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.

Customer Reviews
invading my head
a creepy little story that’s engaging and fun to listen to especially at night. even has me dreaming about serial killers. however sydney sweeney, while a very talented actress, can’t voice act to save her life
Well….
Predictable fairly quickly into it and the backwards and forwards became a bit irritating at the end. It just felt like padding.
Was a good story but could have been better executed.
Predictable and unoriginal
Worked out 10 minutes into the 1st episode who & why the killer was going to be. Thought I’d see it through anyway only to be ‘rewarded’ with an ending that’s been done time & time again. The attempts to create intense scenes come across as irritating. I’ll read the source material to see if it’s an issue with the podcast or the story itself
