Weaver

Lorna has been in this house for a long time. Maybe forever. She remembers nothing from before, only a name that she's turned into a god, into her own private religion. But when two newcomers arrive, Lorna must break from her desolate state to make herself known to them. Weaver is a new fiction podcast about loneliness, understanding, and the threads that connect them. For more information about the show, visit weaverpod.carrd.co.

WEAVER, Teaser Trailer:

“Haunted”

By Newton Sweeney

SOUND: THE NOISES OF AN OLD, RUN-DOWN HOUSE. SOME CREAKING, RUSTLING OF CURTAINS AS WIND BLOWS IN FROM AN OPEN WINDOW. THE HOUSE SHOULD FEEL EMPTY, DESOLATE. THIS CONTINUES FOR MAYBE FIVE SECONDS BEFORE WE HEAR A VOICE.

LORNA:

Helena? Are you there?

(BEAT)

You’re listening. I’m sure you are. This is only a test of faith.

I’m waiting for you, my love. Sometimes I think I’ve been waiting forever, and I’ll keep waiting until–

SOUND: STATIC.

Hm. No, you’ll be here soon.

SOUND: STATIC AGAIN, GROWING FROM BARELY AUDIBLE UNTIL IT NEARLY DROWNS LORNA’S VOICE.

While I wait, Helena, can I tell you a story?

SOUND: STATIC FALLS TO A LOW HUM AS THE THEME STARTS TO PLAY.

VOICE:

Weaver will premiere on Friday, August 20th wherever you get your podcasts. Visit weaverpod.carrd.co for more information. Will you come with us on this journey?
