    S5E2: "Carapace", by Lee Andrew Forman

    Leonard has closeted himself away from the world, lost in his own space and mind. Desperate to avoid reality, his self-imposed isolation has become both his protection and his cage.

    As unexpected events drive him from the confines of his world, he is forced to confront the unknown where his fears are all too real. Faced with a choice, he must decide whether to stay sequestered and effectively trapped, or run for his life.

    Will Leonard overcome his own dire insecurities and flee, or will he remain trapped in a web of his own making?

    Patreon Supporters hear these mini-series episodes first.

    The past is a field sown with the bones of old tragedies.

    Once there was a time when every field spoke of death and farmers found themselves fighting for their life against the very soil they’d tilled in hope of growing crops.

    For one family, the dust bowl is about to take a far greater toll, which threatens to spread through all of history.

    A toll following in the footsteps of a vengeful god.

    In the times before history, there was a tree whose roots and branches once bound every world as one.

    Now Victoria has been tricked into awakening that tree and the walls of her home are crumbling beneath it.  The balance of her power is shifting and her music box has been stolen.

    Not that Victoria can fix any of this mess.  Not yet.  Not before she hits the ground and learns that someone in her basement is attempting to escape…

Wow

Ok so I’m only on season two but I absolutely love this podcast. Same theme, different cases and scenarios. I found this podcast through wicked library so glad I listened. I’ve been hooked helps my day at work go so much faster. Thank you!
P.s. narrators voice is perfect for both wicked library and Victorias lift.
