Mercury's Wake podcast by Stephanie Vlahos is an audio drama based on a mystery novel. Before Chaos tells the story of seven strangers whose chance encounters tip their lives into unexpected directions. "The monster emerges out of the mire, spewing grim heartbreak in a voice fractured by whiskey and cigarettes. Tragedies are all the same except, maybe, how they came to be. But no one cares about that." Over a long weekend, strangers converge in Caesars Palace Las Vegas. Peculiar weather events, UFO sightings, paranormal experiences, and real-life tragedies (suggesting an even larger reckoning) transform ordinary people into extraordinary visionaries for they discover innate powers that touch the mind-bending unknowns in our universe while solving deeper mysteries about themselves.
