Atypical Artists (original) (raw)
Atypical Artists is a producer of audio fiction that spans genres, scope, and formats, from a diverse set of creators, all focused on one singular mission: make neat stuff with neat people. After creating the popular audio drama The Bright Sessions, Lauren Shippen founded Atypical Artists in 2019 with artists and friends Jordan Adika Cope and Briggon Snow, who each went on to create their own works with ARCS (2019) and Look Up (2021). Since its founding, Atypical Artists has served as executive producer on both Lauren’s new series, including two spin-offs of The Bright Sessions, as well as brand new fiction podcasts from talented creators, both established and up-and-coming.
