About the show

The Key of Imagination is dedicated to Rod Serling's masterpiece: The Twilight Zone. But, our podcast will be a little different than other Twilight Zone shows you might have listened to. Research has shown that experiencing awe leads to fuller, more meaningful connections with humanity; it can help push back against depression; and it can improve one's sense of well-being. I've been using the Twilight Zone in my college classrooms for over 20 years for this very purpose. We're going to look for the awe in each episode. Join us, and see the Twilight Zone in a new way with me, Dr. Joe Meyer.
