The Golden Room

Dreams, black holes, a special door, a golden room...

2014 / John Jacobs / Julie Shapiro / Soundproof, ABC RN, Australia

Dreams, black holes, a special door, a golden room...

Put on your headphones, find a cozy spot, and tuck in for a bedtime story from down under. Nothing less than life, death, love, the families we make, and the risk of losing it all - in just six minutes.

The Golden Room is the first in a series of Bedtime Stories from the Australian Broadcasting Corporation's RN show Soundproof. It was produced by John Jacobs with executive producer Julie Shapiro, and was written by Karina Quinn.

Before you drift off - two interviews for the price of one! First up, John Jacobs on dub reggae inspired sound design. Then, former Third Coast artistic director Julie Shapiro's first missive home... in Behind-the-Scenes.
