Hearthbound Premieres on All Podcast Platforms
Hearthbound: An Untelling of the Odyssey premiered on June 3rd, 2025. A 10-episode queer reimagining of the Odyssey, set across a post-apocalyptic Great Basin, Hearthbound is a love story, a road trip, and a ballad for ecological restoration. It features familiar characters like Calypso, Circe, and Helen in new guises and includes an original indie folk soundtrack.
The two-episode premiere, “Episode 1: Telemachus” and “Episode 2: Trinacria,” is directed by Jack Calk (Static Man in Archive 81), written by Jo Chiang (The Other Violet in The Strange Case of Starship Iris), music directed by Ginger Dolden (Jimmy Kimmel Live!), and sound designed by Levi Sharpe (My Roommate from Hell), with music production by Pete Lanctot (Pete and the Stray Dogs).
In their review, Fiction Frequency writes, “[This] podcast is going to be a favorite. Bring headphones. Bring tea. Bring a person you care about, or at least a dog.”
