“In This Economy?” and similar random podcasts

In This Economy? is a set of six short, self-contained radio plays that rely on the agility and diversity of the gig economy to reimagine the process of creating scripted drama. The gig economy promises freelancers the freedom to choose the jobs they take on and the hours they work, and promises employers a vast pool of talent they can choose from on an as-needed basis. If this model expedites everything from web design to house cleaning, then why not use the same set of tools to make a lot of art, very quickly? From casting talent on Fiverr to crowdsourcing script elements, In This Economy? reinvents theater production for the modern workforce.
