    Englewood After Dark is a horror audio drama. College students Finn Nightingale and Eve Pemberly run a true crime conspiracy podcast from their university’s drama department.

But as they dig up more clues, they soon discover the roots of a conspiracy that stretches through history to the founding of Englewood. Some secrets are best kept hidden, and when they attract the attention of the powers that be on their campus, they are forced to rely on their wits to survive.

  • The Holmwood Foundation - Updates
    Nov 3 2024

    Hello! Georgia Cook here, one half of the writing team behind the Holmwood Foundation.

    We just wanted to say a huge thank you to everyone who has listened to, shared and reviewed our pilot episode over the last few weeks. We have been overwhelmed by your excitement and support for the show, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Thank you also for listening to our amazing feed swap partners.


    As of recording, it’s the 3rd of November, and we have just eleven days until the end of our Kickstarter campaign for Season one. Unfortunately, as things currently stand, we cannot make the rest of Holmwood without reaching our funding goal.


    If you’ve enjoyed our pilot, and would like to hear more, please go to https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/georgiacook/the-holmwood-foundation and pledge your support. As little as five pounds will net you some great tier rewards!


    Otherwise, please share the show on your socials and with friends. Any support would be so, so appreciated.

    Thank you so much, and hopefully we’ll have more updates for you soon!
