    Episode 10: For Those Whose Assassins Will Not Be Cute

    Episode 9: For Those The City Is Not Done With Yet

    Out in the wind, nothing but the cold and open water ahead, we hear the relentless sounds of a robot building a boat and two feet pacing anxiously in the gravel.  The mission is clear - get across the river.  But Metropolis is a place that takes and does not give.  It is naive to think that it will ever give up anything... or anyone... without a fight.Follow the show at https://luxradium.org!DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/TKUJYpJqMgINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/metropolis_podcast/TUMBLR: https://www.tumblr.com/luxradiumTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lux.radiumBLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/luxradium.bsky.socialFB: https://www.facebook.com/lux.radium

    Episode 4: For Those Who Couldn't Sleep Either

    The note on Nan’s desk says: “Look in Room 14633. Use the card. Don’t ever say I’m not helpful.” The card that came with it is burning a hole in her hand.

    Episode 2: For Those Who Know She's Not Goldie Grozny

    It’s been weeks, and no word from Stanley, just the clanging sounds of that ominous recording echoing in Nan’s ears.  Was it a taunt?  What was it, exactly? There is nothing in the world that Nan wants to do more than to go figure it out and find Stan, but there’s one problem: he was in Metropolis, and one does not simply walk into Metropolis.

    Episode 1: For Those Still in The Bull Powered City

    Things aren’t great in Arnhem.  Nobody seems that interested in putting back together what the war has blasted apart, and now the city has started smelling like literal horse manure.  All anyone has to look forward to are dispatches from Metropolis - that mysterious, shining, robot-powered city in the Arctic where everyone seems to have it all figured out.But do they? The Arnhem Fact-Gazette newspaper has a man on the ground there - Stanley Bronfels - but he’s just a sportswriter, and he’s definitely not being encouraged to dig for muck when there are diamonds to swallow and magic robots to describe.  But Stan’s best friend is Nan Kanally - the ace reporter for the paper back in Arnhem - and she has a way of getting you to do things you might not ordinarily do.  That’s why Stan likes her so much.  Does he know what she’s about to get him into?Follow the show at https://luxradium.org!DISCORD: https://discord.com/invite/TKUJYpJqMgINSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/metropolis_podcast/TUMBLR: https://www.tumblr.com/luxradiumTIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@lux.radiumBLUESKY: https://bsky.app/profile/luxradium.bsky.socialFB: https://www.facebook.com/lux.radium
