The Shadows (podcast)

The Shadows is a fictional narrative podcast created by Kaitlin Prest, written by Becca Dower, and produced by Mermaid Palace. The podcast explores the complicated and often messy realities of love, relationships, and personal identity through a blend of scripted scenes, improvisation, and experimental audio techniques.

The first season, released in 2018, follows the tumultuous relationship between a fictionalized version of Kaitlin Prest and a charismatic musician named Jamie. It delves into themes of codependency, power dynamics, and the challenges of maintaining authenticity in a romantic partnership.

The second season, released in 2020, focuses on a different relationship, this time between Kaitlin and Carisa, a documentary filmmaker. This season examines themes of queer love, commitment, and the evolving nature of intimacy.

The Shadows is noted for its intimate and vulnerable portrayal of relationships, its use of sound design to create an immersive listening experience, and its blurring of the lines between fiction and reality. The podcast often incorporates elements of auto-fiction, inviting listeners to question the authenticity of the characters and narratives presented. The show has received critical acclaim for its innovative storytelling and its exploration of complex emotional landscapes.
