The voice on the other end

Meet Otis Jiry.

A familiar voice.
An entirely new frequency.

Pull up a chair. It’s getting late.

A familiar voice in the dark. Otis Jiry brings short horror fiction to life with patient suspense, rich character, and a voice that stays with you after the story ends. Midnight Transmission is his new independent home: unsettling stories, told his way.

There’s an intimacy to a story told well: a voice in your headphones, a room that suddenly feels a little too quiet. That’s the feeling we’re here for.

The story comes first.

We bring together submitted fiction and selected stories developed with AI assistance. Our team reviews the writing before it reaches the microphone. New stories carry writing credits or an AI assistance note. Otis provides the narration.

Have something unsettling of your own? We welcome original horror fiction from writers who want to hear their work brought to life.

An independent beginning.

We’re starting with free episodes, made possible by the people who listen, share, and choose to support the show. Every bit helps us make the next transmission worth waiting for.
