This case was supposed to be simple. Go into the Old Subway system, figure out what Mayor Pereyra is trying to get, stop them from getting it, then go home to a parade and a new world order. But now three days have passed, and the election looms, and still Juno, Alessandra, the Piranha, and Pilot Pereyra are down here, waiting for something in the distance.

It seemed like it was going to be simple. But in this line of work, when you’re dealing with mysteries of the present, past, and future… nothing is ever as it seems.

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

We'd like to thank our Patreon supporters, without whom The Penumbra Podcast would not be possible. Thank you so, so much. A list of those heroes can be found at the bottom of this page: http://www.thepenumbrapodcast.com/about/

We are a small team that currently relies on fan donations to keep food on our plates and buy us time to create this show, and so we mean it literally when we say we could not do this without you.
