The stress of the investigation is taking a heavy toll on the team. Disharmony grows; an unwise decision is made and key understanding of the situation is challenged. Three years on from The Shadow Over Innsmouth, and Heawood's disappearance at Pleasant Green, the Lovecraft Investigations are back and podcaster Kennedy Fisher is following new clues in Julian Simpson’s H P Lovecraft-inspired universe. Cast: Kennedy Fisher - Jana Carpenter Matthew Heawood - Barnaby Kay Marcus Byron - Ben Crowe Eleanor Peck - Nicola Walker Victoria Ness - Catherine Kanter Caroline Morse - Kate Isitt Wilberforce Ashington-Heath - Rufus Wright Written and directed by Julian Simpson Music composed by Tim Elsenburg Sound design: David Thomas Production Assistant: Ethan Elsenburg Producer: Sarah Tombling Executive Producer: Karen Rose A Sweet Talk production for BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds
Before you listen to this BBC podcast, I'd like to tell you about something else you might enjoy.
My name's Alison Hindl, and I commission audio drama and fiction for the BBC.
It's a great privilege because I get to unearth stories people love.
You should see the books and scripts covering my floor from new talent and established writers, as well as classics.
The BBC has such a rich history of making great audio drama, we're still the largest producer in the world.
And the popularity of podcasts means we can share what we do with even more people.
So if you like to lose yourself in a gripping audio drama or book, find your next listen on BBC Sounds.
BBC Sounds music radio podcasts.
I think we follow the trail.
Because what else is there?
Not following the trail.
Following the discussion in the studio, Marcus Byron and Eleanor Peck had gone their separate ways.
Kennedy and I, looking for a change of scene, had decamped to the coffee place across the road to talk things over.
Isn't this just following the yellow brick road to more crazy, dangerous bullshit?
Almost certainly.
I thought the plan was to bring these people to account.
Yeah, it is, but which people?
To account for what?
Well, you have the next leader of the government involved in an occult conspiracy that's as near to fascism.
You can't prove it.
