Sam Enfield's weekly broadcast about the Arcane Arts! Award-winning cosy horror podcast by @hangingsloths. Part of @theRustyQuill Network. Tune in, get spooky.
Today marks 3 years since the first episode of Spirit Box Radio!!
In the gloom and misery of 2020, I started writing a show about an unlikely radio host and the unfolding mystery of his past. The day the first episode dropped, it had just 24 downloads.

SBRR delayed two days!!!
I though today was TUESDAY it was Wednesday, and I'm not yet happy with Pt.4. of SBRR!! It will release for Patreon folks on Friday, and on Saturday for everyone else!!
Thank you for your patience <3
Nominations for the Audio Drama Yearbook are open for a few more days if any of you would like to nominate our little show :)

'Have I missed my chance?' - Sometimes I wonder if there are things I've missed out on and it's too late to embark on, but I guess you can't do everything?
the second Spirit Box Radio Retrospective is here!!
This time, Eira uses SBRR to look back at episodes 11-20 of season one, bringing us up to the show's first ever Midseason Finale, reflecting on audience growth, the impact of finishing Clockwork Bird, and the changes to Sam!

At the moment, I'm putting together SBRR, which is a series of retrospectives on Spirit Box Radio! I'm tackling them in chunks of episodes, but I'm considering also doing special episodes where I focus in on a specific character or thing! Who would you most want to hear about?!
Milestones round up!!!
Over the last couple of weeks:
NQD has surpassed 30k downloads!!
Clockwork Bird has hit 80k downloads!!!
Today it looks like the total downloads for all three shows, including these two and @spiritboxradio, will hit HALF A MILLION. Which is BONKERS.
Starting soon, I will be revisiting the show chunks of several episodes in a brand new retrospective which will drop fortnightly in the OG SBR feed. Each episode of SBRR will focus on several episodes of SBR, starting with SBR 1.1 up to 1.10!
I'll be looking at themes, giving insight into the process of making each portion of the show, discussing what I might approach differently, and picking out specific characters to think more closely about their impact in each section of the show!
I'm looking forward to re-exploring the show in this way with you all!
For now, happy birthday, Spirit Box Radio, and remember to stay spooky, faithful listeners!!

Now it's steadily approaching half a million!!
93 episodes, 26 voice actors, nearly 28 hours of content, many deaths, at least one resurrection, half a dozen or so Big Emphatic Speeches, and a whole lot of blood and tears, the show is now complete.
Happy Birthday Sam Enfield!!
This is Sam's first post-show birthday, and I'm feeling emotional about it. The show's birthday is the 19th, whichmeans that M's last episode of Spirit Box Radio would have aired at 3am on 12/11/2020, the day before Sam's birthday.

To my memory, at no point in the show does he ever bring this up, but it's a sad little extra detail I think makes things just that little bit worse.
Sam's birthdays are likely a lot better in her absence, honestly.
Anyway, I wish you all a very happy Sam's birthday!
