Palimpsest Productions specializes in audio drama and live audio events, with occasional forays into film and immersive theater.

“Palimpsest is audio fiction’s best foray into the Gothic.”
--Wil Williams, Wil Williams Reviews

“Palimpsest is perfect for those who like their horror with a little Shirley Jackson vibe.”
--Tor.com

“Palimpsest is a masterclass in atmosphere. I absolutely cried.”
--Elena Fernández-Collins, AudioDramatic

“Palimpsest [...] manages to create a slow burn of dread and sorrow over its episodes. Th

is is largely due to the tightly wrought storyline and Hayley Heninger's magnificent performance. A wonderful take on the classic ghost story genre."
--Paul Bae, The Black Tapes, The Big Loop

“A spooky and melancholic and ultimately devastating tale, beautifully written.”
--Jacquelyn Landgraf, It Makes a Sound

“The story is poetic and searching, instantly friendly, quickly creepy, and totally addictive.”
--Asheville’s Mountain Xpress

We are so excited to share with you what we’ve been up to. Through hurricanes and fires and personal upset, we have emerged from the ashes!

We’ve spent the last few months working on expanding and branding Palimpsest Productions as a full production company focusing on audio drama, live audio experiences, and other dark creative projects. Specifically we’ve been working with in Asheville for branding and web design. Check out our new website through the link in our bio. (The old url will take you to Palimpsest’s show page on the new site.) our new logo is right below. 🖤

We are now actively working on two projects: the small and creepy stand-alone fairy tale Ratcatcher, and the large and sprawling multi-voice multi-media Highgate Wood. We’re hoping both will make it to you in 2025, Ratcatcher showing up first.

Look for updates, casting calls, and a HW crowdfunding campaign this summer. We’re so excited to tell more and bigger stories, and I settle you in more and bigger ways!

(but seriously check out our web site. It’s so pretty.)

Love,
Jamie and Hayley

After a tumultuous fall and winter, we are settled in our new studio. We have done a couple of test run recordings, and are ready for new projects. We have some announcements coming this week (!) but wanted to show you our new space. We’re gonna make great, spooky art here.

Happy birthday to our glorious voice, co-creator, and all-around superstar, Hayley Heninger! Take a minute to give her some love. 🖤

As usual, we did not get a lot of photos of the actual show, but we had a great time bringing Cooling with Cora and Respite to USC Sumter this week. Here are some pics of the trip—including the Dennys international headquarters in Spartanburg (a party, def), Skelly wearing Hayley’s discarded moisturizing mask, and shots of sound check and the green room. The last three shots are from Mr. Bunky’s General Store and Meat Market, which is an actual place we went to. Much to haunt the unwary shopper there…

Our Story

Palimpsest is a bi-weekly audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us.

Season One tells the story of Anneliese, who is still mourning the death, years earlier, of her sister Claire. The story is presented as Anneliese’s audio notes to her former therapist, working through her feelings about her sister. The recordings also begin to document the apparent hauntings in her new apartment, and Anneliese's possibly flawed memories of Claire. You can binge Season One now on your favorite podcatcher.

Season Two tells a different story, set in another place and time. Episode One drops Tuesday, September 4th, 2018. Palimpsest is written by Jamieson Ridenhour and performed by Hayley Heninger, with original music by Ian Ridenhour. Our logo was created by Megan Lee. Our project is fueled by our friends and Patrons.
