After a betrayal at work costs Song Kuan her job, she retreats to her friend Lucy’s idyllic family cabin on a lake in Minnesota to lick her wounds. She devotes herself to recording Ice Cold Cases, a true-crime podcast that she and Lucy cohost with the gleeful energy of obsessed fans—until an anonymous tip about a missing-person case disrupts their equilibrium. Then Lucy disappears, leaving Song alone in an unfriendly and unfamiliar town where locals don’t take kindly to strangers asking questions.

Twisty, unpredictable, and sonically adventurous, Song of the Northwoods will keep you guessing until the final showdown.

Dear Listener,

What did I want to explore when I set out to create Song of the Northwoods?
"The Northwoods of Minnesota have always been evocative for me. There’s the rich resource of the land—used for hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, cross-country skiing, and for its valuable iron ore. The friendly iciness of "Minnesota nice." The loon. When I was invited to create this play for audio, I knew the setting of the Northwoods before I knew anything else. Song of the Northwoods is a play created for an audience of one listener at a time, and I wanted to immerse you each in the specificity of that place.
The second thing is this: I was in high school hanging out in the choir room after school with some of my closest friends and for some reason there weren’t enough chairs, so one of them told me to sit on the floor "because you’re Chinese." It was a joke and we all laughed. At the time, I thought we were laughing because the part of me that’s Chinese was so insignificant to them, so much a part of my distant background, that arbitrarily calling it up would be absurd—how funny! That’s how deeply I thought I had masked my difference. But since moving away from Minnesota, I’ve been turning that memory over in my mind, arranging it alongside so many others, trying to piece together a mystery of belonging. Who was I to them? And more importantly, who was I to me?" – Jessica Huang, writer of Song of the Northwoods

I'm not mad that I listened, but the story doesn't stand out as particularly good. The whole thing felt rushed, predictable, and meh.

Short but not sweet

I hope Ms Huang is still writing...we need more!!! I finished Song of the Northwoods on the edge of my seat wanting to know what happens next!

Need More

The story itself was not very memorable. Ok for s free short story. Couldn’t relate to any of the characters. Performance was ok

A bit weak

This isn’t my typical listen so it took a bit to settle in and get used to the style, but I found that I really enjoyed the performance. The voice actors did an excellent job and even without additional descriptions that are typically present in fiction writing, I was able to imagine the setting.

I liked the included background noises, and the loons made me think of our own summers spent in the north woods! Most everything was tied up at the end, so that was nice.

Overall, I liked it!

Mysterious but believable!

I really enjoy these novellas, I can listen to 2 or 3 a day while I work. This one kept me on my toes from the beginning to the end

Very entertaining

Stumbled upon this one, liked the voices, decent story, intriguing and entertaining! I needed something to pass the time and this perfectly filled that void. I would listen to another story.

Entertaining!

The story was a decent one, it held my attention. More than that is the voices didn’t annoy me. Sometimes the narration is unbearable. And more than THAT I really like listening to the Dolby sound stories. That makes them better, I think.

Love the Dolby Sound Stories

The Northern Minnesota setting is perfect for this story. Enjoyed this play a lot. Great story and performances.

Loved the story and the atmosphere

loved it, especially as it brings back memories of the iron range in minnesota, the taconite mines and the after effect of the mines closing.

Northern Lights

Started really strong but towards the end it fizzled out. It felt as if the story couldn't decide what it wanted to be. Fortunately it is short enough that the downsides don't stop you from finishing it.

Strong performance in a not so strong story
