11th Hour Audio

• Apollyon

  In this episode, we dive into Apollyon, the award-winning sci-fi audio drama created by writer and director Faith McQuinn with sound design by Joshua Suhy. Set in the 22nd century, Apollyon tells the story of a world forever changed by a deadly virus and the scientists racing to secure humanity’s future. But what truly sets Apollyon apart is its heart. Faith McQuinn crafts characters who are three-dimensional, intimate, and deeply human—relationships that feel both familiar and surprising, driving the tension and emotion at every turn. Joshua Suhy complements that vision with immersive sound design, building the sense of space and atmosphere that makes the world come alive. Together, Faith and Joshua show how creative teams transform compelling stories into fully realized experiences. Apollyon isn’t just a podcast you hear—it’s a world you inhabit. Seasons 1 and 2, along with the mini-series Patient Zero and Chronicles, are available now wherever you listen to podcasts. Season 3 is in pre-production and will debut in 2025.
