A look into the heart of Merlin Season Four with two of the series’ most iconic performers.

In this episode, we dive deep into the icy, post-apocalyptic world of Impact Winter, Audible’s hit audio drama created by writer and world‑builder Travis Beacham. You may know Travis from his story treatment that became Pacific Rim and his work as writer and co‑creator of Carnival Row. Now he’s turned his imagination toward a world plunged into darkness after a catastrophic impact event—one where vampires rise and humanity fights to survive.

We explore how Impact Winter blends horror, survival, and character‑driven storytelling, and how the audio format lets Travis build tension and atmosphere in ways screen media can’t.

About Impact Winter
Set seven years after a meteor strike blots out the sun, Earth has become a frozen wasteland where vampires thrive in the endless dark. At the center of the story is Darcy, a fierce and determined vampire hunter navigating this new world of shadows. As she protects her small band of survivors, Darcy must confront not only the monsters outside but the shifting loyalties and secrets within her own group.
