HIGHLANDS RANCH, Colo. - ColoradoDesk -- Colorado author Michael Jonathan Hyde is bringing back the radio drama — his own. Four of Hyde's novels are now running as weekly full-cast radio series, free to hear on YouTube and Spotify, with a new chapter released every Tuesday through Friday.

The four series are:

Jonah and Merrick House — The Radio Drama (new episodes Tuesdays) adapts his upper middle-grade fantasy about Jonah Pryce, a thirteen-year-old who can hear other people's sadness as rain, and Merrick House, a home for children with impossible gifts. It is Book One of The Found Children; Book Two, The Voices in the Dark, was published November 6, 2026.
