By: Joe Favorito Narrated, researched, and interviewed by James Andrew Miller -- with a combination of wit, intensity and occasional irreverence -- "Origins" will strive to reveal the unexpected, the unpredicted, and those moments of luck and fate that no one sees, or saw, coming. These will include pivotal junctures, trapped doors and level jumps. On "Origins," listeners will hear firsthand from those who were "there at the start," who hatched The Great Ideas, or who arrived in time to turn those great ideas into formidable realities. "Origins" will chart the pedigree of success, celebrating entrepreneurship and examining the frustrations and nightmares that, suddenly or inevitably, occur along the way. Launching this summer, "Origins," will be based on individual topics -- a historic album, a groundbreaking television show, a company that altered the way we consume media, or even a couple whose romantic relationship garnered widespread curiosity. All of these compelling and entertaining subjects will in some way, have helped create the world we live in today. "Origins" will be available for subscriptions and on demand via iTunes, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, TuneIn, and other distribution outlets.

When working on oral histories and other reporting, one of my favorite parts of the process has always been digging into the beginnings of journeys. I find early stage stories intoxicating, and love examining the factors that contribute to success or sometimes lead to setbacks, many of which seem incidental at the time but later prove pivotal. "This series will give us all the opportunity to hear from and learn from, some of the greatest names in many fields, and I am proud to partner with the team at DGital Media. With Origins, listeners will hear the actual voices of those in the arena who made these tremendous success stories possible," Miller says.
