Twigs and Hearts



Full cast Horror Serial Audio Drama


Synopsis:

A book that ties many together. Who picks up a copy? What powers do they serve? Between missing people and people missing, who will you trust? Twigs and Hearts Open at your own risk.


Season one follows Iris and Zenith, two neurodivergent campers, on their hunt to find their friend who mysteriously disappeared from camp. With help through their radio from Dylan and Freya, the four perform rituals and travel through dangerous woodlands. It follows powerful entities, creatures from both British and American folklore, and self-aware existentialism. Questioning what defines “living” and “human”, this podcast looks grief directly in the eye. With a seemingly harmless 1950s/60s transatlantic sitcom, fourth wall breaking, and the blur of reality, Twigs and Hearts mixes new and old to give horror an unsettling tweak.
