The Listener (John Whitlow)
Role: Season 2 Main Character
Age: Early 50s

Tone: Low, gravelly, weary but sharp
Character Qualities
Haunted, carries regret
Stubborn — keeps talking to survive
Protective toward Delilah’s recordings
Vulnerable but still steady when it counts
Voice Actor Notes
Gravelly, weary tone; should sound like a man who’s worked too hard and lost too much
Can move from muttered notes → raw, hoarse shouting
Silence must feel heavy, like he’s scared of it
Voice description:
- american (southern)
- male adult
- radio drama
The sides they read from:
Quiet confession: "I kept talkin’, even when no one was left to listen. Guess I thought if the words stayed, maybe I would too."
Anger at the Knot: "You want me? Take me then! Stop whisperin’ her name if you won’t say mine!"
Disoriented field note: "Recorder’s runnin’. So am I. Don’t know if either of us ought to be."
