CHALLENGE
Bring to life the latest cutting-edge science of the senses into an Audible Originals immersive audio show for a global audience.
Audible wanted to create a new Originals series translating science into an experiential audio show to boost wellbeing, enhance learning and bring to life our lesser known sensory worlds, transforming complex scientific concepts engaging audio stories to empower and excite listeners.
CREATIVE CONCEPT
An experiential audio show exploring turning our hidden world of our senses into superpowers.
Hosted and created by Katherine and Robyn, the show translates neuroscience insights into a digital audio show. Built as a digital wellbeing resource, the show underwent 18 months of creative research, development and production to be an experiential learning tool to unveil new potentials for how the senses can help care and expand ourselves.
EXECUTION
Beyond 5 Senses - a 7-episode podcast series to harness our hidden sensory abilities.
Each episode deep dives into a different sense, exploring some we know, and many we never knew we had - meeting everyday characters and world leading science experts who teach us new tools to activate this into our lives. The pioneering show brings the science to life through dynamic storytelling and immersive sound design to help audiences learn about their hidden senses to improve health, longevity, creativity and heightened connection.
The senses are our gateway to the world around us, providing messages to our brain to make sense of our experience and provide sensory information to guide our connection to ourselves, others and environments. Beyond the 5 senses we know well, the latest science is revealing there are up to 58 senses that if we tap into more deeply, can be harnessed for greater wellbeing.
​
The 7-episode show covers Audition, Interoception, Olfaction, Proprioception, Touch, Pain and Synaesthesia speaking with world-leading experts like Anil Seth, Sahib Khalsa, and Rachel Herz. We learn about each sense through human interest stories of depleted, enhanced or modified sensory abilities.
​
By illuminating both familiar and lesser-known senses, the show celebrates the diversity of human sensory experiences, fostering compassion and empathy among its audience. Beyond 5 Senses aims to redefine how we perceive and harness our sensory superpowers, celebrating sensory diversity and the richness of us each as individuals.
“Templar Lewis and Landau have a great sense of their own silliness: after humming in harmony, a relaxing, grounding action, they collapse in laughter. I encourage you all to turn it on, tune in and drop out.”
