An unexpected phone call turns Matthew Heawood’s attention to a mystery in the gloom of Rendlesham Forest; folklore, paranormal, otherworldly? Up for debate, but fertile ground for a new investigative podcast, that’s for sure. One question still lingers, will our host be re-joined by his roaming researcher, Kennedy Fisher?The duo’s last update patched together frantic updates from Baghdad, as they pursued suspected occultists in The Case of Charles Dexter Ward. Very little hope lingered of solving the mystery, and maybe even less that Kennedy would return home safe… But for now, a new investigation calls.Following the success of The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, Radio 4 commissions a return to this HP Lovecraft-inspired universe. Once again, the podcast embraces Lovecraft’s crypt of horror, braving the Sci-Fi stylings of The Whisperer in Darkness.Cast:Kennedy Fisher……………….………Jana Carpenter Matthew Heawood………………….Barnaby Kay Albert Wilmarth………………………Mark Bazeley Henry Akeley……………….……..….David Calder Ben…………………...........…….…….Ben Crowe Tania…………………..……...............Gabrielle Glaister Slide……………………....................Ferdinand Kingsley Mystery woman…………........…...Nicola Stephenson Child's voice…………………..........Edie SimpsonProducer: Karen Rose

this series was so, so disappointing. terrible final episode and well below the standard of all the previous series, I really hope this is just a one off aberration and not the podcast going downhill

Just listened to seasons 1 to 3, again. I do hope that season 5, which I assume is going to be The Call of Cathulhu, is more of the same.

As someone who used to live in the Newburyport area, I can confirm that this updated version of Innsmouth is both hysterically accurate and basically pronounced right, which is damn near unique.
