Spirit Box Radio – Details, episodes & analysis

Hey folks, it’s Eira! I have another audio drama to introduce you to today. Windfall is a dystopian sci-fi/fantasy show which tells an epic story through the lens of everyday people. A huge array of characters open up a diverse and fascinating world, balancing big ideas and exciting action with small, intimate moments that make this story really hit close to home. The first season is available to listen wherever you find your podcasts, and it’s currently part way through its second season, which will pick up again in November this year, which is really exciting! Now’s a perfect time to catch up so you can listen along as episodes start releasing again. You’re about to hear a little bit of the show, but if your interest is already piqued, you can find out more at windfallpodcast.com. That’s w-i-n-d-f-a-l-l podcast dot com, by following the links in the description of this episode, or by searching ‘windfall podcast’ wherever you’re listening right now. I hope you enjoy this episode of the show.

Hey, it’s Eira! Today I’d like to introduce you to a fabulous show, the Holmwood Foundation. It’s a modern sequel to the classic Victorian gothic vampire novel, Dracula. The story follows co-workers Maddie and Jeremy who become possessed by the ghosts of Mina and Jonathan Harker. Beginning at the Holmwood Foundation, an organisation which has been studying Dracula’s remains for the last 130 years, our possessed protagonists end up on a road-trip which they hope will give the ghosts of the Harkers what they want; to get rid of Dracula once and for all.

It’s a really stellar show which explores identity and self-discovery, family loyalty and devotion, and it has some lovely accompanying artwork. There are already three episodes of the show to listen to and it’s releasing fortnightly through to the middle of August, so now’s a great time to tune in.

Transcript for the episode you're about to listen to is in the description below. You can find more of the show wherever you listen to podcasts, by searching ‘The Holmwood Foundation’. It’s the show with the sketch of the dismembered head on the cover. Thats 'The H-O-L-M-W-O-O-D Foundation. The Holmwood Foundation! I hope you enjoy listening to this first episode of the show.
