Highgate Wood Teaser

Highgate Wood Teaser

2024-06-2203:20

Coming in 2025 from Palimpsest Productions:   Highgate Wood rose to prominence in the early 1970s, propelled by the triple threat of dynamic front man Sean Underwood, wunderkind guitarist Peter Van Conklin, and keyboardist Corrine Kennedy.  Dancing a line between artsy prog rock and mainstream melodics, they had a string of hit albums before suddenly disbanding in 1975 when a studio fire resulted in Corrine’s death and Peter’s descent into madness. Sean Underwood went on to have a successful solo career before committing suicide in the early 90s, an event witnessed by Patti Van Conklin, the teen daughter of his former bandmate, Peter. Years later, Patti, herself a musician, finds herself haunted—both by her knowledge of Sean’s death and possibly by the ghost of Corrine Kennedy. Fearing she may be falling down the same mad rabbit hole as her father, she sets out to discover the truth of the fateful night that Highgate Wood self-destructed.   Highgate Wood, a rock and roll ghost story, coming in 2025 from Palimpsest Productions   Learn more about your ad choices.

I keep getting confused about which story I'll be listening to because "Westside Fairytales" is also telling the story of a woman named Ash moving into and fixing a big old house lol

Seemed like she feels extremely guilty of what happened and her parents placed a lot of blame on her too. She was eight years old and it boggles my mind no one ever told her it wasn’t her fault. It was absolutely her shitty parents fault for having a LOADED gun in an UNLOCKED box UNDER a bed. Kids play hide and seek. Kids crawl under beds. I mean I know it’s a story but I just kept thinking about how crappy and irresponsible her parents were! Unload gun, lock it in a lock box, or lock it in a bedside drawer or way up in the closet. How dare they blame their shitty stupid life choices.

Palimpsest manages to tell big stories while feeling so intimate. It's like a soft blanket with jagged edges. I adore it.

A lovely layered, melancholic story with great voice acting. They need a little more time to produce season 3, which gives everyone who didn't listen to seasons 1 & 2 yet a chance to catch up. #ambassadorrecommends

Palimpsest is beautiful, melancholic, and haunting. The voice actress draws you in close and personal. Looking forward to season 3 in September.

Okay. I just can't. I tried to stick it out because the storyline was good. I can't do it. This girl is driving me crazy. I was really enjoying the story but the back and forth about Claire? Just no. And her lying about stuff happening with Claire? Is that supposed to make the story better?

Great podcast that is well acted with a well-developed storyline that has a touch of Hitchcock mixed with Twilight Zone. Check this out!

Not for me. I had high hopes for something intriguing, but this story just fell flat.
