The Be Nation Podcast Presents: A Double Halloween Special

Two episodes. One Halloween. Two very different sides of darkness.

This October 30, The Be Nation Podcast invites you to celebrate Halloween with a special double release featuring two exclusive episodes created for the occasion.

Episode 1 — DEAD AIR

Enter the world of DEAD AIR, a cinematic audio drama built around mystery, suspense and the unsettling feeling that something is not quite right. As the atmosphere darkens and the unknown draws closer, one question remains: what happens when the silence is finally broken?

Episode 2 — THE DARK SIDE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY

Miguel, Liam and Luke Nation return for an extra Halloween episode dedicated to exploring the darker side of the music business.

Through research, discussion and debate, the team will examine the latest music industry developments, question the systems behind the music we consume, and explore the business realities, controversies and stories that deserve a closer look.

And that's not all. Surprise special guests will be joining the celebration, with more details revealed throughout the week leading up to the premiere.

Two special episodes. One date.

Mark your calendar for October 30 and get ready for a Halloween double feature from The Be Nation Podcast.

Both episodes will be available at thebenationpodcast.com.

This Halloween, discover what lies beyond the familiar — from the unsettling silence of DEAD AIR to the hidden complexities of THE DARK SIDE OF THE MUSIC INDUSTRY.

The darkness has two sides. Which one will you explore first?
