The Night Road

The cover of the podcast: The illustration shows a brightly coloured caravan wagon illuminated by a campfire. To the left of it there's a road that leads into darkness. In the back, far from the wagon, a circle of light illuminates some mountains and the road can be seen again.

In a land without day and night, where Light and Night are the dividing lines between civilisation and all else, a caravan of misfits and outcasts must find their way through the dark to whatever lies on the other side.

Arlo Harker has just been appointed as Chronicler of the Road. As such, his job is to keep an account of his Caravan as it braves the darkness to travel from city to city, and report on the Road and its changes.

But this new role comes with expectations of leadership that Arlo doesn’t feel fully comfortable with. Especially as he already has his hands full with his young daughter, who is still grieving her mother and is new to this life. On top of all of this a voice seems to be following Arlo, waiting for him in the dark, twisting what used to be familiar into something to fear.

The nuanced social commentary of its fantasy world and the interesting and charming characters in the podcast easily won me over. I really hope you give it a chance too.
