The Penumbra Podcast

Dive into thrilling worlds with The Penumbra Podcast, home to Juno Steel, a sci-fi noir, queer cult favourite and The Second Citadel, a fantasy epic where friendships and romance are forged across enemy lines. Coming soon: Thirst, a brand-new series from the creators of The Penumbra Podcast.

In Juno Steel, follow a sharp-witted private eye on Mars as he investigates ancient alien artefacts, a mysterious homme fatale, and his biggest fears: heights, blood, and relationships.

Case by case, Juno tangles with politicians, police, crime lords, mad anthropologists, entertainment executives, and a rogues’ gallery of the most dangerous and powerful people the galaxy has to offer.

Despite his stubborn efforts to cling to his misanthropic ways, Juno’s list of bizarre and lovable friends and family only grows longer throughout his years as a PI. Can this sardonic sleuth beat his personal demons to find companionship, stability, and happiness even in a place as broken as Hyperion City?

Or step into The Second Citadel, where the fierce Sir Caroline, the first female Knight of the Crown, leads an eclectic team of warriors against mind-manipulating monsters.

As the humans hurry to grow and diversify their army of knights and the monsters genetically engineer ever more threatening beasts, the impending war threatens to destroy them all.

When the eradication of either side becomes too horrible to bear, is there any creature alive who can end the bloodshed for good? This silly and sincere magical epic is perfect for fans of Nimona and Our Flags Means Death.
