Woodbine: A Parkdale Haunts Production

Hello listeners, it's Alex. If you're looking for Woodbine, don't worry, we'll be back soon with Season 3, but for now, if you're looking for something to listen to, you might want to check out Harvey In Hell, a new show from Christopher Scott McClure, creator of the award-winning fiction podcast The Milkman of St. Gaff's — a supernatural mystery show about childhood, memory, and the things we're...

This goes out to all the lovers, yearners, and endlessly longing people out there, because what's more romantic than pining from afar? A lot of things, but that's cold comfort when you are trapped and unable to feel the warmth of another... CW: drug use Featuring the voices of: Emily Kellogg as Grace Alex Nursall as Bea Ian Boddy as Rhys Rob Deobald as Lennox and J Strautman as Hollis Woodbine is...

Everyone is trapped by something. Maybe you're in a house you can't leave, maybe you're in a meeting that never seems to end, and maybe you're stuck in a situation where any good outcome is slipping away, every opportunity to make change is disappearing. For Bea and Grace, their chances of escape are slimming quickly. But it's not just them who are in trouble... So maybe you are trapped in a room,...

Things are shifting, the ground is soft underfoot. You can't trust where you're stepping, and collapse is imminent. But what does it mean to collapse? To fall, to crumple to the ground? To relax against someone, exhausted and needing that weight against you as comfort? To lose something intangible, something you didn't know was so integral to your very ability to stand on your own? To pull away th...

Grace has made a deal that she and Bea can't back out of: A return to Emiel under Lennox's endlessly watching eye. Everything is getting too close, everything is starting to strain, and Grace is now returning to the world she thought she had escaped from. Bea is experiencing some real flighty coworkers. And Rhys? Well, he's out there listening to the siren call of the night, the sound of smooth ja...

... To die, to sleep, To sleep, perchance to Dream; aye, there's the rub, For in that sleep of death, what dreams may come, What dreams will come, what dreams will I be found within, What dreams may become real, for the dreams... wait, What dream is this? What dream do I find myself within? To sleep, perchance to wake, perchance to dream, to dream, to dream To dream and to dream again, only to wak...

The only way to keep a secret is to tell no one. The second you tell another person, it's out and it has a life of its own. Grace's secret is carried in Bea, but the shadow it casts is spreading. Lennox knows this and he'll use it to his advantage, she knows that. But he's not the only one who knows, and the shadow grows longer and longer and touches more and more. Oh, and just a reminder that the...

"Walk a mile in someone else's shoes and you'll understand them better," that's an approximation of the saying, right? Well, what about their socks? And their pants? And their shirt? And their skin? The feeling of their muscles and bones moving in concert, a feeling you understand but is still completely and utterly foreign to you, because they are not yours. What then? Bea and Lennox experience a...

There's something in the distance, just out of sight. There's something whispering to you in the darkness, but you can't make the words out. There's something coming, but you can't seem to make out what it is. The storm is growing and growing and growing, thunder in the distance, a lightning flash on the edge of your vision. You feel something stirring. What do you do next? CONTENT WARNING: N/A Fe...

When you look in the mirror, do you like what you see? Do you know who's looking back? A client comes looking for help with a presence in their life that's causing problem after problem. Another client is looking for closure on a chapter of their life that they want to be done. But closure isn't easy, or wanted, or guaranteed. Sometimes you're left picking up the pieces of the mirror, unsure of yo...

A client shows up looking to reunite with their other half (in a more literal sense than you'd expect). Grace takes Bea out on the town (how fun!). Rhys makes a lot of puns (to be expected). Hollis... wait, what is Hollis doing? ... hmm. CONTENT WARNING: sex (implied) Featuring the voices of: Emily Kellogg as Grace Alex Nursall as Bea Ian Boddy as Rhys Rob Deobald as Lennox J Strautman as Hollis N...

It's a new day (night, really) and Bea, Grace, and Rhys have a whole new world to face. Bea's coming to terms with an ability she didn't expect or want. Grace has to deal with the full-throated return of the one person she's been trying to keep as far away as possible. Rhys... actually, I'm not sure what Rhys is doing. I'm sure it's fun though. And somewhere, Lennox is waiting. He's waited for so...

