Barrington is still reeling from a broadcast unlike anything he's heard — real-time news, delivered across the Republic as if by magic — when he's introduced to Professor Morris, an American who found this place years ago and chose to stay. Two strangers, two worlds colliding, one impossible place tying it all together. Performed entirely by Jason Hightower.

A strange, impossibly fast vessel tears out from the hidden harbor to meet them — and its pilot has never heard of the outside world Barrington calls home. For the first time, the name "Iron Republic" is spoken aloud. Performed by Jason Hightower.

The voyage south brings Barrington face to face with something no map prepared him for — walls of ice rising like cliffs from the sea. Episode 4 is live now, and it's where things get strange.

Disgraced and adrift, Barrington makes a decision that will change everything — turning his planned voyage away from the Arctic, and toward the ice fields of the South. Performed entirely by Jason Hightower. Catch Episode 1 if you missed it, and Episodes 3 and 4 are ready now.

In 1902, an account was published under the name J. Edward Barrington — one that has never been proven fiction, and never been proven true. The Iron Republic brings that lost manuscript to life, word for word, performed entirely by Jason Hightower (voice of Jackie Welles in Cyberpunk 2077, Captain Doza in Star Wars: Resistance). It begins with a man's public ruin — a rigged election, a shattered career, and a vow to leave everything behind. Episodes 2, 3, and 4 are live right now — keep listening.
