TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S MESSAGE:
(sounds of Eiffel fidgeting, while tense, dramatic music plays)
Eiffel: Come on come on come on... where is he? Doctor...
(door opens)
Eiffel: Ah, Doctor Hilbert! Thank goodness, there you are! I need help.
Hilbert: Officer Eiffel. What seems to be the problem?
Eiffel: I - I don’t know. I feel like nothing I do sounds the way it ought to. The funny parts aren’t funny. The exciting parts aren’t exciting. It’s like I’ve lost the script on my whole life.
Hilbert: I see. Do not be worried, Officer Eiffel. Problem is serious but there is simple solution.
Eiffel: Is the great clown Pagliacci in town?
Hilbert: Even better.
(music abruptly changes, replaced by a more playful melody)
Hilbert: Podcast creator Gabriel Urbina is offering online workshop on how to write the great audio fiction.
Eiffel: He is?
Hilbert: He is. Is comprehensive journey through the building blocks of gripping podcast stories.
Eiffel: Does it cover the basics of how to write scenes without any visuals?
Hilbert: Absolutely. But it goes beyond that. It explains how audio fiction can do things no other medium does, such as making the audience imagine visuals that cannot be seen.
Eiffel: You mean like that weird room in the back of the station, where the walls are painted a color that’s darker than black?
Hilbert: Precisely. Or the way you can introduce a new detail into scene and completely change audience’s understanding of what was happening.
Eiffel: Oh! Is that why you’re dressed up as a Teletubby? To illustrate that concept?
Hilbert: Uh... no. I am wearing this for... my own purposes. Do not ask any more questions about the outfit.
Eiffel: I am not going to ask any more questions about the outfit. Well, Doc, I have to say I’m sold.
(a laminated card is placed on the table)
Eiffel: Will my insurance cover this?
Hilbert: Eiffel, you know very well that Goddard Futuristics does not offer health insurance to independent contractors such as yourself.
Eiffel: Awww man...
Hilbert: This is Dave and Busters gift card.
Eiffel: But it's still valid!
Hilbert: But: more good news. There are scholarship opportunities available for students and others who need them. Visit website for more information.
Eiffel: (leaving) Amazing. Doc, this sounds exactly like what I needed. How can I repay you?
Hilbert: No need, happy to be of assistance. (lower) Besides, genetic materials nanobots collected while you were in laboratory will be perfectly adequate display of gratitude.
Eiffel: What was that, doc?
Hilbert: Nothing, Officer Eiffel, nothing! Enjoy the class!
(music changes again, replaced with a bouncy, happy theme)

Wolf 359 creator Gabriel Urbina is back to present a quick preview of his new show Dracula: The Danse Macabre. It's a four-part adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel, bringing the horror classic to audio fiction. Performed by just two performers - the incredible Evangeline Young and Change of Mind's Peter Coleman - who bring 15 distinct characters to life, it tells the story of the evil Count Dracula's plan to bring death and destruction to the new world... as well as those who would risk everything to stop him. Featuring a new score from Wolf 359 composer Alan Rodi and sound design by Unwell producer Jeffrey Nils Gardner.
To listen to full episodes of Dracula: The Danse Macabre, visit their website or subscribe to the show's feed on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Pocket Casts.
TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S MESSAGE:
Gabriel Urbina: Hey everyone. My name is Gabriel Urbina. I'm the creator of Wolf 359, and the co-creator of Zero Hours, Time:Bombs, and Unseen. I'm back here on the feed to send you all a short transmission to tell you about a new audio fiction podcast I've made, and which you can listen to right now.
It's called Dracula: The Danse Macabre, and it's a new adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel. Over four episodes, it tells the story of the evil Count Dracula, his plans to leave his home of Transylvania to terrorize the new world, and the married couple who do everything in their power to stop him. It's the timeless horror classic given a new coat of podcast paint for the 21st Century, and the whole thing is performed by just two actors, who together bring 15 different different characters to life.
I wrote every installment of this adaptation, and I also got to work with some amazing people on these four episodes. Our two actors, Evangeline Young and Peter Coleman - the latter of whom you may remember from our Change of Mind special here on Wolf 359 - they are both unstoppable forces of nature. It has a new gorgeous score from Wolf 359 composer Alan Rodi and incredible sound design from Unwell producer Jeffrey Nils Gardner. And I was even able to twist our old friend Sarah Shachat's arm enough that she agreed to come by the studio and direct an episode.
You're about to hear a little preview of the show in just a second, but the first two episodes are actually out right now. So if you find yourself at all intrigued and you need some new spooky content in your life for the end of the year, please consider checking out Dracula: The Danse Macabre. There are links in the episode description for all the places where you can hear it. I hope you'll check it out, I hope you'll enjoy it, and - as always - thank you for listening.
TRANSCRIPT OF THE TRAILER:
Woman: The rules that govern the vampire are well known.
(Thunder crashes behind her. A storm grows in power beneath the following:)
Woman: He does not die, but clings to life forever.
(Dark, foreboding music plays beneath her words.)
Woman: Having lost his own life, he must steal the life of others by drinking their blood.
Woman: If a place is a home, he may only enter after he's been invited in.
Woman: He is destroyed by the sun and cowers at the sight of religious symbols.
Woman: He can be put to rest by a stake through the heart, or by the removal of his head, or by means of fire.
Woman: And when he crosses a mirror... he leaves behind no reflection.
Woman: And though the vampire may look like a man, all traces of intelligence vanish upon death, leaving behind nothing but a beast. There are no vampires that can think like a man.
Man: None... except for one.
(A powerful crash of thunder.)
Announcer: Dracula: The Danse Macabre. A four-part fiction podcast event from Gabriel Urbina, the creator of Wolf 359, bringing Bram Stoker's timeless horror classic to audio. Coming November 13th, wherever you get your podcasts.

Investigative reporter Andrea Nash is having a very good day. She's flown halfway around the world on a very special assignment: an exclusive interview with Marcus Cutter, the infamous Director of Communications for Goddard Futuristics. It's a shot at journalism greatness, and Nash intends to make the most of it. But as she gets closer and closer to unearthing the earth-shaking story she's after, her subject gets more and more defensive... and starts considering more radical means of eliminating the unwanted attention. Plus, terrors to work for, a big, honking private plane, the charms of analog recorders, things no monkey could ever manage, and the fiery intensity of a thousand burning suns.
