Take a Breath
Every morning at 6:14, a crow arrives outside the kitchen window. Three caws. Always three. At first, it’s a nuisance. Then it starts bringing gifts. Then it starts talking. A little companionship is nice when you live alone. But this particular bird has been listening a little too closely, and the things it learns aren’t necessarily yours to keep. Take a Breath is a darkly comic horror audio drama about loneliness, imitation & the terrible consequences of having someone who listens. Content advisory: Strong language, psychological horror, disturbing vocal mimicry, physical violence and frightening sounds. Narrated by Owen McCuenThe Crow voiced by Bear Haglock Written, directed & scored by Matthew BoudreauDialogue editing & sound design by Sarah Buchynski A production of 11th Hour Audio & Polarity Audio Works Learn more about your ad choices.

Love and Pain
Inspired by the painting by Edvard Munch, Love and Pain is about a Woman who seeks to comfort a grieving Man. The Man resists…at first. This melodrama is also partly inspired by a song by Gerard McMahon. Can you spot the lyrics? Munch created several versions of Love and Pain between 1893-1895 and the work was frequently called “Vampire” throughout the years, though that wasn’t the original title. Each version has its own charms, but I’m partial to the 1895 version which will serve as the cover art for this story. The Woman was performed by S.H. Cooper.Find her work at https://authorshcooper.com/The Man was performed by Owen McCuen.See and hear his work at https://owenmccuen.com/Musical score composed and performed by Sadassa Silvia.
