The *Distraction Therapy* podcast aims to explore radio in a way that broadens the traditional listening experience, making it more immersive and interactive. It utilises soundscapes that incorporate historical references and natural environments to create thoughtful and artistic spaces for listeners. This approach views radio as a medium with evolving possibilities for creative expression and audience engagement, offering a different perspective on conventional radio broadcasting.
Listeners of the *Distraction Therapy* podcast have the flexibility to engage either actively or passively, allowing them to choose their own level of involvement. Whether they immerse themselves deeply or simply let the sounds wash over them, the experience will be unique to each individual, shaped by their personal engagement and interpretation.
Radio, as an underexplored creative medium, holds significant value in its ability to help people delve into their unconscious and uncover deeper connections with symbols and myths. Unlike information-driven programmes, which focus on conveying facts and data, radio has the unique potential to tap into the listener’s inner world, offering a space for reflection and introspection. This medium allows for an exploration of the subconscious, where symbolic and mythic elements can emerge, providing insights and connections that more conventional forms of media may overlook.
