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

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

Conovision: The Spirit of Storytelling ·

2026/03/18

A journey through myth, psyche, and prophecy, where old stories find new ways to tell themselves.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

Reality Check: How Our Stories Create the World We See

Conovision: The Spirit of Storytelling ·

2026/02/18

What if reality isn’t just something we observe—but a story we’re constantly helping to create?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

2026/01/14

In a world that’s forgotten how to listen, two voices follow stories like breadcrumbs back to human connection. 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.Cono responds, opening the door to Ernest Kurtz and Katherine Ketcham’s The Spirituality of Imperfection, and steps into the odd,

Messengers of Music: The Stories Hiding Between the...

Conovision: The Spirit of Storytelling ·

2025/12/10

How music becomes legend, and the stories hiding inside every beat.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

2025/11/26

A journey through jazz-colored words, Bard-born rhythm, and the art of becoming someone else.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

The Shadows That Skate Beside Every Story We Tell

Conovision: The Spirit of Storytelling ·

2025/11/12

The strange friendship between ego and soul, still skating circles around each other.Somewhere between the mirror and the mask, the self starts to argue. One voice wants to lead, another wants to vanish, and somewhere in between — the truth clears its throat. Dr. James Hollis joins the fray like a calm storm, the Jungian interpreter of the unconscious, reminding us that the psyche never sleeps, it’s just translating the riddles the soul sends when the ego stops pretending. A drill sergeant

2025/10/29

An ode to the static, heart, and magic of radio’s past.It begins in the color between colors — a tribute to Word Jazz pioneer Ken Nordine and Beige, the anti-color, the void, the quiet hum between stations. There, Jim slips into a broadcast daydream where words melt into jazz and voices bend reality like soundwaves in a tin antenna. Suddenly, the dial turns — and we tune through the static to the crackling kingdom of FM radio, where two radio legends, Brother Jake Edwards and Terry

2025/10/15

When machines learn to tell stories, what do they reveal about us?Once upon a bandwidth, the machines began to talk back. Conovision turns its curious eye toward the age of artificial intelligence — where machines think, talk, and maybe even dream about ruling the world at the inaugural A.I. G7 summit, hosted by the ghost of Stephen Hawking. We drift through the uncanny poetry of artificial intelligence — from Alexa’s recipes for jealousy and lunar currency to HAL 9000’s velvet-voiced

A twisted fairytale and a radio legend remind us why storytelling is the truest spirit of Conovision.What makes a story come alive? In this episode, we wander through the soul of storytelling itself — how tales give shape to the invisible, clothe metaphors in color, and connect us in ways nothing else can.First, a fractured fairytale: Hansel and Grendel (yes, with a d), where roast pigs, candy zoning laws, and Beowulf lawsuits collide in a twisted Grimm-meets-satire tale.Then, the mic opens

Life, surfing, and radio collide in a story about how we ride the waves that shape us.Conovision begins by riding the waves of creation itself, drifting from the ultimate origin story—the birth of life on Earth—into a meditation on how surfing, philosophy, and freedom intersect in Aaron James’ Surfing with Sartre. From there, the journey crashes headlong into the vivid and often outrageous radio adventures of legendary broadcaster Jesse Dylan, whose stories of family, reinvention, and
