Written by Jason Hardcastle for Heorot Media, CERBERUS REX introduces listeners to Dr. Anabela Correia (voiced by Natali De Asis), an astrophysics professor at fictional Hawksmoor University. She is enlisted by the government to help investigate a physics-defying phenomenon located at a mysterious site.



Accompanied by security officer Benjamin Wyngarde (voiced by Michael Joseph Murray), Dr. Correia explores the phenomenon - until something breaks free.



CERBERUS REX hearkens back to the early decades of the twentieth century, when radio dramas were the most popular form of mass entertainment.



Like its predecessors, this hour-and-a-half long audio adventure features a gripping narrative brought to life by a cast of committed voice actors, lush musical score, and elaborate sound effects.



Dr. Correia is a protagonist cut from the same cloth as Lara Croft and Indiana Jones: she is a demanding - but fair - educator, passionate about science, and is not shy about jumping right into the thick of things. Plus, she has an endearing habit of making geeky pop culture references at the most inopportune times.



In fact, sharp listeners will pick up references to iconic books, films, and television series littered throughout the story.



My hope is audio dramas like CERBERUS REX will enjoy a renaissance similar to what is happening with albums on vinyl.



Listening to rich audio productions of stories causes us to engage our imaginations in a way visual media can't match.



In our modern always-on-binge-watching-cgi-overloaded world, I think it is beneficial for us to disconnect once in a while, sit back with a favorite beverage, close our eyes, and allow rich audio dramas to transport us away from our daily grinds and into worlds of the fantastic.



For we sci-fi fans, projects like CERBERUS REX are a great place to start.
