As a videographer, this podcast creator from Bandung realizes that his audio-visual works are quite complicated and perfectionist. “I have an idea and write a script. To be an artwork, you have to shoot, find the right talent, and all the other technical factors. When that script is executed carelessly, it will be visually poor.” He said.
The script he meant is a series entitled “Madar”, which tells of a young man graduating from criminology and a former convict, named Galang. The series explores criminal stories that must be solved in every episode.

It’s only been aired for one episode. Only about 300 listeners play. But I got attention from the Indonesian podcast application platform, inspigo and investors. They said that my work was genius, by taking a genre that had not been there before, criminal series,” said Handra.
