Presenting: Believer
Today on the feed we’re stoked to be sharing the pilot episode of another audio fiction series we love. It’s called Believer. Lara Campbell doesn’t believe in ghosts. But that doesn’t mean she can’t make money from those who do. She'd never call it a scam, because she does make people feel better about their problems...she just does it by pretending to have psychic powers. When her ex-girlfriend, Rose, goes missing, Lara travels to a small Oregon town to help find her. But things are weird in Charity, Oregon. Nobody can acknowledge Rose’s disappearance, and a strange illness grips those who try. There’s a presence in the woods, which is definitely not Sasquatch (right? It couldn’t possibly be Sasquatch). And even Lara has a hard time telling reality from dreams. An atmospheric, somewhat self-aware horror story, BELIEVER looks at not just what we believe, but why. Woven into the season are real-world paranormal stories and elements, which inform and contrast with the action of the show. The first season features a Lovecraftian mystery with a Bigfoot twist, grounded in a melancholy love story. Oh, and there’s a dog in it. Follow @BelieverPod on Twitter.
