True Noir
“If you’re a fan of classic audio dramas, True Noir is a great one. It’s well-written and directed, features an exceptional voice cast (and) gritty action, moody soundscapes, and unexpected twists. Listening to these episodes recalls the joys of audio dramas past—the original BBC Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy radio series from 1978, the Star Wars radio plays of the early 1980s, (and) Garrison Keillor’s A Prairie Home Companion)…True Noir is entertaining as hell.”
