  • Convinced Disbeliever - The Collected Troughton Stories

    Convinced Disbeliever - The Collected Troughton Stories
    Jul 26 2025
    Shadows at the Door is an anthology podcast -- but from time to time, we return to the story of Geoffrey Troughton: a stuffy academic whose brushes with the supernatural slowly shift him from convinced disbeliever… to an expert on the supernatural. Ahead of next week's release of TO THE FLAME --Troughton's biggest story yet-- and although To the Flame can be enjoyed on its own, we’re proud to present for a limited time, every Troughton episode so far. Follow his path through the ghastly, the ghoulish, and the quietly monstrous... and hear Shadows at the Door grow around him. And believe it or not, Troughton has even starred in a full, in-canon musical—brought on by an undead rap artist, played by Professor Elemental. Earworm has been a huge success, and we’d love for you to experience it too. Earworm, an audio drama musical, is available here.
