Echidnacht is the holiest day for monsterkind, the day when monsters ply each other with spooks and sweets and a monster's favorite pastime of all: competition. It is also a day for tales of terror, like Caroline is telling the head of WEP security on this particular Echidnacht evening -- a tale of three great monsters of Silvershore and the only creatures fearsome enough to defeat them.

Happy Halloween, dear Travelers. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Deep in the waters of Silvershore lies the City Beneath, home to the city's water-breathing denizens... and an ancient and mysterious monster named Enoch.

Enoch, it is said, was present when Silvershore was first built, and so knows every secret the city holds. Sir Tristan the Cold is in search of one secret in particular -- and neither Enoch nor the city they built will survive if Tristan gets his hands on it.

Sir Lamorak of the Piercing Eye, so named for his ability to see through any situation, is not used to house calls. He moved to Silvershore, in part, to get away from house calls -- and yet today his home is full of enemies, new and old, and none of them are willing to leave until they get what they want from him.

Doctor Palomine Aurinko made a career out of changing people. A behaviorist, in his mind, should be a sculptor of the soul: a set of firm hands to grasp and pinch and mold a person into anyone -- or anything -- he desired.

Palomine is long dead now, but his ideas live on without him. The sculptor's hands continue to mold... and Juno Steel is about to find out what happens when those hands start changing someone very close to him.

Silvershore's clock tower breaks out from the skyline of beehive apartments and exploding tree-monsters, a constant declaration to the most fundamental truth of Silvershore itself: advertising.

Because the clock tower isn't just a historically important building; it is also the headquarters of Wayward East Press, the largest entertainment business in an entertainment city. The offices are near-impossible to break into... unless you happen to know a lot of secret information about how the WEP runs their business.

Enter the mysterious Lam, a book thief who seems to know a lot of secret information about a lot of secret things. His bag of tricks opens the door for he and Olala to enter these offices and rob them blind... but does he know enough to get them back out again?

If you love the Penumbra, check out a new podcast from our friends at the Fable & Folly network. Broken Road follows a veteran struggling with obsolete military implants who teams up with a defiant farmer and her daughter against a corrupt lawman. It’s a story of ingenuity in the face of corporate greed, exploring what it means to be human, the need for personal connection, and the strength of community in the face of insurmountable forces.

 

Broken Road, Episode 1: Some Chips You Don’t Cash In 

Summary: Emmett, a veteran with failing military-issued “enhancements,” finds himself stranded in an inhospitable town.

Hidden in the Wayward East lies a city lost to time: Silvershore. With silver sands twinkling in the spring sunlight, cool waves of the Wayward sea lapping at its docks, and violet crystal monoliths jutting from the surrounding desert sands, Silvershore is a place of beauty... and of mystery.

Every city has its secrets. A secret city has even more. And though Olala wants to learn the secrets of Silvershore, though she wants to make this strange city her home... she may soon find that what happens in secret shadow is more than she bargained for.

What is the recipe for a prison break? Take one family, tear them apart, tenderize their minds, marinate them in fear and paranoia... then leave them to sit, confident that they aren't going anywhere.

And that confidence is key. Because the moment you think you have the Aurinkos beaten, the moment you're certain they've given up on themselves and each other? That's when they show you you're wrong.

Aurinko Permanent Corrections is not like other prisons. At Aurinko Permanent Corrections, they believe in rehabilitation. They believe that all of us have the ability to be better, do better, and it is with this certainty that the warden might look you in the eyes and ask:

"So why aren't you doing better? And what do I have to do to you to make you start?"

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

There is very little that the regions of the Universe can agree upon. The Northern Wilds has their monster-hunting furor, the Western Wastes are known for their scholars and scientists, and in the Southern Frosts survival against the elements dominates daily life. But in all three regions of the Universe, children are taught the same lesson: do not enter the Wayward East, for that way lies madness.

But every region has its rebels. So here they stand, at the Eastern gates -- two Northerners, two Westerners, and a Southerner -- prepared to venture into madness themselves.

The truth is worth a little madness, after all. Unfortunately, it won't be a little madness meeting them out there in the Mirrored Plains; it will be quite a lot.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Juno Steel would really like to take the past, lock it up in a little box, and throw away the key, thank you very much. It's hard to blame him: with his childhood friend hunting him down and his recent love gone without a trace, the past is really feeling like the place where all of today's problems were born.

