    This podcast uses immersive audio techniques that create a dimensional listening experience, we recommend you listen with headphones.

    Beyond Strange Lands is an action-packed and fantastical multi-cast audio drama that journeys across the Australian outback.

    In 1982, the famous paranormal expert Grant Peters went missing while filming his TV show Legendary Australia. His wife Melissa was never able to find him. When Melissa herself disappears nearly forty years later, her daughter Fiona and grandson Ethan trace her to the small outback town of Boulia. There they discover a collection of old audio tapes that Melissa left behind: a set of clues they must follow if they're to solve this mystery in time. Insidious forces will stop at nothing to destroy them, and an impossibly ancient menace lurks deep beneath the ground, waiting for the chance to strike....

Good

Did find the story interesting and the actors great. The boy annoyed me however. He was written in the typical whiny teenager format,

Home grown Aussie speculative fiction

I enjoy speculative fiction anyway but I particularly enjoyed how the whole story was framed as an Aussie road trip complete with references to Aussie legends such as Ned Kelly and mysteries such as what happened to Leichhardt.

Could not listen anymore.

Maybe it's just me, but I got through half of the first episode and couldn't continue.

Garbled so much to be unintelligible.

I do not know if it downloaded correctly or if intentional as all female voices were garbled and gave me a headache as I tried to listen.
