Play On Words is a podcast series that explores sound and radio as a medium of art. It examines broadcasting from a satirical and experimental standpoint through self-aware radio drama.
Julia, now faced with every piece of her fragmented identity, must decide what pieces of her culture and her history are worth saving, and which pieces she has to let go of. A cross country flight from the West Coast back to Ontario will hold every answer that lies ahead.
Julia, a mixed race woman at the cusp of adulthood is trying to find her place in the world when she has a chance encounter with her ancestral destiny during a protest in Vancouver. She must figure out how this new information about her past will send shock waves through her family's future.
