Alex Nursall & Emily Kellogg
Beatrice Ashe has a quiet life as an assistant at the Woodbine Agency, a small detective firm in the east end of Toronto. But things change for her quickly when she is brutally attacked and left near death. Now, her boss Grace Hawthorne has a choice to make: Let Bea die... or give her a second chance. A second chance that brings Bea into a new world of shadow. Woodbine is a show about monsters, mysteries, new beginnings, and new bodies. What would you do if you found yourself in a world you never knew existed? What would you do if you had another chance to get justice? How far would you go to find the truth? And are you willing to figure all these out on your lunch break, because there are cases coming in and the Mothman can only wait so long for answers... WOODBINE is a new podcast by the creators of the award-winning horror fiction podcast Parkdale Haunt. Listen to Parkdale Haunt seasons 1-3 below, and subscribe for new episodes of Woodbine. PARKDALE HAUNT: Ever since Judith’s lifelong best friend, Claire Sterback, inherited a house from a biological family she never knew, things have begun to change. Claire has begun to change. It isn’t just that the house is full of cryptic notebooks, ominous scribblings on the wall, and has a basement that is colder than it should be. It isn’t just that Claire abruptly up and left her live-in boyfriend and is now being stalked by a psychopathic realtor. Claire is… off. As she gets closer to a secret at the heart of the old house in the Toronto neighbourhood of Parkdale, she is also getting closer to losing herself. After Claire goes missing - with the help of co-worker-turned-friend-Owen - Judith vies to track her down, even if it means diving into a history that may have been better left untouched.

Everyone is trapped by something. Maybe you're in a house you can't leave, maybe you're in a meeting that never seems to end, and maybe you're stuck in a situation where any good outcome is slipping away, every opportunity to make change is disappearing. For Bea and Grace, their chances of escape are slimming quickly. But it's not just them who are in trouble... So maybe you are trapped in a room, or in an untenable position, or a job you can't leave, or between a ravenous crowd and a broken window. Maybe there is a way out, just not the one you wanted. You can't walk away, you can only escape. You can run. For everyone, the walls are closing in, whether they realize it or not.

Things are shifting, the ground is soft underfoot. You can't trust where you're stepping, and collapse is imminent. But what does it mean to collapse? To fall, to crumple to the ground? To relax against someone, exhausted and needing that weight against you as comfort? To lose something intangible, something you didn't know was so integral to your very ability to stand on your own? To pull away the thing holding an entire place up, just to watch it crumble? Bea, Grace, Hollis, and Lennox are now faced with what it means to collapse. What waits for them on the other side?

Grace has made a deal that she and Bea can't back out of: A return to Emiel under Lennox's endlessly watching eye. Everything is getting too close, everything is starting to strain, and Grace is now returning to the world she thought she had escaped from. Bea is experiencing some real flighty coworkers. And Rhys? Well, he's out there listening to the siren call of the night, the sound of smooth jazz leading him onward onto the rain-slick streets, and taking the chance to make his own fun while left to his own devices...

The only way to keep a secret is to tell no one. The second you tell another person, it's out and it has a life of its own. Grace's secret is carried in Bea, but the shadow it casts is spreading. Lennox knows this and he'll use it to his advantage, she knows that. But he's not the only one who knows, and the shadow grows longer and longer and touches more and more. Oh, and just a reminder that the AGM is coming up, so hope to see you there! You will have to be there. You wouldn't want people talking now, would you?

"Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you'll understand them better," that's an approximation of the saying, right? Well, what about their socks? And their pants? And their shirt? And their skin? The feeling of their muscles and bones moving in concert, a feeling you understand but is still completely and utterly foreign to you, because they are not yours. What then? Bea and Lennox experience a bit of a shift in their perceptions of the other person, but not in a way you'd expect. And now it's Grace and Rhys's problem. Or, wait, which one are you again? ...

There's something in the distance, just out of sight. There's something whispering to you in the darkness, but you can't make the words out. There's something coming, but you can't seem to make out what it is. The storm is growing and growing and growing, thunder in the distance, a lightning flash on the edge of your vision. You feel something stirring. What do you do next?
