Earworm: An audio drama musical infused with hip hop, jazz and ghosts. Geoffrey Troughton can’t sleep. Music bleeds through the walls at all hours interrupting his paranormal studies. But something has crawled its way from the other side, a sinister earworm eager to sink its hook into the right host. As Geoffrey’s weary yet curious mind is hoisted into the darkness, will he surface from the shadows? Or will he be cursed to play second fiddle within his own soul? …And who will be next?  Please see the end of the show notes for content warnings. Note, these may contain spoilers.
