Conference Call

Radio journalist Charlotte Dunn (Emma Roberts) investigates the untold story of fallen tech wunderkind Julie Burke (Elizabeth Henstridge) as she launches a new venture with entrepreneurs Jed and Joel Toade (Gregory Stees and Jeff Ward). Best known for inventing the “DishJack,” a made-for-TV product that was a runaway success, the Toade Bros (as they like to be called) have recruited Julie to help them create their next big invention. They organize a kickoff call, in which Julie is introduced to their… unorthodox working style. This Pilot is released as part of the Tribeca Audio Storytelling Official Selection in the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival. Subscribe now to be the first to listen to the full series, slated for release in Fall 2022.

Starring Elizabeth Henstridge, Jeff Ward, Gregory Stees and Emma Roberts, join Julie Burke as she partners with eccentric entrepreneurs "The Toade Bros.” Julie patiently helps the Toades desperately pitch their half-baked ideas to a string of bewildered investors. Poring over hours of cringeworthy recorded phone calls from this oddball tech company, our (fake) investigative podcaster, Charlotte Dunn, delivers a story of incompetence, fraud, and betrayal. After the Toades manage to do the unthinkable, Julie is left with no choice but to take action. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
