About The Prospectives
Series 4 // Paul Tuller
The Prospectives, written by Adam Hurly, is a serialized Instagram anthology that began in summer 2014. Four series have been published, with the most recent one—a podcast—having premiered in January 2018. (Subscribe at the top of this page.) Every story focuses largely on characters in the queer community, and all series have some root in Prospect Heights, Brooklyn. The fourth series also takes place in Berlin.
Each season of The Prospectives adopts a new format, plot, and characters. Follow @theprospectives on Instagram for updates and episodic illustrations.
The Prospectives Podcast
Series 4 // Paul Tuller
Series 4 (January-June 2018)
For the fourth series of The Prospectives, the format switched from serialized IG posts to a serialized and fictional narrative podcast. The story follows Luke Leder on an anti-heroic odyssey to the bass-booming depths of Berlin's queer and nightlife scenes, as he recounts the unlikely series of events that took him overseas. The anthology still lives on Instagram, with episodic illustrations by Paul Tuller. Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts and in most other major podcast players, like Google Play, Radio Public, CastBox, RadioFM, TuneIn, and more.
Apple Podcasts placed The Prospectives on its end-of-year “Best Podcasts of 2018” list.
