Hey y'all, it's Jeffrey Craner and we have a brand new audio drama coming your way this month. My Nightville co-writers Joseph Fink and Brie Williams and I wrote a romance called This Will Ruin the Tour.

0:17

It's set in a single day in New Orleans about a 40-something pop star on her comeback tour and the young journalist looking for his big break. We're really proud of this story and also even more proud of it once we heard the music that Disparition composed for it?

0:31

Anyways, it's stunning. This will ruin the tour comes out October 26, 2026 and is available wherever you get your audiobooks. And please, pre-order if you can because that really helps creators when you do that.

That was the opening. The rest of the episode (28 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
