Static County

About Static County

On the overnight shift at a dying AM station in Calder County, Texas, new host June Castillo takes a call at 2:17 a.m. from a soft-spoken listener who knows what's about to happen, right before it does. The number he's calling from was disconnected in 1987, the night the station's first overnight host vanished on the air. Ten nights to Halloween. One request line. And something out in the static that's been waiting a long, long time. Static County is a ten-part Southern-gothic radio noir from Narratique: a late-night call-in show you'd actually listen to, with truckers, diner waitresses, a sheriff with a secret, and a voice on line four that shouldn't exist. One night per episode, October 22 to Halloween. Listen in order. Voices in this series are AI-generated. Written, scored and sound-designed by Narratique Studios.
