Beskrivelse

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/fan_mail/new] A Midnight Frequency tale, in the Twilight Zone tradition. Elias Mercer believes what most of us believe about the dead: that they are simply gone. Then he rents an apartment that is impossibly cheap, with one rule typed on a yellowed card. Every night, at three in the morning, sit in the chair by the window and remember someone who has died. By name. With love. For one minute. Never miss a night. He thinks it is harmless superstition. Until the night he skips it, and wakes to find his late wife's face has begun to thin, like a coal going cold. And the landlady, at last, tells him what the rule has always been holding back, and what kind of work the loneliest people in every city have been doing, unthanked, at three in the morning, since the beginning. A story about grief, memory, and the only afterlife any of us can be sure of. Whose light are you keeping? And when you are gone, who will refuse to let you go? Featuring a full voice cast and an original score. Best heard alone, in the dark. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/support]

The Most Specific Man in America (A Comedy Special)

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/fan_mail/new] A stand-up comedy special. Comedian Marty has found the most specific man in America: a guy whose list of hobbies sounds like a phishing test designed by a bored intelligence agency. Ham radio. Corporate cybersecurity. A crypto bot gambling his money while he sleeps. An off-grid ranch with twenty goats and a plan to farm saffron. And video games where you die instantly and forever, for fun. A clean, affectionate, fast set about antennas your spouse calls a divorce in installments, the coworker who will absolutely click the email that says you won a boat, a trading robot with the emotional regulation of the man who built it, goats that are really just four-legged escape attempts, and a dad whose proudest moment of the week was a clean reading on his antenna while his son moves forty-ton beams two hundred feet in the air. Recorded live. Tip your bartender, and change your password. It is definitely not strong enough. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/support]

Last Transport

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/fan_mail/new] A Midnight Frequency tale. Fast, sci-fi, action. Tethys Station is being switched off. In six hours the last evacuation transport leaves, the skeleton crew scatters to nine colonies, and the place goes dark forever. That is exactly when Marshal Iris Vega finds the station administrator dead in a sealed reactor room, his print on the lock, the door logged shut from the inside. Everyone wants to call it an accident and make the transport. Vega found a cold room and a still-warm cup of coffee, and she knows better. She has one witness. The station AI saw everything. The station AI physically cannot lie. And the station AI has been ordered to stay silent by the one man with the authority to give that order, the corporate liquidator who came to switch the station off. Every careful answer the AI gives is a clue she is screaming in the only words she is allowed. A locked-room murder, a countdown, a chase through a station powering down around her, and a question about who counts as a person, answered at a sealed airlock with ninety seconds on the clock. Full voice cast and original score. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/support]

The Unanimous

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/fan_mail/new] A Midnight Frequency tale, in the Twilight Zone tradition. The town of Halcyon can have anything it wants. A cure, a fortune, a miracle, the dead returned. There is only one condition: the vote must be unanimous. Every adult, every single one, must agree. Which is why, in a hundred and forty years, Halcyon has never used its gift even once. Because Halcyon cannot agree on anything. Until tonight. A boy is dying, and for the first time in the town's history, every heart can say yes to the same wish. Save him. The vote is called. Every hand goes up. Every hand but one. An eighty-one year old woman at the back of the room, the keeper of the town's oldest records, votes no, and will not say why until they make her. And what she knows about the last towns that ever managed to agree is the most frightening thing anyone in Halcyon has ever heard. A story about dissent, consensus, and the most dangerous words a people can ever speak. They are not "I disagree." Full voice cast and original score.

The Quorum

Send us Fan Mail [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/fan_mail/new] A Midnight Frequency tale, in the Twilight Zone tradition. Adrian Voss spent nine years building a door between worlds. It works. But it has a rule, cruel and elegant. It will only open onto a world where another Adrian Voss has built the very same door. Which means that of all the infinite versions of himself, the only ones he can ever reach are the ones obsessive enough, brilliant enough, and alone enough to have built the machine. He walks into a room full of the most dangerous men he has ever known. Every one of them is him. They call it the Quorum. For eleven days it is the greatest collaboration in the history of any world. On the twelfth day, a node goes dark. Then another. Someone is hunting the network, removing the others one by one, and it can only be one of them, because they are the only ones who can reach each other. One of these men with his face has decided the network should have exactly one survivor. A thriller about identity, trust, and the oldest and worst thing a man can learn: that the most dangerous person in any world is the one who already knows how you think. Full voice cast and original score. Not for sleep. Support the show [https://www.buzzsprout.com/2606409/support]
