About Mono Noir

A radio drama series for people who like their mysteries dark, atmospheric and well told.

The show

Each episode is a self-contained story of about half an hour: a case, a handful of suspects, a rainy street or two, and an answer that has to be earned. The stories are performed by a full cast of AI voices with music and sound design, in the spirit of old-time radio, and you can watch them on YouTube or play them in any podcast app.

The series so far: Special Matters, Sherlock Holmes — The New Cases, Holmes NYC, Holmes LA, Vienna Files, Moscow Rules, Velvet Shadows and Istanbul Confidential. Each episode has its own page with the chapters and the full transcript.

Who makes it

Mono Noir is created by MaTeZZ. The writing, voices, music, sound effects and artwork are made with AI tools, and human listening, editing and revision shape every episode. What is generated, what is not and how the stories are inspired by real cases is explained on the how it is made page.

Where to listen and watch

The same episodes are published as videos on YouTube and as audio in the podcast feed.
