing disaster stories with other genres and exploring different methods of telling a story can elevate a work beyond a mash-up of different homages and references.
Episode Two: Don’t Look Up
In the second episode of the first cycle, the discussion on disaster stories continues. This time, Daniel and his returning guest, Jon Coenan, are putting a twist on things. Episode Two is focused on Adam McKay’s satirical disaster movie, Don’t Look Up (2021).
Episode One: Disasters
Stories Across Borders kicks off with a bang. The first cycle begins with “disasters” as its theme. Daniel Radford and guest, Jon Coenan, discuss just what makes a good disaster story and why these tales are so compelling.
