Today, we're excited to share an episode from one of our favorite podcasts, The Truth. The Truth is the critically-acclaimed fiction podcast that makes "movies for your ears." Known for cinematic sound design and naturalistic performances, the show tells emotionally rich, surprising stories that range from funny and surreal to dark and devastating. Since its debut in 2012, The Truth has set the standard for modern audio drama anthologies. Its stories, sometimes surreal, sometimes frightening, sometimes heartbreakingly intimate, have been praised for combining sharp writing with meticulous sound design and naturalistic performances. The Truth was recently named one of Apple Podcasts' 20 Podcasts We Love: "Its true genius lies in subverting reality to create uncomfortable yet incredibly human stories." And last month it was #36 on Left of Dial Media's 100 Greatest Podcasts of All Time, which called it "smart, sharp, and hauntingly human." The Guardian has praised The Truth for "setting the benchmark for fiction-based audio anthologies." This episode is "Here I Am" and to hear more original stories like this, Go to thetruthpodcast.com

Yes, you read the title correctly, Dan and Marc made a NEW podcast. It's our first audio drama since Archive 81 and we're SUPER excited about it. It's called Conversations with Ghosts, and it follows mausoleum attendant Mal Fleming as he tries to convince the spirits of Grey Briar Cemetery to pass on. In each episode, Mal sits down with a new ghost to build a portrait of their life, their death, and their afterlife... all to help them release whatever still ties their soul to this reality. It's a mix of NYC history, horror, and really fun sound design. It's on an entirely seperate feed from Archive 81, but you can listen to it wherever you get your podcasts - Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube - literally wherever: https://pod.link/1843137773 We're previewing an episode in this feed, but there are ALREADY two episodes in the Conversations with Ghosts feed, so go over to the Conversations with Ghosts feed, listen to the episodes, subscribe, and tell your friends. We've been working on this new project for a while, and we really think you'll like it. So... take a listen!

Like we said in the title, our next project, Generation Crossing, is out NOW. Generation Crossing is an album. More specifically, a series of monologues scored by music - it's about an 800 year journey to a distant planet, and the society that forms during that voyage. If you're a fan of Archive 81 or The Deep Vault, we think you'll really enjoy it. It's available on Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, or wherever you listen to music. For links, go to generationcrossing.com.
