   Something New

   Greetings, fans of My Russian Clementine.  We are excited to tell you about our rock'n'roll murder mysteries.  Like My Russian Clementine, they're full cast audio dramas.  The Bonds of Affection takes place in 1978 in Santa Monica.  And we've just released a kind of prequel to it called The Phantom of Ocean Park. In 1968, Ocean Park in Santa Monica was one of those quintessential places at the epicenter of "Somethin' happenin' here", to quote Stephen Stills. Ocean Park, Venice, by the water... it was Haight-Ashbury… with a beach. All peace and love, until Santa Monica City and its developers imposed eminent domain and bulldozed the beach neighborhoods, devastating families and bankrupting P-O-P, our beloved amusement park, so they could tear down the pier and start throwing up high-rises from Pico to Venice. But that summer of '68, they had a big problem. The Cheetah, Ocean Park's world-renowned rock'n'roll club, was still on the pier and wildly popular, with bands like Creedence packing the house nightly…. Then the murders started. The Phantom of Ocean Park, a full cast rock'n'roll murder mystery, wherever you listen to podcasts.
