Find us Everywhere: https://linktr.ee/degradus The world didn’t collapse in an instant. It collapsed in stages—understood, documented, and survived.

This is Degradus, a speculative fiction podcast set in a fractured world shaped by science, corporate power, and political decay.

In Season One, we follow two perspectives:

Ella Thorn, a bioengineer working to solve the world’s existing crisis—an attempt to stabilize what remains. But solutions have consequences, and consequences rarely stay contained.

And Claire Donovan, CTO of Cureon, one of the most powerful corporations in the world, where innovation and control are often indistinguishable.

As their decisions unfold, a second collapse begins to take shape. One no one fully intended, but no one can stop. Because in a world like this… solving one problem is how the next begins.

Degradus. New episodes every Monday.
