Summary
‘You and I are going to have a chat. If you hang up, this girl dies.’
Adam Turner works the mid-dawn shift at his local radio station. From 12am to 6am, it’s his job to fill the airtime with old songs, inane chatter, and the occasional talkback caller. It’s a long way from his prime-time slot from over a decade ago, when he was a star in the making. Now there’s no producers, no billboards, no stakes, and, crucially, not many listeners. His frequent callers are drunk college students headed home from a night out, or long-range truck drivers. He is completely alone in the studio from midnight until dawn every night.
And then one night at 12:45am, he gets a different kind of call, with higher stakes than he could ever have wanted. The caller’s rules are simple – stay on the line, live on air, until dawn, or the woman they are holding captive will die.
The night wears on and Adam is tormented by his caller, forced to answer increasingly personal questions, exposing his fall from grace for all to hear. He must try to figure out just who is calling him, what they really want, and how he can stop them. All while staying live on air, and keeping the psycho talking.
But as the conversation gets deeper, is Adam willing to broadcast his darkest secrets to the world in order to keep a stranger safe?

Well written quickly drawing in the reader and keeping them close. Despite the main protagonist being somewhat unsavoury, there is a definite empathy created and sympathy for his situation. The narration, performed by Luke Arnold, is very successful, increasing the atmosphere of fear and tension: a first class production with an occasional inclusion by Sybylla Budd

Worth Every Minute of Timr
Luke Arnold truly does an amazing job and brings an already fantastic story to life. The twists and turns and the final reveal are done to perfection. This is something I highly recommend.

Didn’t expect to get so hooked
Excellent story with an interesting twist. I could almost feel the atmosphere of the night time radio studio.
The narration was good but only gave it 4 stars as the remote voice was not always easy to hear

VG
Good twist to the end. V well performed and almost the right length - 20 minutes less would make it tighter.
