Samantha Hodder has explored the power of storytelling since she was five-years-old. Today she shares the behind-the-scenes stories that led her to the most remote spot on earth and why that story was nearly silenced forever. Four years of setbacks, separation from family, taking risks at the end of the world, and nearly losing everything to fire, only to start from scratch and then put everything on hold indefinitely.
"I wanted to be in another world, another zone. I wanted to communicate. I had a voice in me that just couldn't shut up and it needed to find a way out. So I looked for the story, because that's what humans do. We tell stories to help us understand ourselves and the world around us."
Why creators create? How creators create? What happens when they don't create?
Samantha Hodder has been making media across multiple formats for over two decades. An audio producer and writer, Sam publishes regularly on Medium and her Substack is called Bingeworthy, which is a newsletter about narrative podcasts that are just that good.
