In partnership with Spoke, SiriusXM's podcast team, we're excited to provide Daily Dead readers with a Halloween treat: a new horror audio drama called Doldrum. Follow young couple Henry and Gina as they leave the comforts of Kansas City for the creepy confines of the isolated town of Doldrum, a community where they not only feel out of place, but feel watched as well. And the Viewmaster they find in the attic only makes them more uneasy... You see, something isn't quite right in Doldrum, and there are many mysteries to uncover, beginning with the podcast's first episode, which you can listen to right now.

"Down at the furthest corner of Kansas, the part of the state hit hardest by the dustbowl, is the town Doldrum. Modern day Doldrum is supported by T.H.E. Co. – a defense contractor that looks like it might be conducting some shady research. More disconcerting than T.H.E.’s research are the residents of Doldrum. They seem a bit off to newcomers Henry and Gina, who have just uprooted their life in Kansas City to move to the town. But it isn’t just that the townspeople are strange, it seems like they all know something that Henry and Gina don’t. Will Gina and Henry make it out alive? What’s T.H.E. actually up to? And is there really only one restaurant?!

Doldrum is a production of Daily Dead and Spoke. It’s created and produced by Kelsey Albright and Rob Schulte. Rebecca Seidel is our Audio Producer and Sound Designer. Michele Mammen is our Show Runner. Our actors are Maribeth Theroux as Gina, Rob Schulte as Henry, Sarah Esocoff as Sabrina, Michael Fische as Fred and Amber Smith as Esther. Stay tuned at the end of November for more about Doldrum’s … population."
