Realm, the largest independent fiction podcast network, today announced its board of advisors as well as plans to adapt several of their audio projects for television.
The board, appointed as Realm celebrated its one-year anniversary in Spring 2022, includes change makers from the entertainment, technology, and media sectors whose counsel will guide the company into the future. They are Lauren Zalaznick, who has advised Gimlet and Ira Glass’ Serial Productions; Michael Smith, NPR’s Chief Marketing Officer; Russell Binder, President of IP accelerator Striker Entertainment; and Marci Wiseman, award-winning producer and former Co-President of Blumhouse TV.
The company also announced the expansion of Realm IP into the Film/TV marketplace, formalizing deals with creatives like Wendy Calhoun (Empire), who is developing a TV adaptation of the Webby winner, If I Go Missing the Witches Did It with writer Pia Wilson; as well as executive producers Teri Weinberg and Danielle Claman Gelber (OneChicago), developing First Street, Realm’s timely Supreme Court drama; and Janet Zucker who is developing a TV adaptation of Bullet Catcher with writer Stephen Susco (The Grudge).
Realm has added several third-party content partners acquiring titles from Leviathan Audio Productions, Fool & Scholar, Observer Pictures, Storytellers Ink, and Violet Hour Media, whose show Hollow hit #2 this month on the Apple Fiction Charts.
“I’m delighted to announce this talented board of advisors with deep experience in audio, entertainment, and innovative brand building. Lauren, Michael, Russ, and Marci are exceptional leaders in their own right; their business acumen, vision and long-standing relationships will be essential to Realm’s growth as we continue to engage listeners with our award-winning, chart-topping series,” said Realm co-founder and CEO Molly Barton. “We are also truly excited about the opportunity to align with Wendy, Teri, Danielle and Janet to adapt our compelling storytelling for TV and bring some of our most popular and immersive franchises to life in a whole new way.”
Recently, Realm released the podcast Power Trip, an original dark comedy starring and executive produced by She-Hulk and Orphan Black star Tatiana Maslany with appearances by Grammy winner Lisa Loeb and Locke & Key’s Brendan Hines. Other releases include The Co-Founder, a Silicon Valley workplace comedy starring Sunita Mani and Alexandra Shipp (with vocal performances from skating legend Tony Hawk) and Marigold Breach, the cyberpunk action-romance podcast starring The Good Place co-stars Jameela Jamil and Manny Jacinto which rose to No. 2 in the fiction charts upon its debut.

The only clue: a set of voice memos detailing an investigation into a group of influencers she suspected were...

John Carpenter and Tatiana Maslany are among the top creators setting up podcasts for audio firm Realm.
The Halloween co-creator and his wife Sandy King Carpenter are scaring up three series starting with Roanoke Falls, an atmospheric thriller about the fear of the unknown, the dangers of superstition, and the depths of desperation.
The series, which will come out in October 2021, follows a woman who investigates a string of murders in the second Roanoke settlement, leading her to a serial killer from the original voyage who waits in the woods.
The pair will follow Roanoke Falls in winter 2022 with Angel to Some and Furnace. Angel to Some follows a chronically ill Catholic student who calls on a guardian angel to protect her — but the angel who shows up instead wants her dead. Furnace is centered around a former tech darling who sets out to start a utopia called The Furnace,...

Turning the Glass Around Presented by Work/Space Collective Directed by Heidi Grumelot Teatro Circulo 64 East 4th St., NYC October 16-November 1, 2014
Pia Wilson's new play, Turning the Glass Around, interweaves the naturalistic and the theatrical, the rational and the seemingly irrational, and the everyday and the supernatural in order to interrogate other, contemporary American hybridities.
The interracial marriage of Philip and Daina Lee (Don Castro and Carmen Gill) comprises the vehicle for Wilson's deconstruction of "America" and its “Dream” in the tradition of playwrights such as Suzan-Lori Parks and David Henry Hwang. The death of Philip's father, an immigrant restauranteur who loved all things stereotypically American, throws successful businessman Philip into a crisis of guilt and self-doubt. His colleagues have nicknamed Philip “The Asian Tiger” but mock his Korean background behind his back, and Philip’s firing means that he and Daina, a wealthy, well-connected African-American, are soon finding...
