The Very Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen is the latest audio drama written and directed by Alex Kemp.

Raul's life in Hong Kong is thrown into chaos when he discovers he can write letters to his favorite author, Sara Cloutier - an author who's been dead for thirty years.

Guided by mysterious forces, they set out to meet in "the middle," in a profound and life-changing attempt to find love and meaning in a broken world.

This show won Best Audio Fiction at The Tribeca Festival 2023 and is nominated for 5 AMBIES including Podcast of the Year at the 2024 Ambie Awards.

Charlie and Amber suffer from a rare condition that causes them to hallucinate wildly, but when their psychiatrist goes missing, they team up with the other patients to find him. As the mystery unfolds, they uncover secret societies, an unknown borough of New York hidden under the East River, and half-human half-spider centaur things.

But how do you find the truth when you can’t tell what’s real?

The result is poem that is not the original, nor is it a translation- its removal from the human hand and ego is like the chimney still standing of a house that’s been burned to the ground. Its the essence of the thing, seen in a new light, with a new kind of poetry to it.
