A true-crime podcast host is roped into a decades-old murder when someone calls into her show with a staggering reveal: the person who went to prison for the crime didn’t do it. To seek the truth, she forms an unlikely alliance with the victim’s son, who has his own reasons for digging up the past. But when the anonymous threats begin, warning them to stop, they must decide if finding the real killer is worth the cost. 

Dead Air is a Realm production created by Gwenda Bond and written by Gwenda Bond, Rachel Caine, and Carrie Ryan. Listen Away.

Best Fictional Podcast

I absolutely love this podcast. It is original and had me sitting on the edge of my chair.

I sincerely hope there is a 2nd season and I hope they maintain the same quality.

Great Podcast

I heard the advertisement for this show many many times on other podcasts, and it was so annoying that I started to get angry every time it came on and I thought I would never want to listen to it. Then I found the show one day and didn’t connect it to the ads I’d heard. Long story short, it’s a great story, great narrating, great producing. I love it! Don’t be put off by the annoying ads 😅
