Before The Tone

Written by: Knave Of Hearts
  • Summary

  • Before The Tone is a science fiction horror podcast produced by Knave Of Hearts. We follow Mack, a woman who has just gotten a job as a CCTV operator at the increasingly-suspicious Atlas Consulting. It takes the format of voicemails from Mack to her sister, Daria, who never seems to answer her calls. The horror tends towards the psychological as Mack is stalked and reality becomes a little less solid where Atlas is concerned. The science fiction is focused on time and how its fabric can be manipulated.

  • SPOTLIGHT: Among The Stacks "Things are getting ready to happen out of sight."
    Jan 21 2023

    Today, we want to spotlight another wonderful podcast for you to listen to while Before The Tone is in production (and after and then relisten and then recommend to your friends), Among The Stacks. When S, Head Librarian of a Library which contains every story from every universe finds themselves alone within its echoing halls, they must brave the Library's infinite collections to try find their colleagues. Their quest will take them to the Library's furthest reaches in search of answers and force them to grapple with the Library's slowly shrinking size, and the threats it poses for the multiverse at large.


    It's a little spooky, a little weird, and altogether very intriguing with a great cast. Go give them some love.


    Here is a transcript of this trailer.


    You can listen to Among The Stacks here or on your podcacher of choice.