But Juno is a detective, and even if he's decided he's done with Sasha Wire and putting Peter Nureyev on pause, curiosity will always bring him back. Now, between the journal in his pocket and Sasha's strange secret base all around him, Juno will find that the past never stays locked up for long.

#PenumbraParty

To keep the show running, we need your help!

In lieu of our yearly Patreon funds drive, we're excited to launch an initiative so all our fans can support us in making The Penumbra Podcast possible -- even if you can't spend money on Patreon or merch right now. By promoting the show, you’ll also unlock awesome prizes for all Penumbra fans. 

We're challenging fans to spread the word about our show on Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook or Instagram in one of three ways: 

1. Leave us a review on iTunes. Make sure to take a screenshot of the review before you submit it (iTunes likes to eat reviews sometimes, but we won’t hold that against you!) and post that screenshot to your social media using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast.

2. Make a social media post using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast about why you love the podcast, your favorite characters or your favorite episode. If we see something super creative, you might get a shout-out in the credits of an upcoming episode!

3. Host a listening party (in person or virtually) with at least one person who has never heard the show before. Post a picture/screenshot of the party (a text thread or Discord counts!) to your social media using #PenumbraParty and #ThePenumbraPodcast.

It’s helpful if you tag us on social media, too—and yes, you can make multiple entries!

Post before 11:59 PM EST on February 10 to unlock awesome bonus content and prizes. The more tasks you do, the better chance you’ll have at winning THE GRAND PRIZE. 

What can you win?

At 200 entries, EVERYONE gets access to all blooper tracks that we’ve released on Patreon.

At 500 entries, EVERYONE gets the Season 2 Live Q&A video.

At 1,000 entries, EVERYONE gets a full Juno Steel Mystery in found texts (aka The Case Files of Juno Steel).

These prizes will all become available at patreon.com/thepenumbrapodcast, but you will NOT need to be a Patreon supporter to view them. 

THE GRAND PRIZE: One lucky participant will be selected to receive FREE early access to episodes for the rest of Season 4!

We can’t wait to see you at #PenumbraParty. Thank you so much to everyone who supports the show!

Note: We know that even though we said “this is not a guilt trip,” some of you are probably going to feel like you need to rush to the Patreon. We really appreciate your kindness, but unless you genuinely think you have the funds to continue supporting us for the foreseeable future, we ask that you not do that; though we understand this is very well-intentioned, it actually hurts us when people pledge to the Patreon and then drop their pledges soon after. The Patreon is our only way to plan ahead for our expenses and income, and if it’s artificially inflated we could end up in the hole. If you’d like to donate just once, we ask that you please use https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/thepenumbrapodcast

In which Damien the Pious learns a very important lesson: never meet your heroes.

Harley and Kevin say hello after the hiatus, and remind everyone that the first Juno Steel episode of Season 4 drops TODAY (9/26/21) for $4 Patreon supporters. Plus, if you pledge at any level you will have access to all of the rewards from last season's Bonus Spectacular (with more rewards coming soon!). For everyone else, we'll see you on 9/28/21 for the public release of the episode. 

Ticket link: https://www.eventbrite.com/o/the-penumbra-podcasthyperion-city-productions-31122391343

Tickets will go live on May 25th, 2021, at 1 PM Eastern! Remember, tickets are LIMITED, so get yours while you can.

This is a TWO-PART SHOW, so the performances of Part A will only cover the first half of the plot, while Part B will be the second half. Part A will be performed on June 12th at 7 PM Eastern and June 13th at 1 PM Eastern, so you can choose whichever time works best for you! Part B will be performed only on June 27th at 1 PM Eastern.

Note: Because of the ticketing setup, you WILL need to purchase tickets separately for Part A and Part B. The base price per performance is $10, but we know that people's financial situations vary, so we will also be offering the option to purchase a cheaper ticket, or, if you're feeling generous, to purchase a more expensive ticket to offset the cost of someone else's.

The hour of judgment is upon the Second Citadel, and its self-appointed judge, jury, and executioner sharpens his blade in wait. It may not be true that might makes right -- but if the mightiest are wrong, who can stop them from saying otherwise?

