Luminary is launching two new podcasts this week on its Premium content network: Sworn by Tenderfoot TV, and Hyper-Thetical with Kerry Bishé from FilmNation Entertainment.
Sworn is a deep look into the current criminal justice system. It pulls back the curtain on the judicial ecosystem, exposing the untold stories and hard truths behind major cases. Host Philip Holloway, a defense attorney and former prosecutor with a background in law enforcement, not only digs into the legal aspects of these cases, but also the emotional consequences of their outcomes. In the season premier, Holloway investigates the problems with eyewitness testimony and the case of one innocent man who was put away because of faulty memory. (Wednesday, 6/5)
Hyper-Thetical is a genre-twisting, science fiction anthology podcast series that blends narrative storytelling with interviews featuring some of the brightest minds in science. What if a hostile attack took down our nation’s power grid? What if we could read minds? What if the supervolcano at Yellowstone erupted? The producers – who delivered up movies like Arrival and The Big Sick – take you into these hypothetical, near-future worlds using the power of story. (Friday, 6/7)
