From the publisher

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.)The Penumbra is created and produced by Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert.

From The Penumbra Special Edition: Wet Hot American Doomsday, Episode 4 (with Joshua Ilon)

bonusE

Since we're on spring break from releasing Thirst episodes, please enjoy this episode of our companion podcast, "Wet Hot American Doomsday," normally reserved for Supercast and Patreon supporters only! We talked with Joshua Ilon (Dennis Cruz) about the events of Thirst episode 4, "Duck!", as well as reality TV, a subject near and dear to his heart. This is just a taste of what you'll find at The Penumbra: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can subscribe to on Supercast or Patreon. Please consider subscribing if you can--since times are tough for everyone, we've lost a lot of financial support and we're really teetering on the edge of being able to continue making the show. Indie art needs your help to survive! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
