Fristed
Winter has come early! We are exceedingly proud to present our newest story: The White Vault.
Explore the far reaches of the world’s horrors in the audio drama podcast The White Vault. Follow the collected records of a repair team sent to Outpost Fristed in the vast white wastes of Svalbard and unravel what lies waiting in the ice below.
Our premiere episode introduces our international team to the cold fields of Norway’s distant island, Svalbard. They head out for their small haven in the snow, Outpost Fristed, just as a storm settles in.
This is the remixed version of our first episode for The White Vault.
In addition to being a total remix, I've added a few sound effects (some of which were accidentally muted in the original), swapped a few different takes for the voice actors, and adjusted the pacing to be more in line with later episodes. The result feels like a much stronger entry into The White Vault, particularly from a "This sounds good with headphones" perspective.

This is my second listen! I'm excited to get all the bonus content as a patreon member!
You'll catch many more details this time around most likely ;)
Might be my…fourth or fifth listen!?! Absolutely one of my favorite fiction works in any format. Thank you so much!
Back to the beginning again! Bravo and thank you!
The White Vault has to get picked up by one of the main streaming services soon... done right it would be one of the most suspenseful creepy & engaging shows ever made. People love the Last of Us (I enjoy it too) but it has nothing on the White Vault's complexity, generally hellish situations (seriously worst nightmare scenarios) and horrifying monsters. Very original writing. Nothing quite like this has been written If Netflix makes a grab for it get commitment they won't cut it after 2 seasons as they typically do to sci-fi. (Not sure this is sci-fi.... could be supernatural in origin, I'm hoping to find out by the end of the series.)
We can only hope! And we will always be protective of our IP. If anyone wants to make it in a different format, we don't want things to change too much.
It's so smooth now
The addiction to the white vault is real. Are we due for another episode yet???
I'll be honest, I LOVED Jonas' "Glasses!" in the original. He had a few times that the way he said things were just perfect.
Same
This is great! Season 1 has become a bit of a Thanksgiving tradition for me. Third year in a row I've listened over the long weekend. Heading to Artifact now!! Nothing quite captures the spirit of the holidays like "Travel Not Advised".
I always relisten during the summer
Well I guess I have to restart the series again. *straps in*
Is this replacing the original in the standard podcast feed? And by remix, do you mean scenes changed beyond what takes were used?
This will replace the original in the standard podcast feed within 2 weeks. By remix: It's the same scenes, words, and cast, in the same order. We re-did the audio mixing process from scratch, and a few new subtle SFX were added.
