From the creators of The Penumbra Podcast, Thirst is a reality-show-themed horror story that launched in July 2025 as the sixth season of The Penumbra Podcast. Set in the not-so-distant future of the Forty-Seven Habitable States of America, where the news is too terrifying to watch and entertainment reigns supreme, Thirst tells the story of a violent dating competition, Can't Tear My Eyes From You. Contestants in this brutal game are pushed to their limits by a tirelessly cheerful algorithm that designs their challenges, and a sadistic host with a flair for cruelty. The series explores the dark question of whether a cash prize and a safe home away from the rising sea are enough to make the contestants sell their souls for a brutal game with inscrutable goals.
