Genre: Sci-Fi • Mystery • Dark Comedy • Audio Drama
In a future where memory can be rewritten and truth comes in encrypted fragments, Magnetar follows the agents, analysts, and outliers working for a shadowy organization known only as The Company.
Each episode peels back another layer of a vast, interlocking conspiracy involving artificial intelligence, cosmic phenomena, and the quiet terror of not knowing what’s real.
Part mystery, part satire, Magnetar mixes sharp wit with speculative science—where bureaucrats debate black holes, androids suffer from existential dread, and cosmic anomalies are just another line item on the mission log.
From the creators at Shoestring TV, Magnetar stars Eric Carlino as Agent Pot Roast and Michael Cunningham as Agent Beef Stew, along with an ensemble cast of misfits navigating surveillance, sanity, and the stars.
Magnetar: We Own...Your Future
DAY SIX: Echoes of the Starfarer
Synopsis:
A ruthless Census interrogation cracks open the Company’s spotless façade—forcing Agent Beef Stew to explain missing “reports,” unexplained anomalies, and the one name he never wanted to say out loud: Welsh Rabbit.
On Chora Beach, Director Chapman scrambles a chaotic taskforce to hunt down Agent Pot Roast, Olivia, and Roger after Snail Station collapses and the trio vanishes into the jungle. But Pot Roast’s escape comes at a cost—and the deeper they run, the stranger the island becomes.
Moonlit freedom turns to paranoia, hunger, and whispers in the dark… until a smug, impossible voice guides them toward the ominous Mirror Fields, where the ground crunches underfoot and the jungle may be watching back.
The mission is still the mystery—only now, everyone’s on the move.
