Think of this podcast as the history of people you think you know. Written in second person, Imagined Life paints an intimate picture of the lives of well-known figures—inventors, writers, performers, popular icons—by placing you in their shoes. After a short preview and introduction, it launches into the story. It becomes a fun game to see if you can guess who the person being profiled is before the big reveal. Some stories are dark, some inspiring and many have twists and turns. All stories give a more human face to people you may see in the news or on the big screen. You might find out you’re closer to celebrity than you imagined!
Where to start?: Because episode titles are intentionally ambiguous, I recommend just starting at the beginning.
