Phantom Pulse

COMING SOON! Sign up to our Patreon for free to stay up to date. From the creator of The Bright Sessions comes a thrilling new original rock audio drama. Phantom Pulse is the story of a 90s rock band going out on their very first tour. But this band isn't like any other–they don’t just play music, they exorcise ghosts with it.  In 1998 Phantom Pulse is setting out on their first real tour–weeks of dive bars and underground venues across the Midwest. They’ll have a chance to perform on real stages and perform their real (secret) job: using their music to exorcise ghosts. When Phantom Pulse hits the road, they have high hopes for the tour–that it’ll give them their big break and keep them from going broke if enough people pay them for their ghost-busting services. What they don’t expect is for the tour to change everything they think they know about the world (both physical and spirit). Again.

The episodes currently in our feed are small bonus episodes that were made to promote the Kickstarter - though they were public during the campaign, moving forward these will remain exclusive to our supporters. In 1998, the rock band Phantom Pulse when on their first official tour. It was mostly basement venues and dive bars across the Midwest, but it marked a big step forward in their career. But playing scheduled gigs isn't all that Phantom Pulse did on that tour. Thanks to all of them nearly dying - or, dying and coming back as some would tell it - they had a special skill set. Not just the ability to see ghosts, but to banish them with their music. So they played shows and cleansed haunted places and started what they thought would be an exciting new chapter of their lives. Instead, it led them to a discovery that changed everything they thought they knew about life and the after life. Phantom Pulse is an audio drama series slash rock album following the band on this tour. At least, Season 1 is about this tour. We want to make a lot of this show but to get us off the ground, we need your help. I've been making audio drama for ten years. I made The Bright Sessions, a show that's lovingly been called a cult classic, wrote and directed Bridgewater, starring Misha Collins, and even wrote an official Stranger Things podcast for Netflix. I've been around the block and this is my next big idea. And I'm making it with some truly incredible people. Ella Watts, of Camlann will be co-directing with me. Evan Cunningham and Brandon Grugle will be doing the music and sound respectively and the last time they teamed up, it was on the musical podcast In Strange Woods, which, if you've heard it, you'll agree is pretty amazing. And that's just behind the mic. We've got five lovable but messy bandmates and they are being voiced by some unbelievably talented actors. Ren, our frontman, devoted to his friends and always with something to prove, will be played by the multi-talented Nicholas Podany. Jo, the drummer, the light and heart of the band, always moving and definitely not because she's running away from her feelings, will be played by the charming Erin Caesar.. Bremmer, lead guitar, surly and mysterious, will be played by the audio drama fan favorite Briggon Snow. Cal, our bassist, whip-smart and playful, but stubborn as hell, will be played by the truly iconic Erika Ishii And then there's Ash, the newcomer to the band, on the keyboard, sweet and loving, but not always forthcoming, played by the lovely Juliana Gutiérrez Arango.
