A hilarious original, sitcom podcast about the highs and lows of dating, love, sex, trying to "tick the boxes", and the elusive quest to find "The One"


Frankie is very single-ish, extremely cynical of modern dating, waiting for "The One", and trying desperately to tick all the boxes; nab 'her person', get married, start her own family, make her parents proud, and get out from underneath the heavy burden of the dark single girl cloud hanging over her head. But when she turns 35, is reminded that she hasn't ticked the boxes yet, and her life plan goes awry, she's slingshot into a whole new reality of singleness, sexual freedom, dating, searching for "The One", and ultimately finding herself.

Kingdom of Pavement presents a new scripted podcast, THE HORROR AT MARTIN'S BEACH, adapted from the short story with the same name by H.P. Lovecraft and his wife Sonia H. Greene. As 2022 is the hundred year anniversary since the short story's initial release in 1922, we felt it was only fitting to take the Cthulhu mythos and blend it with horrors of our modern world. THE HORROR AT MARTIN'S BEACH begins when a group of Greek Life students show up fashionably late to a party at the ominous Martin's Beach. When they find that all of the partygoers have disappeared, they find themselves fighting for their lives against the internal and external horrors that could only exist in this place. THE HORROR AT MARTIN'S BEACH is written and created by Kyle Cords, directed by Alexi Gonzalez, and Executive Produced by Amy Suto.
