Midnight Bureau
Midnight Bureau is a noir-inspired audio drama podcast blending crime, horror, thriller, the supernatural, and fantasy, centered on the enigmatic, hard-boiled detective B. K. Shade, a towering figure of scarred pensive rage and unyielding resolve, who operates from the shadowy Nairobi-based headquarters of the Midnight Bureau, a living entity ensnared in a fractured fissure through time, traversing eras, realms, and shadowed dimensions. From this temporal abyss, Shade unravels eerie supernatural mysteries echoing across East Africa’s haunting landscapes, immersing listeners in a world of psychological suspense and moral ambiguity where ancient African myths bleed into modern despair and the unseen whispers secrets of the darkness within. Collaborations with the sister agency, Nightshade Agency, expand the universe, introducing new characters and cases that span the veil between worlds.
