The episode was amazing! Definetly one of my favorite from season 3, if not a favorite overall. I can’t wait to listent to the rest of the Revelation episodes!

Thanks again for an amazing show!

Thank you all for that most generous shout-out.

Great cast!

I would like to see a reccomendations page if you have any other audio dramas to share.

Mostly due to the fact that I noticed many similarities to myself in his attitude, interests and demenor. Than I started to wonder if people found me as exasperating as the residents of wormwood find Crowe to be. Than I remembered that I don’t care.

Anyway, keep up the good work.

Cheers,

Good-bye and good luck. .

Wormwood is enormous fun. It combines aspects of many of the things I love best: vintage supernatural thrillers, gothic horror (southern and otherwise), black comedy, and both vintage and modern radio drama. I’m having an excellent time with it.

And the bloke who plays Crowe deserves a big slap on the back for his English accent – there aren’t many British or American actors who can make it sound like they actually came from the other side of The Pond.

I’m looking forward to ploughing through the episodes as I garden (current unusually warm northern English summer weather permitting).

Not that I can’t wait for the season to be over or anything. I can’t wait to hear more of the talented voices and exquisite writing!

Thanks for all the hard work you guys do!

Thief of Sepharvaim – Robert E. Howard (Conan the Barbarian)
Memento Mori – Bram Stoker (Dracula)
Dead Man’s Hand – Dashiell Hammet (The Maltese Falcon)
Celery Farm – Richard Matheson (I Am Legend)
Left – modern authors of suspense

Episodes 10-12 are broken in the feed. You can get them on the site, but we can’t seem to get iTunes to refresh our entire feed.

We *did* re-published those episodes between episodes 19-20 in the feed, so if you use iTunes, you can just look there and grab ‘em!

Though, with that voice and attitude (well, the attituce that Xander has, anyway), he’d make a great Doctor Who!

That said — if you really think about it, you’ll see that the plot IS moving forward. You’ve learned a lot since the end of Season Two. Cedric’s daughter came back, and she’s one of Adramelech’s vampires. Wormwood is surrounded by vampires and werewolves. We learned about Bishop Grail’s mission. We learned of Deidre’s daughter, and we learned the depth of the relationship between Crowe and McQueen. We’ve learned the SNSA has a special freelance contractor, Henry Howe, inside Wormwood — and her connection to Crowe was revealed in the Five Fingers of Glory. Crowe and Sparrow have been resurrected and are prisoners of Bressier. Jimmy Details stole the Hand of Glory and ran away from Wormwood. Don Marino has been put in prison, removing his immediate threat.

But we suspect you want to know about the Object, eh? Well, the next installment tells you a LARGE portion of the history of the Object. How about that?

Once the Hermit’s Tale is out, the Portraits will be done. And then we’ll move onto Wormwood: Revelation, which will come in a few months. THAT series will be VERY similar to Season One… and you’ll get all of the stuff you’ve been waiting for regarding Adramelech’s plan, the nature of the Object, and Jacob’s final fate.

So we suggest you stick around for Revelation. We think you’ll enjoy.

I listen to a lot of s.f. and horror podcasts, and yours is the best by far in terms of both writing and acting.

I have only one tiny suggestion: please try to balance the sound a little better. Or just make the actor that plays Xander stand 10 feet away from his mike. He’s a spectacular actor, but his voice is so much louder than the others, especially some of the women, that I’m constantly fiddling with the volume so I can hear all the dialogue without having my eardrums blown out every time Xander comes back on.

I enjoyed what you did with the Hand of Glory background series, letting your writers stretch themselves a little by trying out different prose styles. And I’ve been eating up the Wormword Portraits. The characters just get better and better the more we learn about them. Keep up the good work!

And: We’ll challenge your assertion that you’ve only heard Crowe for a minute and a half this season. Crowe was heavily featured in The Queen’s Tale and the Merchant’s Tale, and if you listen to the rest of the Criminal’s Tale, Crowe is also heavily featured there. The Criminal’s Tale actually covers material leading up to the very first episode of the series, so if you’re curious about Amanda Marino and how Crowe got involved in that case — it’s all there.

Getting back to the main story? Maybe… We like to think that the main story is in all of these portraits, just examined from different angles. There are small tidbits in each of the portraits. For example, McQueen’s tale did reveal that there was a new character in Wormwood in the present. But the major plot that we suspect you’re looking for will be THE focus of Wormwood: Revelation, which will follow Wormwood Portraits.

Though I do have to ask, it didn’t sound like Cedric screaming at the end, did his daughter pull a switch and burn her boyfriend instead?

I just wasn’t clear from the ending. Great job!

I suspect at least a few of the remaining Portraits will have characters you like.

Our final 8 episodes, which form a mega-arc called “Revelation” will be much more in line with Seasons 1 & 2.

so far portraits isnt nearly as good as the first two seasons, a lot of characters i dont care about popping up more… hopefully the last four wont leave hanging.

