Heart In The Snow

Sun, 07 Feb 2021 13:05:17 GMT

This is an audio drama piece inspired by John Carpenders The Thing. I made it as part of a college assigment and uploaded it here to get some feedback, but also because I was just happy with how it turned out. This is a stand alone episode of ficticious drama that stars the voices of myself, Cian Scally and friend of the podcast Liam W. Smyth.

Three Men find themselves alone in the arctic. A terrible storm blocks any hope of escape and just as things seem like they couldnt get any worse, a dead body is found. Our heros must work together to find the killer before he strikes again, but paranoia can be just as deadly as any weapon.
