When word got out that on April 8 a large meteorite fell from the sky and landed somewhere in far eastern Maine, Fred Greenhalgh and his collaborators on Maine horror podcast “Undertow” immediately started imagining fantastic scenarios for it. For the past 17 years Greenhalgh has created audio dramas and podcasts. Each season of “Undertow” has told a different Maine horror story, including “Blood Forest,” about a stretch of Maine woods full of monsters. In “The Pulse,” Greenhalgh and company tell a story about people descending on a tiny Maine town, in search of a fallen meteorite, in order to claim a cash prize offered for it. It’s the fifth season of “Undertow” and premieres Aug. 25 on Realm.fm, the largest scripted podcast network in the country.
