Feed Drop: Dominus, a Catholic Horror Audio Drama crowdfunding 'til April 5

March 28, 2026·53 min·5 clips

Armed staff members confront the priests, demanding they exorcise a demon from the house or face violence.

Confession comes first. The feed drop opens inside religious ritual, where admissions about desire, anger, pride, and secrecy come out slowly, with the weight of people trying to say what frightens them about themselves. Nobody gets to sound innocent. One person worries over wanting a professor. Another keeps circling the rage he feels toward a neighbor and what that anger may be doing at home. The shame keeps moving. What starts as confession becomes a pattern of people asking for permission, judgment, guidance, or absolution before the supernatural has fully shown its face. Then duty cuts in. Father Olu needs to look after his flock, though he does not treat that care as simple or clean. A journey takes shape. Father Friedrich and Father Olu head into the woods, away from the city, toward land tied to a family estate in Ontario. The invitation shifts when a guest asks to come along, not just from curiosity, but because of a lifelong intuition that has helped keep them alive. Faith and instinct sit side by side. The conversation handles superstition with care, letting belief, caution, and personal history rub against each other without tying everything up neatly. Then the weather turns. Clear skies go dark by four, and even the forecast starts to feel like a warning. The house waits beyond the trees. By the end, the danger has narrowed into a grim plan: banish something back to Hell before anyone has to hurt poor Mip to keep it contained. The fear stays practical. People make plans, test trust, explain themselves, and try to be useful while the impossible gets closer. The frame returns home when Aira, creator of Spirit Box Radio, points listeners toward support pages and related shows, marking the excerpt as a feed drop inside Spirit Box Radio's own circle of work.

It moves with a slow, confessional charge, folding desire and private guilt into a story that shifts from secrecy to an Ontario estate. Weather, land, and belief press in as the people circle what they want and what they fear, and the unease comes as much from hesitation as from…
