About Storytowns
Storytowns is a new storytelling podcast and tech start-up dedicated to creating an immersive rich experience for listeners to deeply connect to a place. Stories are a powerful way to breathe life into tourism experiences and can bring a visitor on a creative, nourishing and memorable journey while preserving the essence, character and histories of the places and its people.
Whether it’s an exploratory townscape, themed tour (such as street art trails), amazing objects or a quick stop in the landscape, Storytowns is an innovative channel that bridges the gap of knowledge and experiences often lost, overlooked or only available in traditional tourism mediums such as websites, brochures or plaques.
The aim is to seduce the listener into an authentic cultural exchange of connecting to the place through narrative and audio. The hyper-local content is focussed on engaging travellers, visitors, wanderers and the curios, who seek unique and interesting perspectives, histories or features told by the local characters who know them best.
