Terry Miles is a Canadian filmmaker, podcaster, writer, and musician. He was born in Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.[1]

Miles is influenced by his native Vancouver and the surrounding Pacific Northwest, and his podcasts are all set in Seattle.

Podcasts

Miles began his podcasting career in 2015 with The Black Tapes, a collaboration with Paul Bae.[2] The same year he began Tanis, where he also served as the voice actor for the showrunner Nic Silver. Both shows are in a documentary style and produced by Pacific Northwest Stories, a fictional radio program.[3] Even in interviews, Miles refers to Nic Silver as a real person and his cousin, maintaining the fictional universe.[4] Silver went on to create the Rabbits podcast, and The Last Movie podcast, a spinoff from Tanis. Miles worked with Parcast productions on Faerie, a Spotify exclusive, in 2020.[5] His latest podcast is Wildflowers, an Audible exclusive mini-series about the death of a high school influencer. Like his earlier works, it is set in the Pacific Northwest, but it is not presented in a documentary style.[6]

Other ventures

Miles was the lead singer/songwriter of the indie rock band Ashley Park.
