The sound of one claw slashing (SNIKT!)

Marvel’s “Wolverine: The Long Night”

Now that it’s conquered the cineplex and Netflix, Marvel is going after your earbuds — with its first scripted podcast, “Wolverine: The Long Night.”

It tells the story of Special Agents Pierce and Marshall, who arrive in a small Alaskan fishing town to investigate a series of mysterious murders and a suspicious loner living in the woods.

Producers Brendan Baker and Chloe Prasinos reveal the high-tech and low-tech ways they made this sound-rich audio drama.
