Episode 209: Talk to Me w/ Benjamin Hunting and the Sci-Fi Thriller Dead Air

Today we have the return of Benjamin Hunting to the podcast as we talk about the Sci-Fi Thriller Dead Air live on Kickstarter built around 90's College Radio culture. A huge aspect in many lives as through different sub-genres the music brought them together. Benjamin creates a story of a group of friends whose trajectory in their adolescence is changed forever by the so called death of their friend Josie. In the same time period a prototype is introduced to the market where once a year through text you can speak to someone who has died. Michelle (the eyes of the story) through Time jumps from 1997 to 20+ years later in 2011 has felt guilt by Josie not being here and her guilt wasted those 2 decades to find that Josie has not perished, but has merely disappeared. Now compelled to bring the group together again, Michelle brings the rest of her friends from college to explain the truth. Question is how can you describe her vanishing when people have moved on with their lives or are we reliving trauma.
