A RUMBLE, AND A GASP

EIRA: REMNANTS IS A BRAND NEW DARK FANTASY AUDIO DRAMA BY THE CREATOR OF SPIRIT BOX RADIO AND CLOCKWORK BIRD. TUNE IN TO EPISODES ONE AND TWO ON THE 15th JULY 2024 WHEREVER YOU LISTEN TO PODCASTS. FIND OUT MORE AT HANGINGSLOTHSTUDIOS.COM/REMNANTS.

Hello, I’m Eira, creator of Spirit Box Radio, Not Quite Dead and Clockwork Bird. This July I’m releasing a brand new show, Remnants, a gothic fantasy thriller. The show follows the new Apprentice at the First and Last Place as he sorts through objects who hold the remnants of their previous owners within them. His job is to decide which of them is re-shelved, and which is discarded, but he has no criteria to work with and no idea what the consequences of his decisions will be. As the story goes on, the Apprentice begins to wonder why he, of everyone, was chosen for this task, and whether his near-omniscient boss, known only as ‘sir’, has chosen now to train an assistant.

Remnants has a new story to muse over every week, and a mystery at its core which will have you pinning red string to cork boards as you try to solve it. Think The Talented Mr Ripley meets The Good Place and The Sandman.

Remnants, an audio drama will start airing wherever you listen to podcasts from 15th July 2024.
