Our Editor's Take

Spoiler alert-Someone Dies In This Elevator. In this fictional podcast, every episode involves a different story. There is one recurring fact-someone dies in an elevator. Audiences know death is coming. But how does it happen? Who is the victim? Who commits the crime?

Each episode of Someone Dies In This Elevator is a novel story with the "same" ending. They feature new characters, fresh backstories, and unexpected motives and outcomes. Some episodes might make listeners cry. Others will excite them. There are romance-based plots and others rooted in fantasy. Each one has a rating so listeners know how gruesome it will get-kind of. Some include a warning "may include explosive terrorism" or "corporate greed."

Besides the elevator, crime scenes include a vault of a bank on the 37th floor, three superheroes, and a comedy club inside an elevator. Cocreator and producer/writer of the podcast is Tal Minear. They are also involved in other podcast productions like Sidequesting and What Will Be Here?

Actors voice each of the characters here, and a narrator sometimes joins. As each character enters the scene, listeners will wonder, are they a victim, a murderer, or a bystander? Ongoing sound effects provide added context to the story.

This show is for those who enjoy a little mystery. There is excellent script writing, acting, and production in each show. With a wide range of genres and endings, there's something to pique everyone's interest. Even though the ending is always the same, the plot is always different. There's only one way to discover the how, why, and who is behind it all.

Each month, two new episodes of Someone Dies In This Elevator debut.
