< Back From Script to Sound: Segel Launches First Dramatic Audio Podcast Series with Rogue Media Network Matthew Heaton Dec 26, 2024 Alexandra Segel embarks on her first fiction podcast project with “Hellhound Country,” which also marks Rogue Media Network’s debut in this format. WACO, Texas, Dec. 16, 2024 — Alexandra Segel, partnered with Rogue Media Network, a rising company in the podcasting industry, launched her series “Hellhound Country” , an in-house production turned into an audio fiction podcast. Segel is embarking on her first fiction podcast project with “Hellhound Country,” which also marks Rogue Media Network’s debut in this format. Despite this being her first step into the audio side of media, the “Hellhound Country” scripts earned a top-ten ranking in the fiction podcast category at the 2023 Austin Film Festival, placing in the top 2% of over 11,000 entries. “The audio industry is so niche, and it’s such a challenge for screenwriters. We’re taught in school ‘show, don’t tell,’ and audio is the reverse of that,” Segel said. “It’s pretty amazing to see this come to life.” Segel emphasizes the significance of creating a women-dominated podcast, a rarity in the industry that holds personal importance for her. She strives to push creative boundaries and foster underrepresented demographics in media. “If a crowd were made up of 60% men and 40% women, it would look like a normal crowd. If it were reversed, someone would notice. We don’t see a woman-led cast often,” Segel said. The first season of Hellhound Country will consist of 10 episodes, each lasting 15 to 25 minutes. Listeners are encouraged to use major streaming platforms such as Spotify and Apple Podcasts.

< Back Press: Alexandra Segel featured in the Waco Tribune-Herald Carl Hoover, Waco Tribune Jan 2, 2025 Alexandra Segel’s “Hellhound Country” breaks new ground as Rogue Media Network's first serial narrative It's new territory as well for the 27-year-old Segel, an Austin screenwriter branching out into audio fiction. Her “Hellhound Country” made the top 2% of screenwriting scripts submitted to the 2023 Austin Film Festival and was one of its top 10 fiction podcasts. Her interest in writing for the ear, what she considers “the most intimate form of storytelling,” eventually connected her with Rogue Media’s Hamilton, who was equally interested in exploring fictional podcasts. A conversation led to a collaboration, and “Hellhound Country” will be realized as a 10-episode series, with two episodes already out and ready for listening, available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and other podcast platforms. The series’ storyline follows a mother and her 13-year-old daughter as they drive from Alaska to Washington state after finding a man dead in their kitchen and their husband/father missing. What they encounter on the way — well, let’s just say the story falls in the horror/supernatural genre. What makes “Hellhound Country” distinctive is the prevalence of female voices in the story, with most of the characters women. Segel finds writing audio fiction requires flipping the film school/journalism adage, “show, don’t tell,” with production, such as sound effects, an important part of the storytelling. “I’m unlearning some of the things I learned in film school,” she said. Nearly two dozen actors provided the voices for the series, recorded on weekends at Rogue Media Network’s ALICO Building headquarters. Read the complete article in the Waco-Tribune Herald here .