Hello, and welcome. Here at Emiel, we like to think of ourselves as a community. A family, even. One not tied through blood - although that is a part of it, in a sense - but through a shared commitment. You help each other. You support each other. You stand by each other. That is how things work here. At the very least, it is the environment we hope to foster. Through hard work, the tireless effor...

Hello listeners, it's Alex. I've got one more thing for you to check out before spooky season. If you're looking for Woodbine, don't worry, we'll be back soon with Season 2 in the fall, but for now, if you're looking for something to listen to, you might want to check out StanLand, a new show on the Sonar network. When cynical podcaster Melanie Hughes vanishes without a trace, the only clue is her...

Hello again. We're just popping in to tell you about another podcast you might want to check out if you're a fan of Woodbine or Parkdale Haunt (and are looking for something to listen to while waiting for Season 2). Desert Skies is a quirky and heartfelt fiction podcast about life between this world and the next, set in the afterlife. The story takes place along the road of a lonely highway at a g...

What flashes before your eyes as you die? Memories, thoughts big and small that nested somewhere in your brain, echoes you ignored. But in those final flashes, the silliest things can be brought to the forefront: Unimportant conversations, odd moments, even cases you never put that much importance in. Now, that last one only really applies if you work in a detective agency, to be fair. Sometimes s...

Surprise! Here's Part 2. What, you thought we were going to wait? Hah! It's a Christmas miracle where we decided to drop both episodes within an hour of each other. Here's the rest of our discussion (featuring Emily, Alex, Ian, Rob and J) where we tried to answer as many questions as we could (we're sorry if we didn't get to yours). Thanks for listening, and we'll see you soon for our next holiday...

Well hello there. Welcome to the Woodbine S1 Q&A: Part 1, where we answer about half of your questions. In this episode, you can hear thoughts on the show (and much more) from our own Alex Nursall, Emily Kellogg, and Ian Boddy, along with special guests Rob Deobald and J Strautman. Stay tuned for much more in Part 2, coming soon... Woodbine is an original podcast created, written, and produced by...

You can only run for so long. At some point, you have to face your problems head on. Usually, you'd do this in therapy, but Grace is tired of platitudes and obfuscations and questions. She wants answers and there's only one person who can give them to her. But that means no more running, no more avoiding, no more looking away. You have to face your problems head on, no matter what happens, no matt...

Sometimes you have to turn to an old friend for some help. The life experience that comes with age can give a lot of insight into all kinds of situations. And when that person is ageless? Well, then you can expect some truly sage advice. For Grace and Bea, Lennox's shadow grows ever longer, Hollis continues to insert themselves wherever they want, and the night stretches out beyond them endlessly....

The past will always find its way back to you, whether it is the distant or the recent. It comes back with claws, ready to pull you into its embrace. You can't escape the violence that made you. It will always find a way to hook itself into your skin, burrow under, and then wait until you think you're safe. The past Grace has been running from is catching up. The past Bea is searching for is comin...

Oh boy, it's time for a super fun bar crawl with the team! Obviously this is some sort of delightful work outing, right? In any other capacity, it probably would be. But for Grace, Bea, and Rhys, the party is overshadowed by the case at hand. Hard to get too enthused when you've got a malicious being on your tail, really puts a damper on the evening. Don't stop, don't lose your nerve, and don't ev...

Something is weird in a hotel in Toronto and the team has to figure it out. Something is weird in a hotel in Toronto and the team has to figure it out. Wait, didn't I say that? Anyway, something is weird in a hotel in Toronto and the team has to figure it out. And something is weird in a hotel in Toronto and the team has to figure it out.

There's getting under someone's skin and then there's taking it. Grace and Bea are tasked with finding the missing skin of a client who just wants to be whole again... in more ways than one. Turns out the issues run a lot deeper than a simple lost layer and are complicated in ways neither of them expected. Hope you came prepared to yearn, because everyone else here is. Minus Rhys, I guess. He's ju...
