The Behind the Picture Podcast was born from a simple idea conceived by Big Picture students Ti and Dredin in the spring of 2024. What started as a creative spark quickly grew into a project with the help of their mentor and a camera. They began putting together content and their vision started to take shape.
Seeking to add a unique touch, Ti approached his classmate Ian and asked him to create a theme song for the podcast. Ian eagerly accepted the challenge and composed a variety of samples to choose from. After Ti and Dredin selected their favorite, and Ian expressed interest in officially joining the team. And thus, the Behind the Picture Podcast evolved from an idea to a collaborative effort.
In March 2025 the group was invited to be guests on the Innovate to Educate podcast at WCNY to discuss the Behind the Picture Podcast, which can be listened to below or at the episode page here.
Ti decided to leave the podcast to focus on his art at the end of the 2025 school year. He will continue to occasionally contribute behind the scenes as an artist for title cards.
The podcast was invited to attend the Big Picture Big Bang in Providence, RI in the summer of 2025. It was an incredible experience and we are grateful to have had the opportunity. Ian took a camera and documented the experience, so we will have an episode posted soon.
