Unwell is a gothic horror podcast set in a small town in Ohio, created by HartLife NFP. A podcast with conspiracies, ghosts, and unusual families of blood and choice, Unwell demonstrates how the horror genre can be a tool for explore issues of identity, health, disability, time, and nostalgia. Unwell was named the Best Podcast or Online Audio Drama in the 2021 BBC Audio Drama Awards, and has won four 2020 Audio Verse awards, including Production, Writing for a Production, Director of a Production (Jeffrey Nils Gardner), and Supporting Actor in a Production (Marsha Harman as Dot). Join members of Unwell cast and crew to discuss the origins of the show, the lore and mythos involved in world-building, and the importance of inclusion and diversity to the show.
