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.)

2.22: Juno Steel and the Monster's Reflection (Part 2) Jun 05, 2018

Show notes

"You did it in one day. One choice. When you let him in, when you let the hero rob us blind without taking a thing."

That's how Sarah Steel justified the murder of Benzaiten Steel, twenty-one years ago. But the day she was referring to was even older: fifteen years before that. A motive a long, long time in the making.

But what does that mean? How could one four-year-old child ruin three lives?

Juno remembers. But what he remembers... can't be right. It can't be.

It can't be.

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

2.21: Juno Steel and the Monster's Reflection (Part 1) May 22, 2018

Show notes

Today we journey within. Within the sands of Mars, to the clinic of Hanataba; within the Theia Spectrum and its labyrinthine connections; within the mind; within the past itself.

Try to throw away the past if you like, Juno Steel, but it lies within. And you can't lose your past without losing yourself... can you, little monster?

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

2.20: Second Citadel -- The Moonlit Hermit (Part 2) May 08, 2018

Show notes

Subject: the Keep of Titan's Blooms. Symptoms: spreading petrification; irritability; musical inclinations. Suggested treatment: cooperation with its master, Lord Arum, a creature who would scoff at the idea of tracking symptoms in the first place, a lizard whose scaly mind is ever-absorbed in suspicion, self-preservation, and ego.

Side effects may include: sleep loss; injury; frustration; entombment; and then...

Keep it together, Rilla. This is a medical record, not your diary.

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

2.19: Second Citadel -- The Moonlit Hermit (Part 1) Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

Deep in the Swamp of Titan's Blooms stands a towering plant with no equal in the Second Citadel. It is in parts tree, fern, beanstalk, and a single gigantic flower -- and it is the Keep from which Lord Arum watches over his Swamp.

No human has ever seen the labyrinthine interior of this Keep until today. When Rilla awakens in the Keep she will come face-to-face with things she'd never dreamed she'd see, magical artifacts and creatures and mysteries that tie deep into the workings of the very universe... but unless she can find a way to escape, she may be the only human to ever learn of them.

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

2.18: Juno Steel and the Time Gone By (Part 2) Apr 10, 2018

Show notes

People bury a great deal beneath these Martian sands: bodies and secrets and even entire cities. But some things refuse to stay buried long – like the past. Those we thought lost, hoped lost, but never gone for good.

Buddy Aurinko is learning that lesson the hard way. Her buried past has a face and a name, and though all Buddy wants is to forget, her past does not seem content to be forgotten.

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

2.17: Juno Steel and the Time Gone By (Part 1) Mar 27, 2018

Show notes

I do suggest you reconsider this particular destination, Traveler. Most places on Mars are dangerous, but the desert holds threats no human can survive. Radiation beats down from above, subterranean predators rumble below, and before you lies nothing but sand and heat and time.

And behind you… do you see that growing shadow in the distance, Traveler? It is always there. And depending on how you play your cards it may be your only way out… or the most dire threat of all.

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

The Rita Minute 3: Happy Birthday, Mista Steel! Dec 24, 2017

Show notes

It's December 24th, and you know what that means: it's Mista Steel's birthday, and it's up to Rita to make it the best birthday ever in a star-studded special that includes both of Juno's friends and some people who are lukewarm about him. Can Rita put together the ultimate birthday party in thirty minutes? Maybe! Is Juno's birthday really on the 24th? This episode is not canon and the Martian calendar is famously inconsistent, so I don't know, what do you think!

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

Season 2.1 Q&A: Fan Questions Answered! Dec 06, 2017

Show notes

Sophie and Kevin are assembled by special guest star and elected guru of our Tumblr fandom to answer questions about how these stories are written, their perspective on diverse perspectives within the show, whether Sophie is a visionary, whether you're allowed to cry at your own show, how this show has made them better people, queerness, mental illness, and whether Sophie is allowed to call herself a visionary. Sneaky announcements of future projects revealed! Kevin says "SOPHIE" in a very frustrated voice several times! Ernmark demonstrates that she's smarter than Sophie and Kevin by, like, probably a whole lot!

2.16: Juno Steel and the Promised Land (Part 3) Nov 14, 2017

Show notes

If you had asked Erin Marshall D’Arc, the Free Dome was supposed to be for everyone. Anyone who wanted a home away from the War, she said, could have it.

If you had asked Marshall Erin D’Arc, the Free Dome was only for the best of the best. Only those who could create paradise, he said, could have it.

If you ask Mayor Pilot Pereyra, the Free Dome belongs to the highest bidder. Whoever finds it, they say, owns it – and they can do with it as they please.

And if you ask Juno Steel, Private Eye, drained of blood and confidence? You can keep your lousy Dome. Because something about this place doesn’t sit right with Detective Steel… and he’s rapidly running out of time to figure out what it is before Pilot decides they’re done with him.

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