Some people will do anything to protect their home. The trouble arises when others who live there disagree on what they must be protected from.

In the days following the fall of the First Citadel, humanity's last survivors looked to their Saints for guidance through drought, exhaustion, and famine. And many, many years later, four humans and a lizard-bug-man-thing found themselves with a daunting task of their own: to make it through a family dinner without driving each other completely insane.

Which had it harder?  It's a toss-up, honestly.

Juno Steel has been feeling a little out-of-body, lately. Kind of like... well, it's been so busy he hasn't even had time to listen to his own thoughts. But the day of a wedding demands reflection: on where we came from, and where we are going.

And at the end of a good thing, is there any question scarier than "where are we going?"

A legend can only die when the stories surrounding it stop being told. But a life, even one that generates legends in its time... a life is very, very fragile.

It's showtime -- and what a show lies ahead of us. Tonight we steal a legend, darlings, and no one in this galaxy is more prepared for the task than we. Why, nothing could stop any one of us, I should think, which does raise an interesting question: if none of us can be stopped, what happens if one of us attempts to do the stopping?

Welcome to the Penumbra, darlings. I do hope you enjoy your stay.

Love is, of course, the most heroic emotion -- but only if you're a hero while you're feeling it. If you're evil it's just... icky? Has anyone checked if evil people can feel love?

Milltown. The darkest night, when villains walk freely to spread their evil in the cover of shadow. In this cursed land, at this cursed time, is there no one who will take a stand for Truth, Justice, and the Citadel way?

Put on your masks. Tonight, justice hides his face.

Hi, Travelers. We are postponing this week’s episode for a few reasons, but one of them is that we’d like to take a moment to focus on this historical moment and to say that Black Lives Matter.

The Black community’s fight for human rights is not by any means a new one, but we do find ourselves in a time when many more non-Black people are waking up to it. We think it’s important to ask ourselves who we want to be at this crucial moment in history, and to behave in a way that we can be proud of.

With that in mind, neither of us are Black, so we can only speak for non-Black people and what we feel we ought to be doing under the circumstances. Those things are:

1. Protesting
2. Supporting the protests
3. Donating to Black-led organizations that are fighting racism, police brutality, and the prison industrial complex
4. Helping to educate and spread information
5. Emailing/calling elected officials
6. Talking to our own friends and family members who are not yet ready to be a part of the movement.

We will be putting links in the show notes where you can get information and find out more about how to support the BLM movement, but because we have already seen a lot of resources on #1-5, we wanted to talk a bit more about #6.

For Sophie, what that looks like is helping to educate family members who are already intellectually and emotionally in support of BLM, but are not yet sure how to participate. They sent their family members the Antiracist Allyship Starter Pack document (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1bUJrgX8vspyy7YttiEC2vD0DawrpPYiZs94V0ov7qZQ/htmlview), and they proposed that we each pick a few articles or videos to read/watch and then discuss as a family. That way, they are making it something they can do together, and acting as a resource but not a lecturer.

For Kevin, what that looks like is talking to loved ones who are coming from a very conservative starting point. He has learned that debating people is not actually a functional tactic, as much as he might like it to be, so he has created a document (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UVPSv_Fa5mHQIkkPCy38PJgQle4qtcyOJ-lsASh7SMk/edit) with some tips on how to get initially resistant friends or family members to align themselves with BLM without trying to debate them.

If you are not Black, we hope that you are doing everything in your power to be a part of the Black Lives Matter movement in whatever way you can. If you are Black, we want you to know that we stand with you.

Be safe, and make us proud. We’ll see you soon.

Every city has its secrets that it keeps under lock and key -- and that's why Quanyii, Witch of the Wastes, has no interest in those. If every city has them, they're not exactly special, are they?

The big secrets though -- those are a little more hidden. Like... two locks and two keys. And Quanyii has one secret of the Second Citadel just like that that he wants. All he needs is an accomplice.

Oh, hello, little girl. Do you have a minute?

Vespa Ilkay's best days are behind her.

It doesn't matter if this statement is actually true; she has convinced herself that it is. Whenever Vespa looks at herself today all she can see is the woman she used to be: a galaxy-class doctor and assassin. A legend.

It doesn't matter if Vespa ever was a legend, or if she really has fallen as far as she thinks she has. She has made her decision, and tomorrow, she will act on it.

