Episode 73 - The Institute

Why hello again dear listener! It has been quite some time. And what have the boys been up to? Well, we're glad you asked:  Shelterwood: A Suburban Gothic is a 16-part Docu-Horror Podcast written and produced by Stephen Indrisano. The show centers around one man’s quest to find his long-lost sister in an infinite, monster-infested suburb beyond the veil. With primary inspirations like The Black Tapes, Silent Hill 2, and Limetown, Shelterwood will be one part Gothic, one part Found Footage, and one hundred percent terrifying. There's a ton of Stephen King influence in here, and we think you'd really enjoy it. Check out the campaign at bit.ly/shelterwoodpod for more details! 

What do LARPs, Beachworld, The Jaunt, and the upcoming Sci Fi audiodrama ROGUEMAKER have in common? Why, Stephen and his two guests of course!
