Six Strangers. One Cursed Playlist. Ultimate Power—or Certain Death.

Drawn by a mysterious letter promising the power to control the dead, six strangers arrive at a hidden location with one task: survive a binge-listening session. Their key to unlocking this dark magic? The Necronomicon iPod, a macabre piece of technology loaded with a supernatural playlist.

Meet the crew: a die-hard podcast fan, quirky cat dad, skeptical ghost hunter, spiritual healer, unreliable flake, and dramatic entertainer. They must endure each eerie episode, but as secrets are revealed, not all may make it out alive.

This horror-comedy event features exclusive segments from fan-favorite podcasts: And That's Why We Drink, Two Girls One Ghost, Creeps and Crimes, Ladies & Tangents, and Live, Laugh, Larceny.

Will they unlock undead power—or will the playlist claim their souls? Tune in to this all-star podcast holiday event for a supernatural audio adventure like no other!
