A fortnightly horror audio drama. 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 amidst 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-wielding 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. Tune in, get spooky. Created by Eira Major for Hanging Sloth Studios. Transcripts available on the HSS website. Support this show on Ko-Fi or Patreon. Part of the Rusty Quill Network.

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.
