At the Penumbra, you might follow Juno Steel, a brooding, sharp-witted private eye on Mars, as he tangles with an elusive homme fatale, tracks dangerous artifacts of an ancient alien civilization, and faces his three greatest fears: heights, blood, and relationships.
Or you might enter the world of the Second Citadel, where the merciless Sir Caroline must corral a team of emotionally distraught all-male knights to defend their city against mind-manipulating monsters...even the ones they’ve fallen in love with.
These audio dramas and more await you in the Penumbra, dear traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay. (Start with "1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask" or "1.09: Second Citadel - The Head of the Janus Beast.")

5.22: Juno Steel and the Thief's Honor (Part 1)
It's difficult to stay sane while you're in two simultaneous life-or-death situations, but Juno Steel is doing his best. With the Ruby 7 psychically splitting his attention between two places -- one where he is imprisoned and experimented on by Dokana executives; another where Nureyev must argue to save Juno's life -- things are looking pretty grim. And with each passing day, the executives draw closer to isolating what they need from Juno... which means that each day, they draw closer and closer to disposing of him entirely.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

5.21: Second Citadel--The Fall (Part 2)
The Second Citadel has stood, tall and proud, in the Northern Wilds for centuries. It is the bastion of humanity in the region, a settlement carved out from an unforgiving land. No matter what happens, you must remember this: there are people who call it home, people who love it, people who have never known anything but it.

5.20: Second Citadel--The Fall (Part 1)
Sir Galahad the Great is a popular man in what remains of Silvershore. Some people want to kill him; some want to ask him a favor; some want to reward him for his good work in reducing the beautiful city to dust and rubble. But who ever would have guessed that it's the last of these three visitors he has to worry about?

5.18: Juno Steel and the Terrible Waste (Part 1)
Out in the furthest reaches of the Milky Way float piles of things best left forgotten: trash, refuse, the runoff and leftovers of a society that wants too much and produces too much. What better place, then, to put an impossible dream: that dead bodies, what we leave behind when we eventually exit life, might start to walk and talk and love again?
The Dokana group has chosen one of these trashteroids as their place to dream this dream. But be careful: it doesn't take much for a dream to become a nightmare.

Avis des utilisateurs
So good
As of writing this I’m about to finish season 3 of Juno Steel. This writing is fantastic, and it’s probably some of the best I’ve read/heard. I’m obsessed with this show and the people behind it, and I can only say praises for this. The queer rep, the story, all just so fantastic. I’ve never had a show keep me on the edge of my seat more than this. I can’t wait for what’s in store
Edit: I caught up (S5E19) and I stand by my previous words. Give me more sad men/women, penumbra
The story that keeps evolving
Im only nearing the end of season 2 but this show has been a light in the darkness. Season 1 was a darker in my opinion, but season 2 sheds light. Character start to change, they evolve, they challenge their own assumptions, and you can see that, despite all the negativity and the challenges of the world they live in there is still hope. Their preconceptions are challenged and shifted. Their internal struggles continue, but in a different light. They change from hopeless characters, whom do you think are a simple stereotype of such characters into more complex more rounded believable people. People whom you wish to succeed. People whom you want to know more about and how they grow. The growth excites me. It makes me excited for the three seasons yet to come in my future.
Season five might be the last season of the second citadel and Juno steel. It might be the last season, but I am excited for the journey to come. For me to get there and see who these people become. these characters evolve even over the course of two seasons, I can see… I can see things are more complex and continue to grow to be more complex every episode, and these characters will not be whom they are right now. They will change. They will grow. They will evolve they will become someone else. I am excited to see who that is.
THE podcast
I’ve really struggled to find a podcast that I enjoy, but the Penumbra Podcast has given me exactly that. Both story’s are incredible, even the bonuses have so much detail. You can just feel the time and passion put into them. There’s a wonderful story, well written characters, comedy that always lands, and beautiful queer representation. Please listen and support this amazing podcast, you won’t regret it.
