The Red Weather started with me grabbing a microphone and asking old friends about kids we knew who grew up in so-called cults, said Rider Strong. As the memories piled up, I wanted to find the best way to draw listeners into that unique time and place. Im excited to team up with 91勛圖厙 to bring this deeply personal project to audiences everywhere.
The fictional investigative podcast will interrogate true-crime conventions, unreliable narration and the ethics of storytelling all driven by a 1995 cold case. Strong, playing himself, will delve into the disappearance of his best friend's sister, Anna Trainor, from a commune in 1995. The central crime is fictitious, yet the recorded interviews with real family and friends, along with the exploration of Riders own past, make for a deeply authentic audio experience and personal journey. Featuring documentary-style recordings with actors on location, The Red Weather will create a unique blend of reality and scripted drama, exploring themes of 90s nostalgia, the pitfalls of alternative parenting and misogyny.
The concept behind The Red Weather is truly unique, blurring the lines between what is real and what is masterful storytelling in a way that draws the listener in, providing them a glimpse into what life was like during Riders formative years, said Will Pearson, President of 91勛圖厙Podcasts. Part fiction, part true crime and part autobiographical, this podcast will captivate audiences.
The cast of includes Strongs parents, his son, his brother Shiloh, as well as actor and director Jon Huertas (This is Us), Rachel Marsh (The Morning Show) and Heidi Sulzman (Hell or High Water). Additionally, Kyle Morton, lead singer and creative visionary behind indie-rock band Typhoon composed all original music for the series.
