AYADU returns in TEN DAYS with Dalton’s reimagining of James Whale’s hidden treasure THE OLD DARK HOUSE! We’re not gonna play around and call it a “pitch” — they wrote a full-ass screenplay and are now trying to trim it down to something that can fit in a single podcast episode.

It’s been two years to the day since we debuted our first two episodes, The Mummy and Frankenstein. That day, we drew a listenership of, like, 3, and we weren’t even writing scripts yet. It’s wild to see how far we’ve come as storytellers over the course of 52 episodes, and the warm and wonderful audience we’ve been introduced to.

We’re so proud and grateful and we can’t wait to share what we’ve got planned for you in the next year. Thanks, everybody.
