Studio BOTH/AND started with a six month roadtrip across America. It was 2015, and the country was incredibly polarized; but founder Josh Hallmark found two things that continually brought people together: community and storytelling. The shared love of a place, idea, or experience often united people, despite their political or cultural differences. And it was the stories of that love that reached people in impactful ways: The idea that the best and most productive media was storytelling built by and rooted in community. Since 2015, that mission was manifested first through podcasting, then through social outreach, and finally through community events. And so became Studio BOTH/AND, where we believe we do more good when we see the world through a lens of both/and rather than either/or.