Although that may not matter, either. Because if the visitor in the night has their way, tomorrow will never come.

In thirty minutes, the Bridge at the end of the world will be destroyed. It will go like this: there will be one explosion; then there will be two explosions; then there will be a terrible whistling, a shriek from beyond the stars; and then... silence.

And thirty minutes after that the Bridge will fall again. And again. And again. And unless Olala, Damien, and Arum can race up that Bridge and find their way back to a stable present before their thirty minutes are up, this end of the world might claim them, too.

Untold years ago, a monster woman and a human man witnessed the end of the world. It went like this: one explosion; then two explosions; then a great rumbling; and then, darkness.

And that should have been the end of it, and them, and everything. But today, one-and-a-half monsters and two-and-a-half humans will witness that end again -- and if they aren't careful, it might be their end, too.

A 100% canon adventure involving three best friends just as their adult lives are about to begin. "The Oldtown Trio," they call themselves, and they've been close for so long it seems like nothing could ever get in the way of them being friends forever. But something's been rubbing the Leader of the Gang, Mick Mercury, the wrong way for a few months now, and he's hoping one last big, exciting, completely-canon adventure will be just the thing to bring back the good old days.

And it just might. If it doesn't kill them, first.

There is no Fate, where the Universe is considered; there is only Intention. Things may have their proper place, of course, but once they get there... what they do is anyone's guess, including the Universe that brought them there in the first place.

Today's Intention:

The Four of Wastes, smelling blood and running, running; the Ax of Wilds, blade still wet with blood, in hot pursuit; and then...

Well, there are some things even the Universe doesn't know.

Reduce all to what is most essential. A debutante's ball. A Gilded Globe. A ballroom floor, approximately 3000 square feet. An auction gone awry, An ex-detective shouting his cover at the top of his lungs, spitting it on the floor for all to see, an ingrate, an immature...

And my debts, mounting. Even now, with every second.

File it away. Reduce all to what is most essential. A debutante's ball. A Gilded Globe...

Stood by a river’s bend

A blow of the hunting-horn. A battlecry. Boots that crash through snow and ice, the crackling of open flame, the bellow of an ancient, timeless beast of the frozen tundra.

They call him Old Cinder, the Frozen King of Flame. And this is just another New Year's celebration in the Southern Frosts.

The creatures which thrive at the end of the world are enough to make even the bravest knight's skin crawl. Massive slugs of sentient slime and nightmare-guards to a fortress beneath a sea where nothing survives walk the halls that lead to Fort Terminus, and passing them will be no small feat.

Yet our heroes trudge on. On separate paths they draw closer and closer to the heart of this palace of horrors now, and if one thing scares them most, it's this: whatever lies within that terrible place terrifies the beasts outside it, too.

Give up control.

That's what the thing that looks like Mick says to do. And in a year like the one Juno Steel has had, with the past, present, and city of the future all out to get him... why not? In a world where control can be torn from you so easily, so constantly... why not just give in, let that thing plug you in to its monstrous chip, and give everything you have away to it?

So why not, Juno? Why not give up control to the Theia Soul?

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

Ramses O'Flaherty has been a busy man in recent days. A brand new way of life doesn't build itself, after all -- and before you can ever build it, you'll have to tear down the old life getting in everyone's way.

As Juno and Rita come up from the sewers they can see, immediately, that Ramses has succeeded in the latter goal. Oldtown is gone. It's never coming back. And in its place stands Newtown, a shining city on a hill, a paradise of Ramses's own design. The only questions, then, are these: what is paradise? And what must one do before they allow one through its gates?

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

Legends say that far north of the Second Citadel, close to the Northern edge of the world itself, lives the Spiral Sage. They say he is a powerful being, a sacred warrior for human good who controls time and the wilderness itself. They say he is a great hero.

And he'd better be, because the number of creatures who need saving keeps on rising. First Lord Arum, then Rilla and Sir Caroline, and then... well, you'll just have to hear for yourself.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

Far, far to the north of the Second Citadel lies the Terminus, a sacred or magical ocean (depending on who you ask), a place of power where world-changing things happen... and where monsters bicker for order and entertainment.

