About this listen
A chilling, immersive audio experience, The Sound at the End follows the eclectic crew of an Arctic research base and the newcomer who may uncover the secrets they’re each desperate to outrun, written by award-winning novelist Kirsty Logan and performed by a full cast.
On a near-abandoned research base in an Arctic ice field, a skeleton crew works to ensure the centre doesn’t collapse amid treacherous storms. Officially, Trieste Grayling arrives in order to explore and film a sunken shipwreck for a documentary film; privately, she's working through a complicated grief. Trieste soon realises she's not the only one who was attracted to this intense isolation in order to escape her ghosts.
Each of the crew members harbour dark secrets: Mal, the ever-competent medic conducting mysterious therapy sessions, Sweetie, the reclusive engineer with scarred hands, Thorsteinn, the aloof diver tender, Avelina, the temperamental base manager whose stories of home don't quite add up, Grace, an underwater welder and recovering addict, and Judd, the erratic former member of a ‘90s boy band. As they begin to reach breaking point, each one's hidden ghosts finally comes into the light.

Rambling and tedious
I just found this to be really hard going. Not really engaging as it rambles a lot. I guess the performances were good but they were working with a poor production.

Strange is not the word!
Weird story but good performances, certainly makes you concentrate on the action! Still not sure about the conclusion though!

Interesting setting, meh ending
Liked a lot of the story; the setting, the characters and their relationships.
Unfortunately, I thought the ending was slightly disappointing.
Narration was good; I am usually not a fan of these 'radio drama' full cast things, but this one worked ok for me.

Good isolated community thriller
I'd been listening to Ice by James Follett, so I was very pleased to see a modern version of an isolated community in a frozen setting to listen to. I inadvertently added my own sound effects at times, from having a nature sounds app in the background and forgetting, so sometimes had extra soggy or chilly experiences.
I enjoyed experiencing the overall theme of exploring depths physically and psychologically - I liked the structure and pace. I enjoyed the balance of the distinctive voices - such high quality performances. I felt submerged in the story and kept feeling intrigued by what would happen next, which surprised me for such a long piece.

An intricate story
Brilliant writing and the performance was chilling.
This is a story I'll be thinking about for a long time to come.

Started great but story didn't evolve
This was really well performed and the story seemed promising at first. However, without giving spoilers, the story didn't develop fully and the ending was both predictable and unsatisfying.
