It's #PhantomPulse time!!! I'm working with THE @laurenshippen.com to make a podcast about a 90s band who can banish ghosts with the power of music.

Starring Nicholas Podany, Erin Caesar, Erika Ishii, Briggon Snow and Juliana Gutiérrez Arango, I promise you this thing is going to go SO. HARD. 🎸👻
PHANTOM PULSE - a 90s audio drama musical
PHANTOM PULSE is a rock audio drama about love, death, and everything in between from Lauren Shippen, creator of The Bright Sessions.

making audio fiction is really hard. making audio fiction that is also a 90s rock album and also a series of exorcisms is even harder.

since early 2023, I've been developing PHANTOM PULSE, a story about an aspiring band who exorcise ghosts with their music.

A screenshot of the Phantom Pulse Kickstarter page on mobile which Ella has doodled on with red arrows to point at one of the goals - specifically, if $10,000 is reached in 48hrs by 8am PT 11/7/25 then every backer in the first 48hrs gets a temporary tattoo of the show's spectral guitar. The campaign is currently at $8,304 of its $50,000 goal. The Phantom Pulse spectral guitar - it's an electric guitar layered over itself anaglyph style, cherry red over electric blue, with translucent purple flames coming off the top. It's against a black background.

this is no longer in the pilot of Phantom Pulse (which you can hear if you're a plus pal!) but an ongoing question for both me as the writer + the band is:

what do you call it when you play a music gig but really what you're doing is ghost-busting?

ghoulapalooza? cleansing concert? macabaret?
a screenshot from a script for Phantom Pulse REN It's different because when we're playing one of our... special gigs- JO GRave party you mean- BREMMER Eh, we're not rave music- CAL Haunt rock- JO Boangie down- BREMMER Ghoulapalooza- ASH Macabaret- JO Ooh- CAL That's good- JO One of these days we're gonna crack it. REN We've been trying for six years, I don't think we're ever gonna crack it.
