Transcript

Welcome back to the 11th Hour Audio Podcast.

Today’s featured production is Hearthbound from Stray Lungs, one of the first productions selected through our open submissions process.

Odessa’s just trying to get home to her wife, but along the Loneliest Road in America she’ll encounter strange hosts, stray souls, and echoes of the past she’s running from… or running towards.

Hearthbound is a folk musical audio drama set across a post-apocalyptic Great Basin. It’s a road trip, a queer love story, and a ballad for ecological restoration.

Created by Jo Chiang

Directed by Jack Towhey Calk

Sound Design and Editing by Levi Sharpe

Music Directed by Ginger Dolden

Music Production by Pete Lanctot

Occasional swearing, brief gun violence, mentions of death, grief, abandonment, violence, and brief misophonia.
