Cornucopia Radio Podcast 75 - The Gilded Imagination
Journey into your own imagination as the very headphones you listen to this story on will make a direct physical connection to your limbic system. Allowing one of our highly trained visualization therapists to talk to you directly and help you imagine the story you have wanted to tell for so long. Even though you feel you have lost your creativity and this is no longer a tale you have within you. The Gilded Imagination is the final production to be produced by Peter Beeston and Cornucopia Radio before he moves onto other projects. However all the work created over the past 17 years will remain available to listen to via our website and the different podcast feeds and nothing will be removed in the future. This brand new production which mixes audio asmr roleplay and action soundscapes is a personal journey that is meant to be a conclusion for Cornucopia Radio. Its all about the mindset of a person who creates stories like this. Suggesting that all these productions might come from another reality beyond ours. Starring Hannah Lloyd and Pip Mason and Andrew Biss.
