Ong’s Hat is rumored to have once been the site of a gateway to another dimension. After meeting on a forum devoted to the urban legend, yoga instructor Sarah Larsen, and schoolteacher Charlie Brill, go on a road trip to the New Jersey Pine Barrens where a group of renegade Princeton professors had once conducted quantum physics and chaos theory experiments to discover a new theory for dimensional travel. When Sarah disappears, Charlie finds himself at the center of a mystery. Corey Brill (The Walking Dead) stars in this docu-thriller for Radio 4 and BBC Sounds from the makers of The Polybius Conspiracy and Passenger List.

Aaron Perrino is the frontman of The Sheila Divine, the Boston-based band that won awards, toured the globe with the likes of Morrisey and Weezer, and lit up college radio stations around the turn of the Century. Although successful in many ways, The Sheila Divine never reached the heights its frontman had hoped for, pushing Perrino to seek other, more stable pursuits as his personal world quickly changed during the summer of 2003; a moment that forced Perrino away from his rock star dreams, into a new career in branding and advertising.

Hrishikesh Hirway is best known as the creator and host of the popular podcast Song Exploder, a show that speaks to musicians about their unique process in bringing a song to life. What fewer may realize is that Hrishikesh is a musician himself, who has toured and released music under the name The One AM Radio since 1999, and composed music for film and television. But with the success of Song Exploder, instead of focusing on his craft, Hrishi was spending his days interviewing others about theirs, and he lost his way, creatively-speaking. But now Hrishi has overcome his self-doubt and is ready to invest in his own musical talent again.
