## Overview

Depending on who you ask, the Penumbra is either the grandest hotel this side of Nowhere or a twice-monthly podcast series. Each episode takes the form of a 30-50 minute radio play.

The Penumbra is all about stories you recognize told in ways you won’t expect. Your femme fatale might be an homme fatale; you might find that not every haunting needs a ghost. Your criminal underworld might advertise on billboards ten miles tall, and when push comes to shove your home might have a bit more heart than you’re comfortable with. It’s never just a heist, a Western, an adventure. It’s the parts we think are still fresh about those genres — along with what we keep locked behind our doors.

And what’s behind those doors, you ask? Well… see for yourself.

## Trivia

* Season 2 is the longest season of The Penumbra Podcast thus far, boasting forty-one full episodes in comparison to Season 1, which had twenty episodes.
* In the post-season 2 Q&A, Kevin and Sophie admitted they think of season 2 as two separate seasons. For the Juno Steel stories, at least. But since the Tales of the Second Citadel left off in an unsatisfactory place before the hiatus, they left it as one whole season.
