Spirit Box Radio — Drama
Spirit Box Radio

A fortnightly horror audio drama. Spirit Box Radio is a cosy horror fiction podcast about a radio show for enthusiasts of all things arcane. The show has recently been taken over by Sam Enfield, a former postboy with no experience in the arcane arts, following the disappearance of the previous host. Sam soon discovers there are more than ghosts haunting the show, and finds himself amidst a mystery which threatens everything he knows about the world beyond his tiny basement broadcast studio, and maybe even himself. With a whole host of supporting characters from knife-wielding lesbians and truth-knowing lawyers to angry bog-witches and hot-coded florists, the world of SBR is brought to life by a cast of majority LGBTQ+ actors from across the world. Spirit Box Radio started airing in November 2020. It now has almost 100 episodes and won the The People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Fiction Podcast of 2021, and a finalist in the 2021 Audio Verse Awards, at which it also won Best Guest Performance. Tune in, get spooky. Created by Eira Major for Hanging Sloth Studios. Transcripts available on the HSS website. Support this show on Ko-Fi or Patreon. Part of the Rusty Quill Network.

Show notes

Kove, a teenage mercenary, and Arius, a deceptively powerful politician, form an uneasy alliance to bring down the leader of an authoritarian theocracy... DUSTWALKER is a full-cast, sci-fantasy audio drama following a shaky alliance between a transfem teen and a powerful politician—a trans man who was meant to be her adoptive father. Taking place on a post-cataclysm earth, the two navigate a dangerous magic system in hopes to tear down their city-state’s regime… and maybe grow to care for each other along the way.

Feed Drop: The Program, a funky futuristic sci-fi anthology packed with thought experiments Apr 16, 2026

Show notes

Hi, it's Eira here, introducing you to another audio drama. The Program is a sci-fi anthology set in a world where society is governed by an entity known as the Program. Each story is self-contained, but expands a singular world. You can find out more about the show on their website, www.programaudioseries.com, Or search 'The Program', wherever you listen to podcasts. The show's creator was kind enough to spotlight my audio drama Remnants a couple of months, ago; as fans of my work, I think the Program will have a lot for you to sink your teeth into because it's packed with thought experiments and fascinating ideas. I hope you enjoy this episode of the Program called Move Past and Break Things. It's about time travel, but not the way you think.
