REDACTED is a horror comedy audio drama from Athan (The Grotto) and Jamie Petronis (The Cellar Letters).

The show follows Jacob, a struggling actor who, desperate for a fresh start, assumes the identity of his deceased twin, Jordan. Expecting a simple accounting job, he instead finds himself accidentally in an underfunded secret government agency called THE REDACTED UNIT, tasked with discreetly handling bizarre and often dangerous paranormal cases.

‍As Jacob settles into his role, he begins to unravel the unsettling truths around his brother’s death. What begins as an act of reinvention slowly becomes a desperate descent into a treacherous web of paranormal forces, secret agendas, and moral compromise.
