“Stranger than Stranger Things,” demonstrates and explains a psychological phenomenon called cryptomnesia, a situation when we mistakenly think we have an original concept but it is someone else’s and we fail to remember. An interview with Sydney musician, Melissa Kenny, presents her complex creative process and how she safeguards from cryptomnesia through a structured approach and exercising her memory. Since we are all susceptible to this strange behaviour, I encourage listeners to be curious rather than judgmental.

Dream Cycle is a podcast build through designing an audio soundscape that dynamically and fluently flowed between the realms of darkness (using deep tones) and light (contrasted with higher frequencies). The story of the podcast revolves around a curious-minded child, Benton, who we follow into a dream as he
