Down these mean streets a man must go…
Are you in the market for some cyberpunk paranormal detective action? Consider Roy Kaplan, a detective audio drama inspired by old time radio classics like Richard Diamond but taking place in the cyberpunk future!
If you need something found or something found out, Roy Kaplan is the man for the job. With the ability to talk to ghosts and bypass any lock, there’s no mystery that’s beyond his reach, and no trouble that’s big enough to scare him off. Kaplan, with the help of his ghost roommate Wes, navigates his hostile cyberpunk city life to investigate missing persons, blackmail, murder, and everything in between.
I’ll be posting occasional blog posts here about Roy Kaplan, so if you’re interested in the behind-the-scenes or the writer commentary, you can watch out for those. Otherwise, everything you want to know should be right here on this page!
Out of Sight
In Out of Sight, Kaplan will have to solve all kinds of mysteries, from the petty scams to the conspiracies to the diabolic murders, and come face to face with parts of his own past. But as Roy keeps an eye out for trouble, he’ll soon find there’s trouble with an eye out for him…
This first season consists of 12 episodes, all about 35-40 minutes long, with a projected release date around the start of 2025. The format is episodic, so each mystery is self-contained. Production is currently ongoing–we’re just missing some voice files and finishing up editing as much as we can. We’re looking for (paid!) voice talent, and you can keep track of our casting calls either on our Tumblr or Discord. Keep an eye out there if you’re interested in joining in!
You’ll be able to listen to Roy Kaplan on any podcast feed aggregator, or on this website. I’ll also be posting the transcripts on this website, for those who prefer that sort of thing.
