But Lexi is convinced Aster left clues for fans like her—and if she doesn’t follow the tracks, no one will. Radio Violence is a six-part fictional mystery where fandom is a matter of fatality. Each episode blends immersive audio drama with original songs containing clues. The deeper Lexi goes, the closer she gets to a truth that could silence her forever.
