Sneak peek: "Juno Steel and the Things We Buried" live show

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. These audio dramas and more await you in the Penumbra, dear traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Start with &#34;1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask&#34; or &#34;1.09: Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast.&#34;) The Penumbra is created and produced by Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert.

The Second Citadel has stood, tall and proud, in the Northern Wilds for centuries. It is the bastion of humanity in the region, a settlement carved out from an unforgiving land. No matter what happens, you must remember this: there are people who call it home, people who love it, people who have never known anything but it. Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler.

5.21: Second Citadel--The Fall (Part 2)

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

5.19: Juno Steel and the Terrible Waste (Part 2)

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.
