From the publisher

A fortnightly horror audio drama. Spirit Box Radio is a cosy horror fiction podcast about a radio show for enthusiasts of all things arcane. The show has recently been taken over by Sam Enfield, a former postboy with no experience in the arcane arts, following the disappearance of the previous host. Sam soon discovers there are more than ghosts haunting the show, and finds himself amidst a mystery which threatens everything he knows about the world beyond his tiny basement broadcast studio, and maybe even himself. With a whole host of supporting characters from knife-wielding lesbians and truth-knowing lawyers to angry bog-witches and hot-coded florists, the world of SBR is brought to life by a cast of majority LGBTQ+ actors from across the world. Spirit Box Radio started airing in November 2020. It now has almost 100 episodes and won the The People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Fiction Podcast of 2021, and a finalist in the 2021 Audio Verse Awards, at which it also won Best Guest Performance. Tune in, get spooky. Created by Eira Major for Hanging Sloth Studios. Transcripts available on the HSS website. Support this show on Ko-Fi or Patreon. Part of the Rusty Quill Network. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Feed Drop: Not Quite Dead, a show about vampires which just finished its final season

Hey folks, it’s Eira! Today I’m introducing to you another one of my own shows, Not Quite Dead! Not Quite Dead follows Alfie Dellon, a former nurse who has become entangled in the world of vampires. It starts with mauled patients showing up at the A&E where he worked, their throats torn out, apparently by human teeth. One near-death experience later, Alfie finds himself swapping blood with Casper, a vampire who he cannot seem to resist. But Casper is hiding things from Alfie. He says it’s to keep him safe, but Alfie isn’t quite sure he believes him. He wants to trust Casper, to believe he has his best interests in mind. But how can he believe that after Cas abandons him at his most vulnerable, with no explanation, and no indication of when he’ll come back? This show about vampires recently finished its final season, so the story is now finished, with 55 episodes waiting for you to sink your teeth into. The story starts small but gets bigger with each season, and the introduction of a vampire older than agriculture flips the whole thing on its head in Season Two. Here’s the show’s first episode to give you a taste of what to expect. If you enjoy it, you can find the rest of the show by searching ‘Not Quite Dead’ wherever you’re listing right now, or you can listen ad free over on Patreon at patreon.com/hangingslothstudios from just £2.Transcript for NQD Episode One: https://hangingslothstudios.com/nqd-1/ Hosted on Acast.
