Interlude 01 - Peripheral Vision

It's Kate's birthday, and after everything she's been through lately, she hopes she'll be able to relax a little and celebrate-- for once. Her and Jack make plans for dinner and a movie, and she's begun to dare to hope-- but someone with a hidden agenda wants her dead-- desperately-- and they've hired the notorious super-powered assassin Killer Fox to help make that happen. Jack rushes to her aid as the Man in Black-- but this may be an encounter that brings ruin to them both... _______________________________ Detective Kate Kavanaugh - Star Lee Twitter: @starling_lee_va Jack Dobson - Joseph Bozlinski Twitter: @JBozVA https://www.youtube.com/@valiantshadowproductions Narrator - Loretta Chang Killer Fox - Gwen Leitner Madison Park - Alexandria Hodson Amberlyn Vega - Calista Robinson Doctor K - Sarah Jacklin Casting Call Club: https://www.castingcall.club/seheard Donahue - Reeko Brooks Mayor Marlowe - Ray O'Hare Kinsey - Lee Moray Morgan - Jamie Martinez Twitter: @JamieMart_VA Keenan - Alex Furness www.alexfurness.com Tyler - Carson Fett Laslow- Ellis Bertrell Leonardi- Jeremy Tucker Casem- Brian Sundin Kenny- Cruz Vento Sofia- Mystic Waterz Newscaster - Christopher Z _____________________________________ Channel and episode art by Starling (Our very own Kate Kavanaugh!)

Apex Shadow is a neo-noir superhero themed audio drama, following the lives of a police detective and a social worker, navigating the consequences of living in a world where people with godlike power fly above us, nearly unchecked.   In our latest episode, a case hits close to home after Kate's mother, artist Delilah Kavanaugh, is witness to a horrific crime. Old wounds are aggravated, tensions are high, and perhaps some new understandings will be reached! Meanwhile, the villainous Deathstorm continues a deadly crime spree-- and the Man in Black keeps a watchful eye... waiting to see just what Kate is going to do...   CAST:   Detective Kate Kavanaugh - Star Lee Twitter: @starling_lee_va   Jack Dobson - Joseph Bozlinski https://linktr.ee/jbozva   Narrator - Loretta Chang   Delilah Kavanaugh - Holly Harris   Deathstorm - Wyatt Boden https://www.youtube.com/ @cbwprofilms    Detective Morgan - Jamie Martinez Twitter: @JamieMart_VA   Detective Kinsey - Lee Murray   Dr. K - Sarah Jacklin Casting Call Club: https://www.castingcall.club/seheard   Officer Morrison - Oliver Summers Twitter: @SumOlives   Captain Donahue - Daemonic Seed https://linktr.ee/DaemonicSeed   Jumpstart - Christopher Z https://www.youtube.com/ @audioanomaly5316    Additional voices by Akiva Vita   This episode contains   Violent character death Police action Adult language Superpowered fantasy violence    

Now that the situation with The Bagman has... semingly been resolved... Kate turns to other matters. Like interviewing the hospitalized Liam Turner, still recovering from his violent encounter with the Man in Black. Adversarial though he may be, will Kate be able to glean any new information from her talk with him? Perhaps she'll come one step closer to uncovering the killer's true identity... ----more----Cast list:----more----Detective Kate Kavanaugh - Star Lee ----more----Twitter: @starling_lee_va ----more----Liam Turner - Ian Blancas ----more----Dr. Elliot Reed - Mac Hunter ----more----Detective Kinsey - Lee Murray

A new costumed serial killer stalks the streets. The wild and merciless Bagman has been tearing his way through innocent women for far too long, right under the collective noses of the police department. When young newbie hero Nightstar takes it upon herself to try and stop him, consequences beyond her imagining fall over her life like a chilling shadow, and the events ensnare both Kate and Jack -- as they butt heads over right and wrong, victim and perpetrator. ____________________________________________________ This one took a long time to get out to you guys!

Many years prior to the first episode, a chance encounter between Jack and Claire leads to blossoming romance in happier times, amidst discussions of superhero ethics, and the thorough trouncing of lobster-themed would-be conquerors...! ____________________________________________________ We hope you enjoy our first interlude!

As the situation within the Turner household comes to a head, emotions are running high, and the threat is very real. Jack and Kate both try their hardest to convince Jasmine Turner the time has come to take the next important step in her life-- but will she find the resolve to do what she must? And what sort of demons haunt Jack Dobson, when he's not devoting himself to the wellbeing of others? Revelations and emotional gut-punches abound in this episode! Things are going to change forever. Don't miss it! ____________________________________________________ Welcome to the third episode of Apex Shadow! This episode featured my friend and colleague, Christopher Z, of @audioanomaly5316 on production and sound design. Christopher did an incredible job, and he'll be handling production duties for the foreseeable future, so that I can focus on writing, direction-- and acting, I suppose! :p So give him a warm welcome, and check out Audio Anomaly! You'll see me over there a lot, as well! (Spider-Man: The Audio Drama is coming soon...!) We still have a couple cast members working with sub-par setups in this episode. Bear with us! This is a labor of love, and not everyone has access to top-tier resources. So we're doing the best we can with what we've got! We hope you'll appreciate the awesome performances that our cast brought to the table, above all else! This episode is a doozy, so please be mindful of your emotional boundaries! We're going to some heavy places here, so everyone just do your best to be safe and have fun! As always-- thanks so much for listening! ______________________________________________________ Content Warnings: Apex Shadow is an audio drama dealing with mature subject matter that some listeners may find upsetting.

Apex Shadow - Episode 1x02: Fragile Little Gods - Part 1 Following her brush with death, Kate is more determined than ever to bring down the Man in Black. But that'll have to wait, as both she and her new friend Jack are pulled into the orbit of the Turner family. Liam Turner, AKA The Champion, is thought of by many as the city's new symbol of hope in the wake of the Downtown Tragedy, and the disappearance of Apex. But when a domestic disturbance call reveals cracks in the veneer of the perfect family image, horrible truths must be confronted... even if that doesn't sit right with City Hall. ____________________________________________________ Welcome to the second episode of Apex Shadow! This episode was an absolute bear to complete. Many of the cast started or returned to school, and had to contend with less than ideal recording setups. A number of us got sick at the worst possible times. Family matters. Hardware troubles. Some numbskull accidently deleting most of the project files and having to start everything from scratch halfway through. (Ahem. Hey. 'Sup?) But, though it took far, FAR longer than it was ever meant to, here we are, with episode 3 right around the corner! I've brought on a production assistant, my good friend Christopher Z, from Audio Anomaly, to help make sure episodes continue to come out at a somewhat reasonable pace. He's doing great work on episode 3, and I can't wait for you all to hear it! Thank you all for your patience, and we hope you enjoy! ______________________________________________________ Content Warnings: Apex Shadow is an audio drama dealing with mature subject matter that some listeners may find upsetting.
