Turner, Christopher (MW) Limetown 100

Limetown is a scripted, radio play-style podcast that premiered in 2015 and was created by Zack Akers and Skip Bronkie. Akers and Bronkie self-financed the first season of Limetown with the intention of using the series as a "calling card" for their new production company, Two Up Productions. While Limetown is a fictional story, the show uses a documentary format that is very reminiscent of the mega-popular podcast Serial. The story of Limetown concerns the titular village which was a secretive research facility in the mountains of Tennessee. Ten years ago, the entire population of 300 people vanished literally overnight. A public radio reporter named Lia Haddock (played by actress Annie Sage-Whitehurst) begins an investigation in order to unravel the mystery of what happened in Limetown. While the show falls into the realm of science fiction, it has genuinely terrifying moments that rival any recent horror film or television show. The first season concluded in December, 2015, and includes 6 full length episodes plus a handful of teaser episodes. They are available for free via iTunes, YouTube and the show's website www.limetownstories.com<http://www.limetownstories.com> .
Below is a link to a brief video teaser that was created for season 1.
