What is Spirit Box Radio about?
Spirit Box Radio has a new host, and he’s got no idea what he’s stumbled into… Spirit Box Radio is a cosy horror fiction podcast about a radio show for enthusiasts of all things arcane. The show has recently been taken over by Sam Enfield, a former postboy with no experience in the arcane arts, following the disappearance of the previous host. Sam soon discovers there are more than ghosts haunting the show, and finds himself amdist a mystery which threatens everything he knows about the world beyond his tiny basement broadcast studio, and maybe even himself. With a whole host of supporting characters from knife-weilding lesbians and truth-knowing lawyers to angry bog-witches and hot-coded florists, the world of SBR is brought to life by a cast of majority LGBTQ+ actors from across the world. Spirit Box Radio started airing in November 2020. It now has almost 100 episodes and won the The People’s Choice Podcast Awards Best Fiction Podcast of 2021, and a finalist in the 2021 Audio Verse Awards, at which it also won Best Guest Performance. People have compared Spirit Box Radio to Welcome to Night Vale, Monstrous Agonies and Hello from the Hallowoods (which I’m always flattered and blown away by) and it’s chock full of references to a whole bunch of shows that audio drama enthusiasts will enjoy picking out.

This time I'm diving into the nooks and crannies of the Spirit Box Radio's Enfield siblings, Anna, Kitty and Sam, diving into a history of how they all came to be and discussing how they each respond to their mother's less than stellar parenting. CW for mentions of parental neglect, child endangerment, and show-typical violence.

Podcast Q&A
Why did you start this show?
Truly I was mad about a bunch of other media I'd been engaging with and someone said 'I bet you couldn't do it better' and I thought to myself 'maybe not but I'm going to try'. Lo and behold; 93 episodes of a supernatural mystery set in suburban England and Wales, with a cast of characters from all over the world, spotlighting LGBTQ+ voices and characters.
Which episode should someone start with?
There are two options: Start with SBR 1.1: Bellwether. Or start with SBR 3.1: Darker, and treat seasons one & two as a prequel. Both options should give you a complete and coherent story!
