The Forest Encounters Podcast series
The Forest Encounters Podcast is a ten-episode series that narrates human and non-human experiences with the forest through audio storytelling. Drawing on the ethos of nature writing as conceptualized by anthropologist Anna Tsing, the series seeks to engage listeners with poetic, affective, and reflective narratives. Six authors were selected during an open call, and each of the selected texts was recorded and mixed into a single podcast episode. In addition to these six episodes, the series includes four episodes from It Rains Differently, an original script written by Dušica Dražić, Tanja Šljivar, and Mirjana Dragosavljević.
Together, the ten episodes weave a complex and pluralistic audio tapestry of forest experience. The Forest Encounters Podcast amplifies individual voices while asking collective questions about grief and care, transformation and protest, memory and imagination. The diversity of form and voice across the episodes reflects the project’s commitment to openness, experimentation, and transdisciplinary dialogue.
