Based on the short story by Stephen King, Strawberry Spring is a scripted podcast set against the backdrop of the sixties revolution on the campus of New Sharon College. We follow a generation of students who don't trust authority, the futile efforts of the local police, and a young, determined reporter as he chases the bloody trail of Springheel Jack, an unrelenting, modern-day Jack the Ripper. After vanishing and leaving his murders unsolved, Jack is back - along with a new Strawberry Spring, a weather pattern with an unusual fog bank that rolls in every eight years. Using the fog to hide his tracks, he taunts New Sharon with fresh kills, each murder more violent than the last. The 8-episode season stars Garrett Hedlund, Milo Ventimiglia, Sydney Sweeney, Herizen Guardiola, Al Madrigal, Ken Marino, and Brec Bassinger.

Want to love it.

I love Stephen King and I liked the adaptation. I can get behind Hedlund’s narrative style. Ventimiglia and Marino tried their best to breathe life into this drama, but Guardiola and Sweeney killed it. Their apathetic, monotone voices just make it impossible to be as good as it could have been.

Pain mom ,

There are more ads than story

Couldn’t make it halfway - hard to get into a story that’s constantly interrupted . Too bad.

Nah

SK is my favourite author, but I’ve only made it halfway through the first episode and it’s ALL exposition for the listener’s benefit. Characters talking about things to other characters that they already know or should already know but they need to let the audience know and it’s done in a way that’s way too obvious. I hate obvious exposition. Won’t be able to listen to the rest. Acting is pretty lame too. Sorry.. this is a fail
