-University/College students

-Queer representation

-A good amount of sarcasm

-Twist, turns, and surprises

-Fall vibes

-A podcast which parodies making podcasts

-A diverse cast and crew

-Indie creators who just want to tell you a thrilling story

-You're a fan of audio fiction/audio dramas and you like ensemble casts. Our show has thirty actors overall, but don't worry, we'll introduce them slowly so it doesn't get confusing. Some of them only show up once or twice but are all important to the story. We wanted to give you a whole world like you're watching a tv show. You'll mostly follow Ben Miller, Ezra Hansen, Veronica Barrow, and Wyatt Perth to try and solve what happened to Janie Melnyk

-You either find true crime podcasts interesting or you can't stand them. A weird juxtaposition, we know. We'll explain. Our show is about Ben Miller an amateur true crime podcaster who can't get anyone to listen to his show. To try and increase listenership he asks his best friend Janie Melnyk if she will stage her own disappearance so he can find her. The plan works a little too well when she really does go missing. WTLFP follows tropes of true crime in Ben's search but also plays with how sometimes the people in front of the mic may take it too far and forget that they are still talking to real people. We bring you the consequences as well as the action.

-You like solving (or trying to solve) mysteries. If you think you're good at figuring out who did it before the big reveal, try your hand at this audio drama! Each episode Ben will follow a new lead until everyone is a suspect. The only clue he really has at the start is blood writing on a cabin wall that reads "Where the Leaves Fall Purple." What does it mean? And what does it have to do with the disappearance?

-You want a show with positive queer rep. 3/5 of our main characters are part of the LGBT+ community. Ezra: Ben's roommate, is a gay man dealing with the recent breakup with his ex-boyfriend Wyatt. Their breakup meant that he also lost his best friend. Wyatt deals with the stereotypes and scrutiny of being a bisexual man as he's started dating a girl named Skylar after Ezra. Veronica is a lesbian who is often everyone's voice of reason. She's Janie's other best friend who doesn't like Ben much at the start.

-You like shows that don't shy away from harder topics. WTLFP deals with topics of anxiety, biphobia, domestic violence/assault, death, and grief. We put warnings on episodes that may be triggering. We wanted the story to feel authentic (in a tasteful, responsible way), which means that sometimes we do have to have the hard conversations/moments. We try our best to handle them with tact and heart.

-You want to support indie artists/creators. WTLFP started as a group of people getting together in the show's creator's basement to tell a good story. And that's still what it is. Majority of the cast and crew are volunteers and others are only receiving a small honorarium because it's all we can afford to do coming out of a very difficult time for creatives. You listening directly supports everyone involved. We appreciate every stream/download.

Thank you for reading! We hope you'll give us a try!

Audio drama fans, sound off on your favourite audio dramas!

Audio drama creators, introduce yourself and your show. We'd love to meet you!

Let me introduce ourselves:

We're a mystery/thriller audio drama about Ben Miller, a university student who runs a failing true crime podcast. In a misguided attempt to get more listeners, he asks his best friend, Janie Melnyk, to fake her own disappearance so he can document finding her on his show. Things take a dark turn when she really does go missing with only the message "Where the Leaves Fall Purple" left behind.

If you're interested in our show, you can stream/download it wherever you get your podcasts.

-You have a passion project or a dream job that you really want but don't know how to make it happen

-You're the odd one out in your own friend group

-You've ever been in love with your best friend (but couldn't tell them)

-You dated a friend, then broke up, and now you want to be friends again but it's awkward

-A friend of yours has dated someone you really hated but you couldn't really say anything about it

-You always tell everyone you're fine even when you are very clearly not

-You're bisexual (or pansexual) and you're sick of people defining your sexuality based on the gender of the partner you have at the time

-You find true crime interesting or people who find true crime interesting annoy you (there's something for both sides here)

-Sarcasm is your preferred defense mechanism
