Azathoth Blues is a cosmic horror audio drama created by Jonas Kyratzes (The Talos Principle) and Chris Christodoulou (Risk of Rain), who previously brought you Gospels of the Flood.
Something is deeply wrong in the city. Strange murders are being ignored, dangerous new drugs are spreading, corporations are corrupting everything they touch, and the law itself seems to have a price tag.
Into this mess step three cops who, against all odds, have stayed honest. Harrison Crane (Joe Lynch) is a war veteran slowly drinking himself into oblivion. Ben Wade (Adam Green) is an idealist desperately trying to stay hopeful. Susan Danton (Kacey Camp) is principled, analytical, and utterly alone. The reward for their integrity is reassignment to the Unified Cold Case Taskforce, an infamous unit buried in a basement office nicknamed the Murder Dungeon and overseen by Captain Donovan (Sean Branney), a legendary hardass no one wants to work for. But nothing is quite as it appears, and what starts as a dead-end assignment turns into something far stranger. Their pursuit of answers will lead them on a journey into paranoia, conspiracy, murder, ritual, and madness.
But will finally uncovering the truth save them, or destroy them?

Published 5 Aug 2026 · Transcript excerpt
[…] You just have clean audio of everyone. But I very much wanted to work with those three in the room. I thought the show cannot happen if you don't have those three actors in one room playing off of each other, reacting to each other, even adjusting the line sometimes or improvising. And that was also a challenge for me just as a director, as director. you know, to go in with a bunch of actors who don't know the material. This is the important thing that we're also going to talk about that more in the various extras. But it was written and it was my choice that they got to see the first episode. […]
