The Imperfection

Wolf at the Door Studios, Alexander Kemp

Nominated for BEST PODCAST OF THE YEAR and BEST FICTION SCREENWRITING at the AMBIES 2022!! Also an Official Selection at Tribeca Film Festival! Here's the deal: Charlie and Amber both suffer from a rare condition that causes them to hallucinate, but when their psychiatrist suddenly goes missing, they rally together with the doctor’s other patients to search for him. Along the way, they encounter secret societies, half-human half-spider centaurs, and a hidden borough of New York under the East River. But how do you find the truth when you can’t tell what’s real?

    Featured: THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN

    Our latest podcast from Wolf at the Door Studios, THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN, won Best Audio Fiction from an Established Creator in 2023, and has recently been nominated for five Ambie awards. So naturally, we wanted to share. THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN was written and directed by Alex Kemp, writer/director of The Imperfection and Modes of Thought in Anterran Literature. This 9 part limited series follows Raul’s life in Hong Kong as it is turned upside down when he discovers that he can exchange letters with Sara Cloutier, an erotic fiction writer who’s been dead for thirty years. On the run from mysterious forces, Sara and Raul race to meet ‘in the middle,’ in a life-changing attempt to find meaning in a broken and absurd world. We hope you love our latest work, the finale of THE VERY WORST THING THAT COULD POSSIBLY HAPPEN is set to be released 3/1/24. You can catch up on the rest of the show here: https://cms.megaphone.fm/channel/vwt Also, come hang out with us wherever you hang out online! We're @watdstudios on all platforms and we hang around r/audiodrama quite a bit. Thanks for listening from all of us at Wolf. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
