The Penumbra Podcast
Harley Takagi Kaner and Kevin Vibert
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.")

2.04: Juno Steel and the Lesson Learned (Part 1)
The Penumbra Podcast
05/09/17 • 45 min
Working for a man as connected as Ramses O’Flaherty means access to places nobody else gets to go... or wants to, as it turns out. Because on this case Ramses is sending Juno into the Fortezza, Hyperion City’s prison for criminal genius, to stop a murder before it can be committed.
Who’s the victim, you ask? Well... Ramses, of course.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

2.08: Juno Steel and the Dragon's Den (Part 1)
The Penumbra Podcast
07/04/17 • 38 min
Someone is out to kill Ramses O'Flaherty -- and whoever they are, they should be here. A killer called this home, but it isn't any kind of home Juno's ever seen before. This is a place where the impossible happens, where an ancient heroine walks the streets, where dragons live on every mountaintop... and where nothing is ever as it seems.
Welcome to Polaris Park.
And welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

4.19: Juno Steel and the Clean Break (Part 1)
The Penumbra Podcast
08/23/22 • 41 min
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.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your stay.

2.01: Juno Steel and the Kitty-Cat Caper (Part 1)
The Penumbra Podcast
03/28/17 • 35 min
Detective Steel is in a slump, and Maia King might have just the case to bring him out of it. One problem: half the case is going to be figuring out what the case even is, because if Ms. King is to be believed, the culprit would have to be... well, something that doesn’t exist. The stakes are life-or-death here... so hopefully Juno can figure out whose life or death before time runs out.

1.02: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask (Part 2)
The Penumbra Podcast
03/17/16 • 50 min
In the hunt for a crime boss's murderer, Detective Juno Steel and Agent Rex Glass have ended up somewhere very peculiar: a game show.
Well, it should be peculiar. But in the house of the Kanagawas, Hyperion City's premier crime-family-slash-entertainment-network, nothing is peculiar so long as it's caught on camera. In the eyes of a camera you can sell anything: a mad genius's horrific game show; an ancient death mask that kills whoever disturbs it; and even, strangest of all, a Detective and Special Agent who really think they have a shot at surviving this mess.

1.01: Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask (Part 1)
The Penumbra Podcast
03/16/16 • 40 min
(Note: this episode is a rewrite, recasting, and remaster of the original "Juno Steel and the Case of the Murderous Mask (Part 1)," and is our recommended jumping-on point for the series. If you're curious about changes made, the original version of "Murderous Mask" can be found on our website at thepenumbrapodcast.com.)
Juno Steel has had a lot of clients in his time, high-profile and low. But when he’s called in to investigate the murder of Croesus Kanagawa, head of the Kanagawa crime-family-slash-entertainment-network, it’s not the client that interests him. It’s what Croesus was wearing when he died – and an ancient curse that hangs over that very strange mask.

2.12: Juno Steel and the Stolen City (Part 2)
The Penumbra Podcast
09/12/17 • 45 min
Late at night in the Museum of Colonized History, just a few short days before the election that will decide the fate of Hyperion City, Juno Steel is watching the Mayor participate in a heist gone horribly, horribly wrong. And typically a heist not going well would be great news for Juno Steel, Private Eye... if only his bust of that heist hadn’t also just gone belly-up.
The crooks will escape in half an hour. Juno and Captain Omar Khan of the HCPD are running out of time to stop them, and prevent the trail of bodies they’re leaving behind them from getting any longer. And they just might be able to do it, if nothing else goes wrong.
Which is, of course, precisely the cue for something to go very, very wrong indeed.
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.

2.02: Juno Steel and the Kitty-Cat Caper (Part 2)
The Penumbra Podcast
04/11/17 • 41 min
Juno Steel’s first day back on the job has started well: he’s outnumbered, cornered, and almost certainly going to be killed any second now. Just life as usual in the PI business.
This case may be typical, but the solution will prove anything but. The mystery, after all, is one of the strangest Juno has ever encountered: who kidnaps a woman’s cat... just to replace it with an exact copy of the one they’ve stolen?
Welcome to the Penumbra, dear Traveler. We hope you enjoy your journey.
