It's become something of a tradition here at The Bittersweet Life podcast to air an original radio play at Halloween or Christmas time, by our friends over at AudioImagination77 Productions.

You'll be happy to hear that this year is no exception! Katy's brilliant friend Matthew P. Woerner returns with Rearview, another tantalizing and spine-tingling radio drama to properly celebrate Halloween. Based on the urban legend "Highbeams," this original production will get you in the perfect mood for our spookiest holiday.

So settle into your favorite chair, turn down the lights, pour yourself a cup of something hot, close your eyes, and let this audio play come to life.
