Incoming
Incoming is a cinematic audio series about how people respond when they believe they have only 20 minutes to live. It is loosely inspired by the 2018 false missile alert in Hawaii. Each episode features a different city, time period, and cast of characters reacting to news of an incoming missile. The show mixes terrifying, absurd, heartwarming, and heartbreaking tones. It was created by screenwriter and composer David Singer and features many guest performers.
