“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...”Read full review »

Both storylines have so much going on, from fun to heavy stuff, romance and adventure, and loads of characters that really grow on you, so you come back to them to discover something new every time. Thank you Harley & Kevin and all the rest for you...”Read full review »

“Lovable characters, an emphasis on representation of minority groups, especially queerness, and hilarious, intriguing, and at times devastating plotlines, this audiodrama has it all. Ive been a fan for years at this point, and am still as captivated as i was during my first listen. I...”Read full review »

“I don’t know how they do it. This podcast is so wonderful. Balanced between genres. Thrilling, sweet, hilarious, queer in all ways. Fantasy which flips the monsters vs humans narrative with romance and morality, noir detective space pirates. Heart pangs all around. Why isn’t it it more popular...”Read full review »

“The Penumbra is one of those rare creations that deepens its connection to both the characters and the audience simultaneously over time, until listeners feel as though the characters are real-life figures in their lives. I’ve heard Penumbra listeners use these characters as examples for life...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“This podcast started off pretty great, loved it all the way to season 3. Not a fan of season 4, it just doesn’t feel interesting anymore. Not to mention that I started the podcast bcause I thought the main character was black, which was wrong and would’ve been fine if I didn’t find out that this...”Read full review »

“I’m still early in so maybe I will update when I get further. The stories are good and engaging. Some have unexpected twists. Sometimes the acting could be better but like I said I am in the beginning.
Way to much kissing sounds though. That’s just me. I could go without that entirely.”

“I absolutely love this podcast. I first listened to the Juno Steel Series and was amazed and I honestly didn’t think it could get any better. And then I listened to the Second Citadel and it completely swept me off my feet. Wonderful voice actors, wonderful storytelling!”

“The Penumbra Podcast is one of the best podcasts I have ever listened to.

“The creators have made it clear that POC don’t belong in their queer space. Or more like, they never thought about it (despite passively riding the POC wave for a while) and then when the issue came up, they’d double down on condemning and abandon their POC fans.”
