Echoes (In) Between is a metaphysical audio drama podcast created by Brystal Studios. The story follows friends, Gemma Avots and Thomas Fonte, two thirty-something journalists based out of the Twin Cities who have decided to start a podcast about a radical new form of memory therapy. They have enlisted the help of a former psychology professor, Dr. Adrian Thorne, who developed a proprietary memory recall method that consists of having his subjects listen to specially designed tracks that contain frequencies which mimic brain wave patterns. Every week, Gemma, Thomas, and their listeners dive into their childhood memories with Dr. Thorne, hoping to recover long lost details. But when the hosts of the podcast begin developing worrying symptoms, what they thought would be a simple side project suddenly turns into an in-depth investigation into what Dr. Thorne’s frequency tracks actually do to the people who listen to them.

Echoes (In) Between features light Sci-Fi elements as well as darkly comedic dialogue. The story highlights the pertinent themes of coping with generational trauma after an event that affected the entire world, as well as the effects of mental health deterioration on individuals and the people around them. But above all, Echoes (In) Between is a story about friendship and how complicated and nuanced non-romantic long-term relationships can be as we grow and change in adulthood.
