I had the absolute pleasure of joining my friend Tal @starplanes on their show "Someone Dies In This Elevator" @sditepod A spoiler driven anthology series, where there is always an elevator and someone always dies in it - but everything else is different.

Listen to my entry and enjoy!

Multiple requests for this one! The question is:

3. What are some audio dramas that inspire you? Both in general and for your podcast.

This is such a massive question. I've previously talked about Limetown being a massive influence, and frankly Season 1 is still the absolute peak of the 'fake true crime' subgenre. They caught lightning in a bottle with this one.

I always have to shout out @roguemaker for being an incredible production to be involved with - that show regularly inspires me to do better as a producer, and to experiment more with form and character dynamics as a writer!

Similarly, @sditepod has been an inspiration for me since day 1 of making my own stuff, just in terms of "here's how you completely commit to one idea and stick with it." One of my big pet peeves across media is anything that gives up on its framing device or central 'gimmick', and Someone Dies In This Elevator shows how you can do 10,000 variations on a very simple theme.

I of course have to mention my two first obsessions in podcasting, Pseudopod and Knifepoint Horror, which are both very much going strong. These are shows that really inspire me to approach my writing as literature, and to keep my craft going regardless of the chaos of life. These shows are like sharks, in an evolutionary sense: perfectly suited to exactly what they do and damn near as old as the water they swim in.

I always shout out In Strange Woods for making me cry repeatedly and often. This one is also one of the only things I listened to while hiking the 200 miles of Camino Primativo with my wife last summer, as a "break in case of emergencies" motivational rally.

In terms of more recent productions, @whatsthefrequencypodcast, @what-happened-in-skinner, and @thegospelofhaven are some of my favorites that I've devoured in the last year or so!

@starplanes has been a force in podcasting for years. They're a polymath, acting, writing, sound designing, producing, and providing guidance for new members of the community with incredible skill and a sense of humor. Some of their shows include @re-dracula, @sidequestingpod and @sditepod. We're thrilled to bring Tal back for Season 2!

😈We're back with my special brand of anthology horror with SOMEONE DIES IN THIS ELEVATOR - MORGE

Centred on a Filipino morgue during the Duterte admin.

Ever wanted to learn more about the town of Englewood? You should check out the episode of Someone Dies in this Elevator that we just dropped on the feed. Remember, until otherwise stated, everything is canon.

And someone will die in this elevator…
