We are storytellers.

We have built upon the rich storytelling history of our ancestral traditions through more contemporary approaches in audio, video, and animation. However, we have not lost sight of the importance of building shared understanding and community through the most fundamental approach: the oral tradition. 

Mad Scientist Media (MSM) was launched in early 2019 with the original podcast Portraits in Color. The podcast and the media company grew out of the desire to tell authentic stories that could only be told through deeply personal experiences. With a passion for social justice, Dr. Frank Mirabal, MSM’s founder, vowed to prioritize stories and content creators that have been systematically left out of mainstream media.

We are proud to say that our values of community, social justice, equity and inclusion guide our decisions on the types of projects and brands that we align with. We strive for the greater good as a media company and will continue to pursue partnerships and projects that embody these values.

"When we engaged Mad Scientist Media, we knew that the Downtown businesses needed to have their voices shared, because they have endured so much and continue to struggle. However, it is through Dr. Frank’s vision and innate talent, that we see it is so much more than just sharing those voices, it is his ability to weave them into a moving, shared conversation, that connects us and engenders empathy, inspiration, and hopefully, our support."
-Danielle Schlobohm, Associate Director
