Palimpsest is a (mostly) single-voiced audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us. Each ten-episode season is a unique and self-contained story, exploring the spaces between horror, fantasy, and psychological realism. 
 
Palimpsest releases new episodes bi-weekly on Tuesdays. Season Four began on April 13th, 2021, and the first three seasons are available (and bingeable!) on all podcast platforms: Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, TuneIn, GooglePlay, Radio Public, Podchaser or whatever podcatcher you prefer. You can also stream episodes on Spotify.

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

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

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

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