The Back Row: An Audio Drama

Episode Description from the Publisher

This week, we’re playing an episode from the audio drama podcast The Truth. Longtime listeners might remember that I used to be a writer on The Truth, and I played the stories I wrote for them on my podcast. I wanted to share one of my favorite stories they’ve done recently called The Back Row. It’s about a man named Jake who is flying to an important business conference. But his experience on the plane becomes an increasingly strange and surreal journey that challenges everything he believes about getting ahead. It’s a great episode to listen to if you’re actually on a plane. The Back Row was written by Hunter Nelson; directed and sound designed by Jonathan Mitchell. Learn more about your ad choices.
