Ann's discovery leaves the kids still questioning their quest. However, Picasso's prophetic word rings true when they experience a new piece of evidence for the Man on the Mountain's existence.


Returning for its second season, The Encounter continues its journey as a richly produced serialized radio drama. Crafted by the School of Visual and Performing Arts and School of Communication and Digital Content at Liberty University, this narrative podcast immerses you in the lives of characters living within two distinct societies that appear flawless on the surface. Yet perfection is often a mirage, and the story follows a group of young protagonists who feel a deep, unsettling pull to look past the edges of their world. Their quest isn't just for adventure, but for something more profound-a search for meaning, truth, and what lies beneath the serene facade of their homes. Each episode builds a sound-rich tapestry that explores themes of belief, community, and the human spirit, weaving together elements of philosophy and speculative fiction. Tuning in, you'll be drawn into their personal struggles and triumphs as they question everything they've ever known. The depth of the production extends beyond the episodes themselves, with additional creative material like original soundtracks and conceptual art available for those who want to delve deeper into the world. This season promises to further unravel the mysteries introduced at the outset, making the podcast a compelling listen for anyone fascinated by stories that examine the structures of society and the timeless yearning for something greater.
