Ep. 1 – The Whisperer in Darkness

An unexpected phone call turns Matthew Heawood’s attention to a mystery in the gloom of Rendlesham Forest; folklore, paranormal, otherworldly? Up for debate, but fertile ground for a new investigative podcast, that’s for sure. One question still lingers, will our host be re-joined by his roaming researcher, Kennedy Fisher? The duo’s last update patched together frantic updates from Baghdad, as they pursued suspected occultists in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Very little hope lingered of solving the mystery, and maybe even less that Kennedy would return home safe… But for now, a new investigation calls. Following the success of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, Radio 4 commissions a return to this HP Lovecraft-inspired universe. Once again, the podcast embraces Lovecraft’s crypt of horror, braving the Sci-Fi stylings of The Whisperer in Darkness. Episode One Henry Akeley, an ex-student from Dr Eleanor Peck’s folklore and witchcraft course, has gone missing, and Heawood and Kennedy decide whether or not to investigate. But first, there are threads to tie up from their last mystery podcast 'The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward.' Cast: Kennedy Fisher.........................Jana Carpenter Matthew Heawood....................Barnaby Kay Eleanor Peck.............................Nicola Walker Henry Akeley.............................David Calder Producer: Karen Rose  Director/Writer: Julian Simpson  Sound Recordist and Designer: David Thomas Production Coordinators: Sarah Tombling & Holly Slater  Music by Tim Elsenburg A Sweet Talk Production for BBC Radio 4

Knowing almost every single of h.p.lovecraft’s stories I’m absolutely stoked by this adaption. Old stories wrapped in a contemporary investigation gives me shivers every time I listen to it. Please never stop creating new seasons 🦑
Loving it
