This is the first in a serialized podcast of the crime novel Dead Air- read by the author- with creative and production notes at the end of the episode. In the dying town of Dansing, South Dakota, salvation comes in the forma of a rich retired athlete who promises to build a gaming casino and hunter's paradise. Only a down-and-out reporter from the local radio station is suspicious, and the only evidence he has is a garbled message recorded by accident by a scared and desperate heiress.
