(LOS ANGELES, September 1, 2021) – Stephen King’s literary works officially entered the podcasting sphere today when Strawberry Spring premiered its first two episodes via the iHeartRadio app and across all podcast streaming platforms. This Audio Up produced podcast series is a first for King, with Strawberry Spring being the inaugural podcast adaptation of his classic 1978 short story collection Night Shift.

Strawberry Spring follows a determined reporter who hears the name "Springheel Jack" while listening to the radio, rekindling memories of a time when he was a student at New Sharon College during the sixties revolution. At this moment, he is reminded of the first time he heard of the bloody serial killer. This dark mystery quickly unfolds to a hunt for a killer, as our hero will stop at nothing to track down the vicious murderer even if it threatens his own survival. “Springheel Jack” is back to taunt New Sharon with fresh kills, each murder more violent than the last.

This unrelenting, modern-day Jack the Ripper story, is produced by Jared Gutstadt and his critically acclaimed podcast studio and network, Audio Up Media; the No. 1 global podcast publisher, iHeartMedia; written, directed and produced by Emmy Award winning producer Lee Metzger; and also produced by Philip Alberstat. The riveting eight episode series stars actors Garrett Hedlund, Milo Ventimiglia, Herizen F. Gaurdiola, Sydney Sweeney, Ken Marino, Al Madrigal, and Brec Bassinger.

Stream Strawberry Spring’s first two episodes HERE. Additional episodes to be release every Wednesday.
