Journeys In The Dark a post-apocalyptic dark comedy. Created by Robert Best, directed by David Barr, and produced by David Barr and Alan O’Brien.
Journeys in the Dark is a mix between Of Mice and Men’s Odd Couple and the post-apocalyptic dark humour of Red Dwarf.
This audio drama follows the adventures of our two mismatched heroes Hod and Baulder. Throw in supernatural monsters, bandits, and the daily fight for survival and you’ve got an absurd dark comedy audio drama podcast that’s sure to tickle your funny bone while making you question reality.
It wasn’t always smooth sailing. Recorded in 2016 but left on the cutting room floor. Years of delays, international moves, and more than one child almost left this gem buried in the dust. But in late 2023, the winds shifted, and production ramped up. Now, we’re on the brink of unleashing these oddball adventurers into the world. So grab your makeshift Geiger counter and your most comfortable headphones and come join us.
Introducing Baulder and Hod. Two scavengers seeking supplies from the remains of an army barracks dating back before the end of society. Sent by the sheriff of the town of Shar, these two must brave the badlands beyond town to investigate the barracks.
Against the odds, our sort-of heroes Baulder and Hod survived their encounter with the Aggression Feeder at the Paulsdown barracks. Their reward? Sent suicide missions to the West Drift Farms.
Hod and Baulder find themselves again at the mercy of Sheriff Sharif. The task this time? Ambush the sheriff’s foolhardy cousin out in the wastes beyond town and protect her on a dangerous quest to discover new sources of precious water for the town of Shar.
