Sorry About The Murder

Today I would like to share a phenomenal show that I fell in love with a while ago, just as I was discovering audio drama podcasts. Actually, this one is so good I used it as a measuring stick - this was the level of a truly great show. Dirt - an Audio Drama follows Joseph Elo, a Seattle based tech celebrity who, one day, gets a mysterious letter in the mail from his grandfather - who passed away 30 years ago. This mystery leads Joseph on a hunt through the darkest corners of Washington state - and his family history. It’s a fascinating slow burn mystery with truly immersive sound - Kris the creator goes all over hell's half acre to record location sound, and really take you to these incredible places in the Pacific Northwest. There’s 3 full seasons to immerse yourself in, with the final Season 4 coming out very soon.  The show is brilliantly written, produced, and stars Kris Kaiyala.

This year the July 'Buck' Moon is today, July 21. So we're featuring a special standalone episode we made last year called The Ballad Of Buck Moon. The Ballad Of Buck Moon was originally made for an anthology series called Tales For Howling At The Full Moon. (there are some incredibly good one-off stories in that show, so please check it out.) Drew wrote and voiced the main storyteller - but it's brought to life by Jeff Lurie's beautiful guitar and gorgeous singing as our Balladeer. An early draft of Sorry About The Murder had already been written when we did The Ballad Of Buck Moon. But this is where we really honed that relationship between a homespun narrator and a simple guitar, which greatly informed our subsequent drafts and production of Murder. We hope you enjoy this cheeky episode while you enjoy the Buck Moon tonight.
