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.

A very dramatic thief has struck this production of Freedom in Chains with a very peculiar called shot: a calling card claiming that the Prismacrystal Chimes will be stolen at the climax of the play. Can Juno stop the thief before the Chimes vanish... and more importantly, is the dramatic thief in question the man he's been looking for?

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

Echidnacht is the holiest day for monsterkind, the day when monsters ply each other with spooks and sweets and a monster's favorite pastime of all: competition. It is also a day for tales of terror, like Caroline is telling the head of WEP security on this particular Echidnacht evening -- a tale of three great monsters of Silvershore and the only creatures fearsome enough to defeat them.

Happy Halloween, dear Travelers. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Deep in the waters of Silvershore lies the City Beneath, home to the city's water-breathing denizens... and an ancient and mysterious monster named Enoch.

Enoch, it is said, was present when Silvershore was first built, and so knows every secret the city holds. Sir Tristan the Cold is in search of one secret in particular -- and neither Enoch nor the city they built will survive if Tristan gets his hands on it.

Doctor Palomine Aurinko made a career out of changing people. A behaviorist, in his mind, should be a sculptor of the soul: a set of firm hands to grasp and pinch and mold a person into anyone -- or anything -- he desired.

Palomine is long dead now, but his ideas live on without him. The sculptor's hands continue to mold... and Juno Steel is about to find out what happens when those hands start changing someone very close to him.

Silvershore's clock tower breaks out from the skyline of beehive apartments and exploding tree-monsters, a constant declaration to the most fundamental truth of Silvershore itself: advertising.

Because the clock tower isn't just a historically important building; it is also the headquarters of Wayward East Press, the largest entertainment business in an entertainment city. The offices are near-impossible to break into... unless you happen to know a lot of secret information about how the WEP runs their business.

Enter the mysterious Lam, a book thief who seems to know a lot of secret information about a lot of secret things. His bag of tricks opens the door for he and Olala to enter these offices and rob them blind... but does he know enough to get them back out again?

If you love the Penumbra, check out a new podcast from our friends at the Fable & Folly network. Broken Road follows a veteran struggling with obsolete military implants who teams up with a defiant farmer and her daughter against a corrupt lawman. It?s a story of ingenuity in the face of corporate greed, exploring what it means to be human, the need for personal connection, and the strength of community in the face of insurmountable forces.

Broken Road, Episode 1: Some Chips You Don?t Cash In 

Summary: Emmett, a veteran with failing military-issued ?enhancements,? finds himself stranded in an inhospitable town.

Hidden in the Wayward East lies a city lost to time: Silvershore. With silver sands twinkling in the spring sunlight, cool waves of the Wayward sea lapping at its docks, and violet crystal monoliths jutting from the surrounding desert sands, Silvershore is a place of beauty... and of mystery.

Every city has its secrets. A secret city has even more. And though Olala wants to learn the secrets of Silvershore, though she wants to make this strange city her home... she may soon find that what happens in secret shadow is more than she bargained for.

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

What is the recipe for a prison break? Take one family, tear them apart, tenderize their minds, marinate them in fear and paranoia... then leave them to sit, confident that they aren't going anywhere.

And that confidence is key. Because the moment you think you have the Aurinkos beaten, the moment you're certain they've given up on themselves and each other? That's when they show you you're wrong.

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

Aurinko Permanent Corrections is not like other prisons. At Aurinko Permanent Corrections, they believe in rehabilitation. They believe that all of us have the ability to be better, do better, and it is with this certainty that the warden might look you in the eyes and ask:

"So why aren't you doing better? And what do I have to do to you to make you start?"

There is very little that the regions of the Universe can agree upon. The Northern Wilds has their monster-hunting furor, the Western Wastes are known for their scholars and scientists, and in the Southern Frosts survival against the elements dominates daily life. But in all three regions of the Universe, children are taught the same lesson: do not enter the Wayward East, for that way lies madness.

But every region has its rebels. So here they stand, at the Eastern gates -- two Northerners, two Westerners, and a Southerner -- prepared to venture into madness themselves.

The truth is worth a little madness, after all. Unfortunately, it won't be a little madness meeting them out there in the Mirrored Plains; it will be quite a lot.

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

Juno Steel would really like to take the past, lock it up in a little box, and throw away the key, thank you very much. It's hard to blame him: with his childhood friend hunting him down and his recent love gone without a trace, the past is really feeling like the place where all of today's problems were born.

But Juno is a detective, and even if he's decided he's done with Sasha Wire and putting Peter Nureyev on pause, curiosity will always bring him back. Now, between the journal in his pocket and Sasha's strange secret base all around him, Juno will find that the past never stays locked up for long.

#PenumbraParty

To keep the show running, we need your help!

In lieu of our yearly Patreon funds drive, we're excited to launch an initiative so all our fans can support us in making The Penumbra Podcast possible -- even if you can't spend money on Patreon or merch right now. By promoting the show, you?ll also unlock awesome prizes for all Penumbra fans. 

We're challenging fans to spread the word about our show on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook or Instagram in one of three ways: 

1. Leave us a review on iTunes. Make sure to take a screenshot of the review before you submit it (iTunes likes to eat reviews sometimes, but we won?t hold that against you!) and post that screenshot to your social media using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast.

2. Make a social media post using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast about why you love the podcast, your favorite characters or your favorite episode. If we see something super creative, you might get a shout-out in the credits of an upcoming episode!

3. Host a listening party (in person or virtually) with at least one person who has never heard the show before. Post a picture/screenshot of the party (a text thread or Discord counts!) to your social media using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast.

It?s helpful if you tag us on social media, too?and yes, you can make multiple entries!

Post before 11:59 PM EST on February 10 to unlock awesome bonus content and prizes. The more tasks you do, the better chance you?ll have at winning THE GRAND PRIZE. 

What can you win?

At 200 entries, EVERYONE gets access to all blooper tracks that we?ve released on Patreon.

At 500 entries, EVERYONE gets the Season 2 Live Q&A video.

At 1,000 entries, EVERYONE gets a full Juno Steel Mystery in found texts (aka The Case Files of Juno Steel).

These prizes will all become available at patreon.com/thepenumbrapodcast, but you will NOT need to be a Patreon supporter to view them. 

THE GRAND PRIZE: One lucky participant will be selected to receive FREE early access to episodes for the rest of Season 4!

We can?t wait to see you at #PenumbraParty. Thank you so much to everyone who supports the show!

Note: We know that even though we said ?this is not a guilt trip,? some of you are probably going to feel like you need to rush to the Patreon. We really appreciate your kindness, but unless you genuinely think you have the funds to continue supporting us for the foreseeable future, we ask that you not do that; though we understand this is very well-intentioned, it actually hurts us when people pledge to the Patreon and then drop their pledges soon after. The Patreon is our only way to plan ahead for our expenses and income, and if it?s artificially inflated we could end up in the hole. If you?d like to donate just once, we ask that you please use https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepenumbrapodcast

In which Damien the Pious learns a very important lesson: never meet your heroes.

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