Introducing GeoStories
We wanted to share our story platform GeoStories with you. Its taken us months and months of planning, research, ideation, writing, designing, testing on location and delivering GeoStories experiences in locations where visitors and residents alike could experience a story with audio, drama, graphics, sound, music and augmented reality through their mobile devices with episodes triggered by GPS technology
Why are we excited about this?
GeoStories is FREE to access on App Store and Google Play and the audio drama experiences can be accessed on location or whoever you are. we have set stories in the fabulous coastal town of Whitby where Bram Stoker was inspired to write Dracula, in York where Vikings once lived, in Bakewell in the Peak District, Derbyshire where witches were tried and in Eyam, Derbyshire where 400 years ago the residents experienced a lockdown not dissimilar to the lockdown we all endured four years ago during the COVID pandemic. These stories are all available on our app.
Please download our app and experience the stories for yourself
We are inviting you to download our app and experience our stories on location if you are close to the villages, towns and cities where we have taken inspiration or where you are located so you can immerse yourself in the drama and jeopardy that we have created through our characters and incidents. if you love stories, history, walking, audio dramas, podcasts and audio books, GeoStories will hopefully provide you with a different content experience through your mobile or tablet. Below is an extract from the drama set in Eyam Plague village called The Great Mortality - Siblings, Grace and Marshall Howe are tasked with the grisly job of removing those who have perished in the plague which has resulted in the village declaring its own lockdown. Both keeping their own secrets from each other as they endure the pandemic that they keeps everyone apart.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
