What's It About?
BECOMING MOTHER NATURE centers around a 12-year-girl named Chloe who's sent to live with her eccentric grandmother. As she adjusts to her new environment, Chloe discovers the secret behind her family and must come to accept her own connection to the natural world. As such, Becoming Mother Nature is both a coming-of-age story and a reminder of the vitality of nature. The podcast serves as the first season of The Natureverse, by Gen-Z Media which presents a new, interconnected story every 10 episodes within the same podcast feed.
Is It Any Good?
A combination of supernatural adventure and emotional tween drama, this podcast is a character-driven story about discovering who you are versus who the world wants you to be. Becoming Mother Nature might have more to say than some listeners are expecting, but considering its target audience of tweens, it delivers the right messages at just the right time. Chloe's journey is sure to be relatable to tween listeners and their parents, offering a great spark for post listening conversation. The compelling story emphasizes the beauty and might of nature itself in a way that will make a positive impact on impressionable listeners. In addition to its rich story and themes, Becoming Mother Nature features stellar voice performances and immaculate production across the board.
