rdf:langString The Lovecraft Investigations is a mystery thriller/horror fiction podcast written and directed by Julian Simpson, based on several works of H.P. Lovecraft. Produced by Sweet Talk Productions for BBC Radio 4, the podcast premiered on 2 January 2019, and ended on 29 November 2020 with the conclusion of its third season. The story is a modernization of the original Lovecraft works, set around the same time the podcast aired and presented as a podcast-within-a-podcast in which the two hosts of the Mystery Machine, a true crime podcast investigating cases related to the occult and conspiracy theories, stumble upon a case hiding a much larger mystery. It features a large voice cast led by Barnaby Kay and Jana Carpenter as the two podcasters, Matt Heawood and Kennedy Fisher. Each season of The Lovecraft Investigations is titled after, and mostly based on, one of Lovecraft's works, namely 1927's The Case of Charles Dexter Ward, 1930's The Whisperer in Darkness, and 1931's The Shadow over Innsmouth, while creating an overarching story; it is also set within Simpson's Pleasant Green Universe of audio dramas.
