Sophie Kaner and Kevin Vibert helm The Penumbra Podcast, a production house for scripted audio dramas that blend cinematic soundscapes with diverse representation. The team produces the long-running Juno Steel series, a Martian noir following a non-binary private eye, and The Second Citadel, a fantasy epic exploring chivalry and romance across enemy lines. Their cinematic approach involves full-cast performances supported by original orchestral scoring and intricate foley art. Professional partnerships with brands like Brooklinen and BetterHelp demonstrate their ability to integrate sponsorships into a high-production audio environment. Recently, the team expanded their creative portfolio with the satirical dystopian thriller Thirst, which utilizes a commercial-supercut format to critique media and climate change. By appearing as regular panelists at conventions like DragonCon and Arisia, the creators maintain a direct connection to the independent fiction community while delivering narrative-driven series that have received attention from The New York Times and The Guardian.
