Static County

In Calder County, Texas, the nights are long, and the radio is the only thing awake.

On the overnight shift at KCDR 1340 AM, a dying station on the edge of a small Texas town, new host June Castillo takes the calls nobody else is awake for: truckers, night-shift nurses, a diner waitress with all the gossip. Then, at 2:17 a.m., line four rings. The line was disconnected in 1987, the night the station's first overnight host vanished on the air. The caller is calm, kind, and always right about what's going to happen next. Ten nights to Halloween. One request line. And something out in the static that's been waiting a long, long time.

Featuring June Castillo, Ezra Pike, Sheriff Dale Pruitt, Margo Lusk, Dolores Vick, Ray Tolliver, and the voice on line four.

Static County is a ten-part Southern-gothic radio noir from Narratique. One night per episode, October 22 to Halloween. Listen in order.
