Conovision: The Spirit of Storytelling

Conovision is all about stories — and the storytellers who bring them to life. Stories about art, culture, and philosophy. Stories that inform, entertain, and inspire. Stories that invite us to reflect on who we are and where we’re going.Hosted by Jim Conrad — a seasoned broadcaster and voice actor with over 40 years of experience, giving voice to the visions of others in film, radio, and television for a global audience — Conovision marks a new chapter: a platform for Jim to share the stories that matter most to him.On Conovision, you’ll hear stories of success and hard-won truths, love and laughter, and personal histories from people whose lived experiences offer wisdom for the modern age.At its heart, Conovision is a living archive — a home for spoken-word prose, poetry, and what Jim calls “Aural Intelligence”: a place where sound, storytelling, and meaning come together to spark reflection and connection.Production and sound design by GGRP Studios in Vancouver, Canada.

  Hit and Myth in the Modern Mind: Old Patterns in New Stories

  Mar 18, 202632 minS0

  <p>A journey through myth, psyche, and prophecy, where old stories find new ways to tell themselves.</p><p><br></p><p>The trail opens in old territory. A few ancient Greeks are already there, noting humanity’s curious habit of wandering into its own fate. Pride, blind spots, unseen forces—threads quietly woven long before anyone sees the pattern. The tragedians knew it. Philosophers named it. Humans kept walking into it anyway. Further down the road, a modern voice joins in. The reflections of Dr. James Hollis drift through the landscape, wondering where the gods went—and why something restle...

  Reality Check: How Our Stories Create the World We See

  Feb 18, 20261h 7mS0

  <p>What if reality isn’t just something we observe—but a story we’re constantly helping to create?</p><p><br>Reality is a slippery thing. The moment when the floor feels solid until it doesn’t. Observation alters what is observed. The harder you stare, the stranger it gets: Heisenberg’s uncertainty, Jung’s archetypes, Pauli’s synchronicity—ideas that suggest reality isn’t a hard-edged machine, but a living mystery with hidden architecture beneath it. Even Chesterton is winking at you with his “spiritual puns.”<br>Reality slips further, into the shimmering borderlands of Julio Olalla’s essay on the overlapping...

  Architecture of Connection: The Stories That Bring Us Back Together

  Jan 14, 202637 minS0

  <p>In a world that’s forgotten how to listen, two voices follow stories like breadcrumbs back to human connection. </p><p>Stories are strange creatures. They’re how we once found each other—moving slowly, making room for silence, carrying their meaning in the pauses. Stories curl around stories, language stretches its limbs, and sense quietly knocks from the inside.</p><p>Cono responds, opening the door to Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham’s The Spirituality of Imperfection, and steps into the odd, invisible architecture of connection—where words bend, listening deepens, and storytelling does more than explain. He wanders th...

  Messengers of Music: The Stories Hiding Between the Notes

  Dec 10, 20251h 4mS0

  <p>How music becomes legend, and the stories hiding inside every beat.</p><p>Long before we named it music, something inside us was already listening. Long before orchestras or amplifiers, before radios or records, before even the first instrument dared to vibrate. Cono slips between eras and instincts into Dr. Aditi Subramanian’s luminous essay on the evolution of music, reminding us that rhythm once lived in the body alone—a pulse in the dark, a survival chant in the bones, an ancient signal whispering us into harmony.<br>From that primordial heartbeat, the story unwinds through the lives of t...

  Bards of the Booth: The Stage Where Voices and Stories Take Form

  Nov 26, 20251h 11mS0

  <p>A journey through jazz-colored words, Bard-born rhythm, and the art of becoming someone else.</p><p>In a world where every word has a shadow, this one begins on the stage of all stages — with Shakespeare, the original algorithm of the human heart. His quill becomes a mirror, his sonnets the circuitry of consciousness, still whispering in our memes and movies four centuries on — proof that great storytelling never really ages, it just changes costumes. Meanwhile, Ken Nordine’s “Ecru” paints the air with double-talking hues — a jazz-colored koan on truth and contradiction. And into this kaleidoscope two veteran actors step...
