  • An investigator with a damaged reputation reluctantly teams up with a disgraced son of a Goddess to solve the murder of a mortal.  To crack the case, they venture into the underbelly of immortal society, make deals with demigods, and risk the wrath of the powerful to expose the truth. But the pursuit of justice is rife with danger, and if they aren’t careful, they could be next on the murderer’s list.  In this contemporary fantasy where humans live at the whims of Gods and Goddesses, accusing one of murder has disastrous consequences. In Season 2, Justix Iris Tharro is back with another murder to solve— but this time, it’s Andy’s fate on the line. If she can’t prove he’s innocent of the crime, the Gods will have their vengeance.  Andymion Eriki, disgraced demigod, has been blamed for a murder. Actually, make that framed. He escapes from his immortal prison to plead his case to the only person he can trust: Iris.

  • Imagine that the next messiah doesn’t come from religion, but from the tech world. Will his choices be more likely to save humanity—or destroy it? The Madness of Chartrulean is an award-winning fiction podcast that explores this concept using a unique blend of political drama, science fiction, fantasy, and Shakespearean tragedy. Chartrulean, the promised messiah, abandons piety for progress and becomes a shipbuilder instead. He ends a war and becomes the most powerful man on Arcas, ushering in a new technological era that rekindles hope for humanity while also deepening political divides. Chartrulean’s journey is deeply personal as he struggles with identity, leadership, and the weight of his choices. Rich in lore and political intrigue, The Madness of Chartrulean was made to resonate with fans of Game of Thrones, and classic sci-fi stories such as Dune and Foundation. It examines the moral complexities of progress, pushing listeners to think critically about power dynamics and the consequences of leadership.
