Adventures in New America is the first sci-fi, political satire, Afrofuturistic buddy comedy, serialized for New Americans in a new and desperate time. Set a few years in the future, Adventures in New America follows the escapades of two mismatched African-New-American best friends — fat, lonely, curmudgeon IA and lesbian sneak-thief Simon Carr — who take on a series of increasingly wild heists to get quick cash to pay for IA’s medical treatment while attempting to survive the wilds of New New York City — and a secret cabal of Tetchy Terrorist Vampire Zombies from outer space. Intrigued? Good! Frequently, there will be musical numbers... and radical reflections on our dangerous, beautiful, heart-pounding world.

Anthem: Homunculus
We hope you enjoy this sample episode of Anthem: Homunculus, a new fiction podcast from our friend John Cameron Mitchell and Bryan Weller. Anthem features 31 original songs delivered by 40 actors (with 7 Tony Awards®) and 30 musicians on one unconventional audio stage. (Glenn Close sings a punk song nailed to a cross, Patti Lupone is a junkie nun singing bebop, Cynthia Erivo is Joan the Baptist spreading the Gospel of the Virgin Mary.) Anthem teeters on the razor-funny knife-edge of life as the characters struggle to live after loss, love after hate, and survive in a world flirting with Apocalypse. Created by John Cameron Mitchell and Bryan Weller, Anthem: Homunculus is the first in the new anthology series from Luminary Media and Topic Studios. New episodes will publish each week only on Luminary Premium. Subscribe to keep listening.
