Tell me about how the concept of Storyrabbit evolved and what drew you to it.
Sometimes it’s actually quite difficult to figure out the context for places and easily learn about them.
lightbulb moment - about what we were doing with Treefort’s premium storytelling across all genres in audio.
Not just famous places, not just historical landmarks, but any intersection or part of the LA River.
It doesn’t just read a Wikipedia page; that’s not what this is.
Finally, there’s a way to decode the world.
Dominic Monaghan: I’ve known Treefort Media for quite a while now.
This is a company that, in a lot of ways, specializes in the audio world.
It just seemed like a very on-brand idea for the way that I travel.

Can you talk about how Storyrabbit utilizes AI and location-based features to enhance the storytelling experience for users?
Kelly Garner: Before we had these tools available, I had a similar dream.
But the world is a really big place and physical production takes a very long time.
There’s not enough time to even consider covering the entire Earth.
How do we do that globally?"
That’s allowed us full coverage of the world.
Well, there’s a lot of ice there, so maybe that’s not the best place.
I’m moving too fast!
Everyone has different interests, and you might be obsessed with history or sci-fi or something else.
you’re able to really literally point anywhere on the map and hear captivating stories.
We’re not trying to say there’s a monolithic way to storytell.
We haven’t banked all of these stories, so each story that you create is unique.
Hopefully, they’ll spread the word as you all learn about new stuff.
Screen Rant: You have various filters, like The Wild Guide, which teaches us about nature.
As the narrator of The Wild Guide, what kind of stories and experiences can listeners expect from it?
They’re going to get looked after because these are symbols of nature.
For me, I see it all as one complete entity.
An elephant to me is as interesting as an elephant shrew or any other minuscule animal.
I want to know about them.
This is an app that shines a light on that secret world that we’re all living in.
I want to roll the dice."
Now you’re doing something that’s all about museums.
Now you’re doing something that’s all about the history of the city that you’re in.
We could not possibly encapsulate everyone’s interests because you might’t serve everybody.
We will always be updating, and there will always be new stuff.
We’re going to look after them.
Just because you dislike an animal doesn’t mean you have the right to kill it.
It shouldn’t necessarily work that way.
And if you’re curious about something, you’ll want to preserve it.
But all the stories had links to one another.
Even though you’re starting in a specific location, where you end up might be entirely different.
Dominic Monaghan: We’re always on the go as humans.
What’s around here?"
It’s building itself.
Screen Rant: One of the cool things about this app is the community-building feature in it.
Can you talk about that?
Kelly Garner: This is kind of an experimental path.
If you might sort of achieve that “Aha!”
moment or that discovery, then you do want to share that with your friends.
Screen Rant: Storyrabbit offers such a unique way to explore the world.
Can you provide any insight into some of the unexpected discoveries or learnings users have shared with you?
Kelly Garner: That’s a great question.
I think that’s been really fun to reveal.
And that’s a challenge, but I think we’re getting close to that.
We’re a nimble team and we love the feedback.
Dominic Monaghan: I like history.
I listen to a lot of history-based podcasts.
Also, I like this community idea.
Sometimes we feel a little self-conscious about it because you’re a bit of a nerd.
