Mission
Auricle Productions is an independent nonprofit media organization. Our mission is to deepen understanding of human relationships with each other and the natural world. Our most significant activity is the production of Threshold, a Peabody Award-winning audio documentary program that is distributed as a podcast and public radio show. Our show is rooted in narrative storytelling, and we examine scientific, cultural, historical and philosophical themes and intersections found in complex environmental issues. Our long-form journalism is richly crafted and meticulously edited, with narrative arcs and intersectional throughlines that have uncommon depth and perspective. Additionally, the sound design creates layers of dimension, emotion, and resonance to the listening experience and content.
