The Occurrence in River Oaks is an all new, entirely voice acted sci-fi horror audio drama from writer/director Nikki Durbin. Take an original, terrifying journey through one very long day in the titular small town, as heard through the viewpoint of the local law enforcement personnel; specifically, Olivia, the woman running the dispatch radio at the Sheriff’s office, as she tries to hold everything together when her entire world is falling apart. As the several officers under her command come face to face with a very unexpected threat, and as Olivia tries to navigate a dangerous and otherworldly creature’s arrival, everything slowly begins to fall apart over the course of 8 grueling episodes. No one is safe, and as the world becomes very small and extremely dangerous for the characters, they must do everything in their power to protect not only the citizens of River Oaks, but the entire world.

The Things Distance Cousin
The first episode took a min to draw me in but I’m so glad I stuck it out because holy shnikeez! I was getting so many The Thing vibes from this from the jump and then in episode five they straight up used a line of audio from the movie! “Nobody trusts anybody now, we’re all very tired” I literally shed a tear 🥲 HIGHLY RECOMMEND
Great Horror/Drama
Lovin this podcast, served 42 years in Law Enforcement, you should get a Cop as an adviser, the nuances your cast is using for cop talk could use a little tune up. But the show is very good, I look forward to the success of this podcast. Heck I might just join the River Oaks Sheriff’s Department, just to help get rid of those monsters!!!!
Hilarious
The dialogue is great.
