Magnetar: We Own...Your Future

Magnetar: We Own...Your Future

magnetar / ˈmæɡnɪtɑː / noun a type of neutron star that has a very intense magnetic field, over 1000 times greater than that of a pulsar. 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.
