Most of the podcasts that I have featured have been non-fiction. Usually one person talking to another person. But this month, we head back to a style that was more prevalent before TV. Fiction. In this case the Marvel universe and Wolverine (pre Logan).
The series is called The Long Night and it follows Agents Pierce and Marshall as they investigate a series of maulings and murders with enough suspects, drugs and dirty dealing to keep a herd of FBI busy.
I started writing about the cool things about this podcast and it got too long, so a list will need to suffice:
1. Wolverine does not get top billing
2. The foley and sound effects are top notch
3. The agent characters are new in attitude while still formulaic
4. The voice acting is very naturalistic
5. Each episode is an easily digestable 35 – 40 minutes
And since this show is set in Alaska, best to find some Alaskan Brewing beers (which we get some of down here in the sun). Imperial Red Ale for the blood spilled would be one good choice as wood the Smoked Porter for atmosphere. Then pick up one of their IPA’s to be as bitter as Logan is during the series.
