The Penumbra Podcast

At the Penumbra, you might follow Juno Steel, a brooding, sharp-witted private eye on Mars, as he tangles with an elusive homme fatale, tracks dangerous artifacts of an ancient alien civilization, and faces his three greatest fears: heights, blood, and relationships. 

Or you might enter the world of the Second Citadel, where the merciless Sir Caroline must corral a team of emotionally distraught all-male knights to defend their city against mind-manipulating monsters...even the ones they?ve fallen in love with. 

Or you might tune into the not-too-distant future of Thirst, a future America somehow even worse than the present, where four couples must survive a dangerous reality TV competition designed by a sadistic host and a cheerfully violent Algorithm.

These audio dramas and more await you in the Penumbra, dear traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Start with "1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask" to follow the Juno Steel series, "1.09: Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast" to follow the Second Citadel series, or "THIRST S1E1: Icebreaker" to listen to the Thirst series. Or, listen from oldest to newest to hear everything as we released it.)

[REDACTED] S1E1: False Start (Part 1)

?--------------


Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters)


Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother?s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected.


Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.

Upcoming events: Drag Bingo, Storytime with Kevin, and THIRST!

Hello, travelers! Harley Takagi Kaner here with an update about some upcoming events we?re hosting over on The Penumbra Podcast: Special Edition.

We?ve got our first ever Drag Bingo event at 5 PM Eastern on February 16th for our supporters at the The Penumbra Podcast: Special Edition! We?ve been looking for ways to bring our community together during this hiatus, and we can?t wait to hang out with everyone on our new platform. We will be playing a virtual game of bingo, which, naturally, is the gayest of sports. Kevin and I will be there to hang out with all of you as you compete for Penumbra prizes, and the game will be hosted by the fabulous drag queen Ivanna. If you?d like to join us for Drag Bingo on February 16th, you can sign up at thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com.

If you can?t make it to Drag Bingo, our next new event will be Storytime with Kevin at 3 PM Eastern on March 8th. Kevin will be digging up some OLD short stories from his archives and reading them aloud to us, and I will be his in-person audience because even I?ve never read these ones before. I hope we?ll see you on March 8th for storytime, and again, you can find both of these events at thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com. That link will take you to The Penumbra Podcast: Special Edition, which is also where we?re releasing installments of our Juno Steel audiobook, If Memory Serves, as well as where all our bonus content will live going forward.

If you don't want to hang out with us and are just waiting for more audio drama, I can tell you that our next show, THIRST, is fully cast, currently in production, and set for release this summer. We are so excited to share it with you then!

I hope you?ll consider joining us at The Penumbra Podcast: Special Edition. Again, that?s thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com. It?s where you can access all of our bonus content including these new live events, and it?s also how we keep the show itself running. Thanks for listening!

Announcements! Part 1 of "If Memory Serves" is finished, and help us make our next show, Thirst!

Hi all!

Part 1 of If Memory Serves is finished over on The Penumbra: Special Edition, so what are you waiting around here for? Just head over to thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com and take in Juno's first case EVER as a PI!

Notes from this announcement:

1) Part 1 is over! It's a complete case and a perfect time to catch up on If Memory Serves.

2) To celebrate the end of Part 1, Harley and Kevin are going to have their first Livestream hangout on Saturday, 11/9 at 4 PM EST for Behind-the-Scenes subscribers to the Special Edition. We have an AMA system set up over there for you to log questions for us ahead of time, too!

3) All of the Patreon bonuses that are making it over to the Special Edition are now there, with fancy new organization and formatting to make things easier on you, so there's nothing tying you to Patreon anymore.

4) We'll be charging monthly on Patreon starting in December to recoup some costs, because we still don't have quite enough to start Thirst... or make rent, to be honest. If our stories have meant something to you, please, please make the jump over to the Special Edition as soon as you can. Thank you!

First full episode of IF MEMORY SERVES now available on our new platform!

When Kevin and Harley decided to go full-time as podcasters and artists, they knew it was a big risk. Independent media by queer creators doesn't generally pull in the big bucks, but it?s important to them to make the most beautiful and heartfelt work possible and always pay the cast and crew a competitive rate. That?s why we are so grateful to you for considering signing up for The Penumbra Podcast: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can find at thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com. Depending on the monthly pledge you choose, you?ll gain access to early, ad-free episodes, behind-the-scenes bonus content like scripts and commentary tracks, livestreams with the creators, and more. Plus, starting on October 6, 2024, we will be releasing the audiobook, If Memory Serves: A Juno Steel Mystery, to this new platform ahead of its eventual public release, as a special preview for subscribers.

If you are already a supporter over on Patreon, thank you! The new platform will be making the transition over as seamless as possible for you: just head to thepenumbrapodcast.supercast.com/patreons. All subsequent episodes of the audiobook, as well as the entire back catalog of bonus content, will be on the new platform. Make sure you cancel your Patreon subscription afterwards, as everything will be cleared out of Patreon in the next month.

If you choose to pledge any amount, please know that you?re not only supporting Harley, Kevin, and the crew, but you?re also helping to grow this community and provide access to those who may not be able to give. Thank you so much for your support. It means the world to us.

Series Q&A on Patreon Sept 8, plus what's next!

Hi travelers, Harley here. I wanted to make sure that you knew about our upcoming series Q&A happening on Patreon this Sunday, September 8th, at 3:00 PM Eastern, for all of our Patreon supporters. Kevin and I will be answering questions live from those who attend, so make sure to come prepared with everything you?re still dying to know! The Q&A will be co-hosted by Joshua Ilon, who voices Juno Steel, and Melissa DeJesus, who voices Quanyii and also edits our scripts, so we?ll have representatives from both of our main series there too if you want to hit them with a few actor questions. 

The Q&A will also be the very first time that we announce what?s coming next for you all as well as giving you a sneak preview, so if you want to be the first to know, make sure you attend at patreon.com/thepenumbrapodcast. It?s not too late to pledge to our Patreon at any level, and the livestream will be recorded in case you can?t make it. We can?t wait to see you there!

5.22: Juno Steel and the Thief's Honor (Part 1)

It's difficult to stay sane while you're in two simultaneous life-or-death situations, but Juno Steel is doing his best. With the Ruby 7 psychically splitting his attention between two places -- one where he is imprisoned and experimented on by Dokana executives; another where Nureyev must argue to save Juno's life -- things are looking pretty grim. And with each passing day, the executives draw closer to isolating what they need from Juno... which means that each day, they draw closer and closer to disposing of him entirely.

Sir Galahad the Great is a popular man in what remains of Silvershore.

But who ever would have guessed that it's the last of these three visitors he has to worry about?

5.18: Juno Steel and the Terrible Waste (Part 1)

Out in the furthest reaches of the Milky Way float piles of things best left forgotten: trash, refuse, the runoff and leftovers of a society that wants too much and produces too much. What better place, then, to put an impossible dream: that dead bodies, what we leave behind when we eventually exit life, might start to walk and talk and love again?

The Dokana group has chosen one of these trashteroids as their place to dream this dream. But be careful: it doesn't take much for a dream to become a nightmare.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.
