Adaptation Nation
Welcome to "Adaptation Nation," the podcast where hosts Russel Johnson and Matthew Gray dive into the fascinating world of story transformations. Every episode is a lively exploration of how our favorite narratives leap from one form of art to another - from the immersive depths of books to the visual splendor of movies, the expressive power of plays, the rhythmic soul of songs, and the interactive worlds of video games.
More than just a podcast, Adaptation Nation is a celebration of the art of storytelling across mediums. Johnson and Gray use a blend of humor and keen insights into the origins and evolutions of these artistic adaptations.
The discussions are engaging, the information enlightening, and the vibe irresistibly fun! Join us on this adventure across the vast landscape of adaptation, where we connect the dots, explore the differences, and revel in the creative process that binds these stories together.
Because everything you love, is probably based on something else.
