In short order, Adam and Amy travel to Hawaii to meet with Captain Choi, hoping to ascertain what she intends to do with her newly acquired magic. Once they get there, however, they find themselves in a discussion more delicate and more confrontational than either of them were prepared for.

Episode 18. The fall of 2029. As Adam comes to grips with the reality of a world with multiple magicians in it, he does his best to find the answer to the question that haunts his every waking hour: how did the ancient Harbinger Empire survive two ring-wielders coming into conflict with one another? By 2032, whether Adam managed to solve that riddle or not may be key to thousands of people and multiple nations surviving the Atlantic Crisis.

Episode 17. The summer of 2032. Two years after the event that led to the destruction of Boston, the world is still reeling. While Adam serves the start of a life sentence, Amy works to change the way the public views that fateful day. It is a very uphill battle. However, when another of the world’s seven magicians uses her powers in a very dangerous, very public way, Amy and the Shepherd Administration must work together to find a way out of the modern world's second great magic crisis. But given the powers and the immunities that are granted to them by their Harbinger rings, what can they even do to stop a magician who very much feels like an unstoppable force?

It also mentions, but does not depict, incarceration - specifically within the American prison system - military activity, danger involving flying and aircraft, and a large-scale disaster.

Season 2 is a couple weeks away. And if you don’t have time to re-listen to all of season 1, we wanted to help you out a little bit. So Jeffrey, Gabriel, and I are here to do a recap of season 1.  

Three quick thoughts before we jump in. 

First, s with our first season- we'll be doing livestreams of season two episodes before they air! There will be more information on our social media, and on our website at www.audaciousmachinecreative.com.

Next, you know how the Harbingers is a story that jumps around in time? For this recap we have taken all the twists, turns, and loop-di-loops and ironed them out into a chronological straight line. By doing that, it makes some parts of the story more clear and some less clear. So you might notice new connections. 

But that leads me to my final thing - a caution. We left stuff out. This isn’t a replacement for listening to season 1. You will miss lots of stuff. 

So please, enjoy this for what it is. A good way to jog your memory and get excited about what comes next.

Without further ado, please enjoy… the story thus far.

Introducing [REDACTED]; from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters)

Following the death of his twin, failing actor Jacob Kane assumes his late-brother’s life in hopes of a fresh start. Instead of finding stability, Jacob finds himself working within The [REDACTED] Unit, a covert agency tasked with containing impossible creatures and phenomena. As he becomes entangled with paranormal forces and secret agendas, Jacob begins to discover a sense of belonging in a place he never expected.

Equal parts horror and workplace satire, [REDACTED] takes inspiration from late 90s & early 2000s television like procedural monster-of-the-week shows X-files & Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and the classic ensemble banter of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and Psych.
