Ethan Hawke has reunited with Scott Derrickson and C. Robert Cargill, his collaborators on Sinister and the Black Phone films, for Midnight Radio, a new horror podcast published by iHeartPodcasts. The first episode came out Thursday, and Collider has an exclusive first listen.

Hawke stars as the host of a cult-favorite late-night AM radio show that takes calls from conspiracy theorists and people claiming supernatural encounters. One night a caller says he was part of a U.S. space mission lost to history.

The story unfolds in real time as the host is pulled into "a sprawling web of government cover-ups, interdimensional breaches and psychological warfare," with strange signals emerging from the static. Derrickson and Cargill co-created the series.
