FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The sci-fi audio drama serial “Relativity” was named today as a Platinum Winner in the Audio Production/Radio/Podcast category of the 15th Annual AVA Digital Awards.

“It takes my breath away,” says Lee Shackleford, creator and writer of the serial in which he also plays one of the lead roles. “The show’s been nominated for a lot of awards, but the AVA is a big deal and I never dreamed we’d have a chance.”

The AVA Digital Awards are administered and judged by the Association of Marketing and Communication Professionals (AMCP), one of the most respected evaluators of creative work in the marketing and communication industry. The AMCP announced the winners of the AVA Digital Awards on January 13th.

“Relativity” is a serialized adventure about a man who finds himself alone on a gigantic and badly-damaged spaceship hurtling toward another planet, and about the woman at Mission Control who fights valiantly to keep him alive. The story unfolds over sixty episodes, usually between ten and fifteen minutes each.

The climactic sixtieth episode was released in September 2020.

“Apparently a lot of people are now bingeing the whole thing and loving it,” says Shackleford. “I didn’t write the scripts with that in mind, so I’m delighted that the show still works that way.”

By a happy coincidence, the show’s co-star, Alana Jordan, who is a popular entertainment journalist in North Hollywood, was also named today as a winner in the AVA Digital Awards, but for a different project entirely. Her award, the Golden “Creator with a Conscience,” was for an on-air interview she conducted on the topic of body positivity.

All of the AVA Digital Awards winners are listed on the website at www.avaawards.com.

“Relativity” can be heard on all major podcast platforms and on the web at relativitypodcast.com.