Sir Caroline and Rilla are deep in monster country, now: deep enough that the human tales of this land are fuzzy and indistinct. They've wandered into the land of beasts... and soon they'll find that the rules are a little different here.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

Down in the sewers, home seems like a distant memory. It's even more distant for Detective Steel now, because even aboveground home doesn't feel like home anymore. Hyperion City has changed. Even its sewers have changed, and the things that crawl in those sewers.

And at the bottom of it all is Ramses Takano, or should we say Jack O'Flaherty, or should we say any number of names that once belonged to this incredible disappearing and reappearing man. Blink and his face has changed. Blink and your city has changed. Blink and your home has changed -- and once a thing like that has left you, can you ever find it again?

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

Where is everybody?

That's the question that dogs Juno Steel now. He has bigger things to handle, he knows. Loose ends to tie up, old betrayals to pay back, and a mysterious mayor to reckon with. But even while city-sized mysteries weigh him down, the one that concerns him most is much closer to home... and while he tries to solve his disappearing act, all he has to keep him company is the tale of another disappearance, thirty years in the past.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

Well, the boy-knights have definitely learned one thing about Nymphs: Nymphs LOVE Sport.

And at first, the boys loved Sport too... until it became clear that this was less throw-the-ball-around-with-your-friends-and-rivals and more blood sport. Twists and turns wait behind every rule of this violent game, and one such twist is just in the distance... where the sound of great wooden wheels signals the arrival of the Nymphs' long-awaited Damsel.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

What's more knightly than rescuing a Damsel? Doing it better than all the other knights, of course... especially if those other knights are really, really annoying.

Sir Marc and Sir Damien do not like each other at all. Each is extremely important to the other's favorite person, and neither understands it in the least. So when a glade of beautiful forest-women offers to watch these men manhandle one another in manly competition, how can they say no? Saving ladies, being swooned over by ladies, flexing your muscles at ladies... isn't that what the knight life is all about?

So enjoy the moment, boys, and don't be like Talfryn, sitting on the sidelines and watching those nymphs very closely. Don't question that strange sound you hear, or those markings in the grass, or the way those nymphs are watching, abuzz with anticipation of... what?

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

He tunes the radio, sorts through static for answers. Only questions, clean and clear: can one child really ruin the lives of his entire family?

A ghost-sound, like a voice; then, gone.

Why did he have to stay with her? Who was that at the door, all those years ago? Did his life, her life, Juno's life... did they all have to end this way?

No port in the static storm. But then, distant, a sound. He's found it, he thinks; tunes closer, and closer, feels the rush of answers, the relief of a mystery solved. It comes closer, a banging sound, like footsteps, echoing... and then he's found it.

And he wishes he hadn't.

Here comes Turbo. The Man of the Future.

Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

"You did it in one day. One choice. When you let him in, when you let the hero rob us blind without taking a thing."

That's how Sarah Steel justified the murder of Benzaiten Steel, twenty-one years ago. But the day she was referring to was even older: fifteen years before that. A motive a long, long time in the making.

But what does that mean? How could one four-year-old child ruin three lives?

Juno remembers. But what he remembers... can't be right. It can't be.

It can't be.

Today we journey within. Within the sands of Mars, to the clinic of Hanataba; within the Theia Spectrum and its labyrinthine connections; within the mind; within the past itself.

Try to throw away the past if you like, Juno Steel, but it lies within. And you can't lose your past without losing yourself... can you, little monster?

Subject: the Keep of Titan's Blooms. Symptoms: spreading petrification; irritability; musical inclinations. Suggested treatment: cooperation with its master, Lord Arum, a creature who would scoff at the idea of tracking symptoms in the first place, a lizard whose scaly mind is ever-absorbed in suspicion, self-preservation, and ego.

Side effects may include: sleep loss; injury; frustration; entombment; and then...

Keep it together, Rilla. This is a medical record, not your diary.

Deep in the Swamp of Titan's Blooms stands a towering plant with no equal in the Second Citadel. It is in parts tree, fern, beanstalk, and a single gigantic flower -- and it is the Keep from which Lord Arum watches over his Swamp.

No human has ever seen the labyrinthine interior of this Keep until today. When Rilla awakens in the Keep she will come face-to-face with things she'd never dreamed she'd see, magical artifacts and creatures and mysteries that tie deep into the workings of the very universe... but unless she can find a way to escape, she may be the only human to ever learn of them.
