When Nina arrives at the community radio station after midnight, the red recording light in Studio Two is already on.

Inside, she finds engineer Oliver Finch slumped at the mixing desk — a recorder still running beside him, capturing the silence that followed his death.

As Nina listens back, the audio reveals something impossible: a hidden voice, a recorded threat, and a signal buried inside the broadcast itself.

What begins as a murder scene quickly unravels into something far darker — a conspiracy hidden in sound, where missing people are “filed” into silence and the airwaves themselves become a weapon.

Dead Air is a gritty psychological murder mystery blending crime thriller tension with eerie audio horror — the first story from The Pin Drop, a podcast where the quietest moment always hides the deadliest truth.
