This was in Texas
SARATOGA LIGHTS is a noir-western podcast about crime and vengeance in rural Texas. Described alternatively as “a supernatural thriller with the soul of an old country ballad”, or “like an episode of Twin Peaks as directed by the Coen Brothers,” the show blends various genre elements with cinematic language to create a wholly unique and engrossing experience.
But it’s not just a podcast. SARATOGA LIGHTS is an entire shared universe of characters and stories told over various mediums: films, audio dramas, and books, to name a few; each one exploring its themes through a very unique lens: Texas.
Because what I know about is Texas…and down here, you’re on your own.
