The night the coast went quiet, the power died, the phones died, and the sky went dark over Brazoria County, Texas. The radio didn't. Every night, Hollis "Holl" Brandt fires up a generator he can't afford to run and signs on at KDXT 1380 — reading water levels, road closures, and the names of the missing to whoever is still listening. He tells stories about the coast that was, and the things that walk the port after dark. Some nights, when he signs off, something signs back. Dead Air Texas is a Texas Gothic audio drama about one man, one microphone, and a signal that learned his name.

    Dead Air Texas – Transmission 003: "Aisle Nine, Amen."

    The Plenty feeds anybody at noon. But medicine is mercy — and mercy has to be asked for true. In this transmission, Hollis tells the story of Dess Merritt's trip to the Parish of Plenty in Lake Jackson: a grocery store turned sanctuary, where the pharmacy opens only for an honest confession spoken aloud on the store PA. Dess needs insulin for her brother Tully. Hollis told her to lie. Her honesty bought her brother a season. And after sign-off, on the dead frequency, something is reading a list — including words Hollis has said out loud exactly once in his life. To a dead man. Off the air. Dead Air Texas is an original audio drama written and narrated by Joshua Tybie, broadcasting from fictional KDXT 1380 in Brazoria County, Texas. 🎧 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5DxXPZ6eGAzhyUcqCrirB3 ☕ Support the show: https://buymeacoffee.com/Jtybie If you hear KDXT, write down the time.