I had pretty much given up on seeing Xander and Sparrow as anything other than ghosts. I admit this was an inventive twist, makes me wonder if the main story is starting up again?

Wherever you go from here, I look forward to joining you.

Plus all the backstory on the characters is quite fun as well.

Or maybe Jimmy just wooed the nation.

Nice to hear from Sparrow again at least, though I don’t think she and Xander will be as fun playing ghosts; assuming they are in fact dead. Hope the main story of Wormwood starts soon.

Also: yes, we know the box turns black. It’s our way of ensuring that you cannot take back the things you say. (j/k, of course.)

Ambrose is an unreliable narrator and our only perspective on his story. I’ll admit, it is a real challenge to tell a story in this epistolary style. There are clues in there as to what happened in his past, but even if that doesn’t come through, It’s still open to interpretation.

While I enjoyed the story itself, the ending seemed a little rushed. For all we know, the main character had killed his entire family and the letters could have been part of a delusion he created after committing the murder. I just felt you left too many loose threads in this one.

Looking forward to seeing what the hand is up to in the 1920′s though.

I think Lovecraft may have been too “on the nose” as you say. But really what it came down to was that we decided to chart different time periods, and we suggested a few ideas. I ended up with the 20′s, and it seemed more fun to do a Dashiell Hammett piece than a Lovecraft piece. Maybe it was a personal preference, but since we kinda do a bit of Lovecraft in all of our episodes, I found it more intriguing to go for a Hammett story.

I like the concept for the first few stories; very interesting choice of authors. Though I have to say, I was amazed HP Lovecraft wasn’t one of them. Was it just too obvious?

It could end at this point, yes, there’s some sort of closure here. But we are all hoping it doesn’t!

Gotta say, I was hoping for more from this episode. I expected some sort of major discovery or a turning point in the town’s conflict.

Still a fan of the series though. Any rough idea when season 3 will start?

The temporary problem we had has been fixed. Every file is now available and has been for a week or so. If you’re referring to Episode 10 of Season ONE, then that’s a different story. Episodes 10-12 do not work in iTunes because they never refreshed the feed. We’ve never been able to resolve that problem with iTunes, and so we RE-POSTED the files between Episodes 19 and 20 (Season One). If any other files do not work, please let us know. I know others have been listening to this episode. In fact, I downloaded it through iTunes myself.

All I can say is this: we love Crowe and the show wouldn’t be the same without him.

If so, I’m disappointed. I realize it must be increasingly difficult to think of reasons for him to stay, but he’s an integral character and I have trouble seeing much of a season finale with out him.

Otherwise, great episode; can’t wait to see how the season ends (hopefully with a few werewolves).

Keep it coming!

Wonder if the Mafia boss will be sending someone new to town?

Just listened to Season 2 – Episode 16 and I have to say that you all rock! Keep up the excellent work.

Great job, guys. This GeekCred interview in particular is really a lot of fun.

Glad you liked “it,” though.

Haha, man, we tried!

That said, really enjoying the story so far and I’m curious where you plan on taking things this season.

Loved the episode!

Glad Wormwood is back, can’t wait for more.

First of all, good work, Wormwood is a great audio mystery project.

Nice that our audio track “Horrorstyle” fits nicely in your audio mistery! We created it with a movie in mind, but this is also great.

Keep on the good work,

Greetings from Holland to all

PS. for Lucy, if you can’t wait regarding the music compilation, you can get the track at the internet archive, just google for:

Glad to see you’re back, hope for another chapter next week.

I hope all is well. Don’t forget there are a lot of us out here who love and miss you.

Keep up the good work.

I hope to hear you soon!

Peace and Love, Sam

Glad to hear things are coming along. This whole withdrawl thing is a bummer.

Skip

We do see all the comments! As for these episodes, they haven’t fixed the problem with the iTunes feed, but we DID re-post them later in the feed between episodes 19 and 20, I believe. So you can still get them through iTunes that way. Or, you can just download them here. Whichever works.

Love the show.

Cheers,

Bronzethumb

Keep up the good work, and i’ll see you in a month!

The story has been mapped out over three seasons. So we do have plans for a third season. And maybe some special little minis and spin-offs. We’ll see. Right now we’re just struggling to get through production on Season Two.

– David Accampo

Thats the first thing I thought of when Sparrow started telling the story.

We are switching to a Monday schedule though, mostly as a result of the remainder of this month. July = Crazy.

Sadly, Lemora is indeed dead and gone. Of course, that doesn’t necessarily mean that she’s out of the picture forever. She died in water, so a few ripples might not be out of line…

Regarding the music tracks, we’re currently talking about some options. Stay tuned!

1. Is that really it for Lemora forever? Because I really liked her character.

2. Is there any possiblity that the original music tracks played throughout both series will be made available to download either from this site, Habit Forming Films’ site OR even from iTunes? I ask this question with *specific* reference to the track played in the background of this episode’s opening scene. I do believe that I am in love with it…

The first was the sort of “stand-alone” feel it had, which was cool.

