SWE #22 A Story World in 8 Days - Winter 2026

Send us Fan Mail Kicking off Season 3 of the Story World Explorers Podcast is our inaugural transmedia competition "A Story World in 8 Days"! We had the absolute pleasure of having 8 fantastic artists from around the world participate in a intense, 8 day world building competition. The only things they knew was that they had 8 days to build a fully functioning world and that they'd have to present it to a panel of judges in 15 minutes. If that sounds impossible, you underestimate the talent of these creatives! This episode is a compilation of the competition. What took 8 days and many recordings has been synthesized down to the necessities, using ourselves as narrative deceives to give context to how the competition unfolded. You'll find out what theme was chosen, what teams were assigned, what worlds were created, and finally which team won the golden laurel of the first of many "A Story World in 8 Days". Thank you to both Chris Masson for suggesting, developing, and helping produce the entire competition, and to our amazing guest judge Houston Howard whose transmedia expertise and insight gave our participants invaluable feedback.
