Hi there. This is Chris Koella, creator of dirt and audio drama. While we're working away on the next episode, I wanted to take a moment to introduce yet another favorite podcast. Red Valley, in a word, is awesome. And it's so easy for me to recommend the show because I've listened to every single episode

from the moment it first launched in March 2020.

Red Valley has brilliant acting, a mysterious sci-fi plot, and witty dialogue.

Red Valley was a huge inspiration back when I was just figuring out how to make an audio drama,

and it continues to be, to this day.

Without giving away too much, its story follows the unlikely duo of Warren Godbey,

an accountant at a huge tech corporation in the UK, and Gordon Porlock,

a disgruntled archivist also at said corporation.

Gordon shares chilling recordings with Warren about devious activities

taking place at their firm, whether Warren wants to hear them or not. And as the mystery unfolds,

the story gets very personal for Warren in tragically unexpected ways. Red Valley is full of heart

and humor. The interactions between Warren and Gordon will

leave you laughing, even in their darkest moments. Red Valley currently has two completed seasons,

plus a mini-series between those seasons, and the team is currently in production on season

three, which, thanks to the crowdfunding campaign just ended, promises to be its biggest

yet. I can't wait. There's a lot more information to dig into at Red Valleypod.com, but let's

just get right to the show. Here, for your listening pleasure, is Season 1, Episode 1, Tortoise.

Red Valley is intended for mature audiences

and contains scenes some listeners may find distressing.
