Synopsis

"Hello, I'm the Doctor. And, if you can hear this, then one of us is going to die."

At the bottom of the sea, in the wreck of a floating radio station, a lost recording has been discovered. After careful restoration, it is played for the first time - to reveal something incredible. It is the voice of the Doctor, broadcasting from Radio Bravo in 1966. He has travelled to Earth in search of the Hush - a terrible weapon that kills, silences and devours anything that makes noise - and has tracked it to a boat crewed by a team of pirate DJs. With the help of feisty Liverpudlian Layla and some groovy pop music, he must trap the Hush and destroy it - before it can escape and destroy the world...

Out of all the BBC Audiobook stories from 2008-2017, Dead Media is probably the most Big Finish level story, not only an hour long but is presented as David Tennant narrating the story in character as a message warning the listeners of the dangers that lie in the recording. It was a shock hearing the sound quality at first, something about Tennant's voice sounded a bit off and I've not listened to the other audiobooks to determine if that's by the story's intentional design or if that's just the standard quality of the series. Regardless, Dead Air is a fun and atmospheric tale of the Doctor hunting (or perhaps being hunted) a creature composed of sound on a radio station in the middle of the sea. It throws in some chilling twists that help make the villain so unsettling and helps add to the listening experience of what the Doctor is warning us about. It's a excellent final Tenth Doctor audiobook and final performance from David Tennant before finally bowing out to Matt Smith
