In celebration of the podcast Palimpsest’s fifth season launch this Halloween, join creators Jamieson Ridenhour and Hayley Heninger for an intimate live performance featuring a pre-launch sneak peek at the new season followed by haunted refreshments.
Palimpsest is a single-voiced horror audio drama about memory, identity, and the things that haunt us. Each 10-episode season is a self-contained story exploring the spaces between horror, fantasy, and psychological realism. Recently wrapping up its fourth season with over half a million downloads, Palimpsest has critics calling it “a masterclass in atmosphere” and “audio fiction’s best foray into the Gothic.”
—
“Palimpsest is audio fiction’s best foray into the Gothic.”
-Wil Williams, DiscoverPods
—
“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.”
