Spirit Box Radio

A fortnightly horror audio drama. Spirit Box Radio is a cosy horror fiction podcast about a radio show for enthusiasts of all things arcane. The show has recently been taken over by Sam Enfield, a former postboy with no experience in the arcane arts, following the disappearance of the previous host. Sam soon discovers there are more than ghosts haunting the show, and finds himself amidst a mystery which threatens everything he knows about the world beyond his tiny basement broadcast studio, and maybe even himself. With a whole host of supporting characters from knife-wielding lesbians and truth-knowing lawyers to angry bog-witches and hot-coded florists, the world of SBR is brought to life by a cast of majority LGBTQ+ actors from across the world. Spirit Box Radio started airing in November 2020. It now has almost 100 episodes and won the The People's Choice Podcast Awards Best Fiction Podcast of 2021, and a finalist in the 2021 Audio Verse Awards, at which it also won Best Guest Performance. Tune in, get spooky. Created by Eira Major for Hanging Sloth Studios. Transcripts available on the HSS website. Support this show on Ko-Fi or Patreon. Part of the Rusty Quill Network.

    SEASON 3 TRAILER

    Trailer SBR S3

    I’m going to tell you a story. It’s a story about people. It’s about you, it’s about me, it’s about everyone else. And it’s also about nobody at all. Once upon a time there was a little boy, and in all the important ways he was a kid like any other. Except he wasn’t. [SAM’S FINAL THEME PLAYS] He could make anyone do whatever he said. He could see the world for what it was, the shimmering threads that link everything together. He could even wake the dead. He was me, of course. Just a little boy, but also so much more, and so much less. I am Samael Apollo Enfield, Heir Apparent to the Blood Rose Crown and you will do as I bid! THE MAN: You want to sleep on the notion of ending the world? SAM: That’s what I’m going to do. I’m going to think about it. RECORDING MACHINE: Spirit Box Radio Season Three begins on the twenty ninth of December 2022. Tune in, get spooky. Get episodes one day early with Patreon! Hosted on Acast.