The second is that it feels really clean and well put-together.

You guys are doing a great job this season! Keep up the good work, i’m really excited for the rest of it!

Yes, this one’s kind of an experiment, really a hybrid of a lot things. One intent was to create a more singular episode to stand alongside the series plots. But more than anything, there were several threads created by Lemora’s presence in Season One that needed to be addressed (in one way or another, whether accurately or not) before the show moves on. And even still, there are elements that do reflect on the current direction of the season, so stay tuned. Nothing happens here without it causing ripples.

On a different note: a cleaned up version of this episode has been uploaded.

Thanks for your comments!

I am going to miss Lemora, she was an interesting character and I liked the idea of her and Crow living together.

I was such a huge fan of Season One, and now that Season Two has finally dropped I’m friggin stoked.

Thank y’all so much for putting out such an astonishingly high quality show, folks.

One of the things an audio drama has over Film/Video/TV is that you can listen to audios all over again without getting tired of it. Just like listening to music – audio lends itself to multiple listens whereas the visual medium tends not to.

Wormwood is compelling listening and I am hanging for series 2 to hit the internet.

Thanks for Postmortem 1, 2 & 3 they have been great to listen to and an interesting insight into all things Wormwood.

All the best with your terrific audio drama.

PS: Dr Xander Crowe is such a fabulous character.
along with the rest of the cast, all are great.

But, yeah, anything visual or detailed descriptions of the characters would be an awesome start!

One huge question that I hope will be covered by the next season of episodes: how did Dr. Crowe get the Hand!? >:D

Thank you for a wonderful show.

I am anxious for more!

Our fiction section is written whenever someone has spare time, so while we all want to write more about Sparrow, we haven’t gotten around to it. However, we do have lots of story plans for Sparrow.

IN regards to the child — that may have been a misunderstanding. Sparrow is not raising a child now. The sound in episode 21 was meant to be a baby crying from another apartment nearby.

What happened to Sparrow is still a mystery for another day…

My two main questions are about the child, is it supposed to be predestined for evil (why would she be raising it then?) and how did she begin working with Crow? You could try putting some kind of story on that in the fiction section, as I’d hate to have to wait until season two to find out.

Everyone should definitely visit Radio Drama Revival and check out the great work Fred is doing!

Fred

All the best

We’re aiming for April 2008. We’re writing the episodes now, and we’ve nailed down our plan for season 2. We hope to record in late March and debut in early April, but we don’t have firm dates yet.

Thanks for listening AND being such a great supporter of our show! I hope you’ll stick around for Season Two!

Thanks for listening, guys! You know, we wish we had a little more time with Sparrow in the end, but she’s a part of the master plan, so stay tuned…I think you’ll be happy with season two!

Thank you! Wow, the pressure’s really on for us to get Season Two in production!

We’re working on it! Stay tuned!

Thanks so much for the kind words! We’re so glad word is spreading, and we’re thrilled that you enjoyed Season One!

Keep up the great work and I will be back for seasons two and hopefully three as well!

Thanks so much! We worked hard on this season, and it means a lot to hear that folks are enjoying what we’re doing!

More info about Season Two is coming soon!

You people are…
really…
really…
really…
good!

Also, in the interim, we hope to keep up a weekly or bi-weekly podcast that features interviews, teasers, and behind-the-scenes snippets, so hopefully we can keep you all interested in Season 2!

Much more will be revealed in 23 and 24.

Thanks for listening and commenting! We hope you enjoy our final two episodes of the season!

Great acting from Sonia Perozzi and Arthur Russell!

“I love you Sparrow” lol

Thanks, David! Glad you’re enjoying it! We’ve got lots in store, and I think it’s only going to get better (and weirder) from here!

Wormwood is quirky, eccentric and highly imaginative ,,

Keep up the great work and production output.

David / Melbourne Au

I love it guys!!! Keep it up!

I’m dying fro the conclusion.

Our apologies. This is not a mac or PC issue, it’s a technical issue that we haven’t been able to resolve. We had to switch servers recently, and episodes 10-12 were originally listed on a different server. We’ve updated the feed to iTunes, but iTunes apparently doesn’t update the feed for older episodes. Thus, the episodes with updated links are not showing. The best answer I can give right now is to listen to 10-12 on this site on your computer. We’re working to find out if there’s a fix. You could also right-click and save these items, and then import them into iTunes (I know you can do that on a PC, and I assume you can on a Mac as well).

Sorry again for the inconvenience.

The Wormwood Staff

Thanks again for listening, and sorry again for the mix-up!

John De Lancie…hmmm… I can definitely see the similarities.

But Arthur Russell has never been a part of the Star Trek franchise.

And there’s Arthur’s sixth finger, a characteristic I believe Mr. De Lancie does not have. Unfortunately, we’re not allowed to talk about that. I know it gives Rob G. the heebie-jeebies, though.
