Podcast Overview

Hawley Heights, once semi-famous for its Haunted Taxidermy Trail (until the incident, anyway) is not the place where anyone dreams of returning. But when Robin finds herself back in her hometown (and running a moderately illegal and largely pointless radio tourism show), strange things begin to happen. Power outages. Odd sounds over the radio waves. New/old bones that really shouldn't be in these woods. Plus - why is there a creepy sculpted T-Rex skull with taxidermied rabbit ears in the hardware store? Something's going down in Hawley Heights, and it's up to Robin and a group of intrepid, kinda cracked weirdos to figure it out! Zoic is a slightly surreal and certainly strange comedy/horror podcast from the people behind Academicasaurus. It was created by Mary O'Reilly and Amanda Funk Hilton, and is written and produced by Mary. New episodes, during the season, are posted weekly on Mondays.

Ad Break

In the aftermath of the failed Harvest Festival, Robin and the gang are trying to get back to some semblance of normal (or, at least, as normal as Hawley Heights can get). However, a voice from the past points towards the future - and season two! -------------------------------------- Our performers this episode are Amanda Funk Hilton as Robin, Peter Brinson as Officer Ben, Lisa Brinson as Deputy Coral, Noah Moran as Hammer Mike, Maryna Matlock as Lotte, Bernard O'Reilly as Harold, and Sara Lynn Dix as Charlotte DeBernier. Featuring Karl and Nora as the kids on the tape, and introducing Elyse Eltrich as Mallory Irvine! Zoic was created by Mary O'Reilly and Amanda Funk Hilton, and was written, directed, and edited by Mary. Our theme song is…changing, apparently. All other music is done by Mary, with sound effects from iMovie. You, traveler, have reached the season one finale for Zoic. Fear not - season two is coming next fall! If you enjoyed your first Hawley Heights Harvest Festival, please let us know by subscribing, or giving us a like or a comment (depending on what platform you find yourself visiting), or tell three friends - no more, no less - about us. You can also always be old fashioned and drop us a note at academicasaurus@gmail.com! We do have an old ko-fi account at Ko-fi.com/academicasaurus if you think that providing some caffeine might help us work a bit faster, but honestly, we'd just be happy to hear from you. Thanks for listening to season one of Zoic! Sleep tight, town bound travelers. Don't let the Bunnysaurus Rex bite.
