In this episode of the Fogcast, we explore a realm of horror which has languished in antiquity but is finding new life in the modern era. From whispers in empty rooms to the creak of old floorboards, audio has a way of slipping past your defenses, and tonight’s guest has spent his career mastering that uncanny power.
We’re joined by Fred Greenhalgh, Maine‑born audio dramatist and pioneer of on‑location recording. Growing up in East Machias, Fred’s childhood was shaped by eerie encounters and rural folklore that later fueled his approach to sound‑driven storytelling. Together, we talk about the landscapes that linger, the history of audio drama, and how real environments can become characters in fiction through sound design.
If you’re fascinated by immersive horror, field recording, or the strange magic of stories carried on the wind, this conversation cuts straight to the heart of it.
