Ten years ago, Malcolm Smith was the host of “Strange Air”, a successful radio show about the paranormal. One night, during a live broadcast, Malcolm vanished into thin air. To this day, no one knows what happened. Now his daughter, Chase Smith, is in her last year of film school and she’s making a documentary about her father’s disappearance.
(Starring Natalie Lander and Patrick Fabian from Better Call Saul.)

Pros: Interesting premise Good acting When the story picks up it gets interesting. Great sound design. Cons: Main character has no redeemable qualities and is hard to empathize with. Main character is unbelievably stupid. The quasi-feminist thing was weird. The writers don't really develop the various themes that they introduce very well. There is no meaningful conversation or investigation. The approach to religion feels one-sided. The ending left me unsatisfied and I felt that it was creepy and not like in a good horror story kind of way. Just my feelings, maybe you'll feel different.

The story is very intriguing and the voice acting and sound design are top notch. My only complaint is that the main character is the worst at times, using the disappearance of her father to justify some crappy behavior.

This audio drama was a great find. Just listen to the first episode and you'll see what I mean. It plays with podcasting tropes by starting off as one thing and then turning into another. I love when a mystery takes me in unexpected directions. On the production side, the sound design is simple but effective. I hate when you can't hear the actors because there's so much noise in the background. That's not an issue here. And speaking of actors, one of the leads was on Better Call Saul and he's terrific! You should definitely check this one out. It's a quick listen and the ending is a definite ending.

Completely addictive and surprising. Reminded me of the classic experimental broadcaster Joe Frank from KCRW. So much podcast content is dark and depressing, I found this strangely uplifting.
ATVBro · May 2023
I have to confess I never really understood the mentality of reviewers who claim that they “loved” a show until the last episode, only to have the “whole series ruined!!” by the final episode. This final episode helped me to understand that phenomenon.
The story was compelling enough to keep listening, but WOW, what a terrible ending. And the main character’s voice was shrill and annoying.
