Podcast Insights
Content Themes
Centers on themes of heists, gang wars, cosmic dangers, and political intrigue, with episodes involving the crew of the Scapegoat navigating conflicts with ruthless corporations and uncovering cryptic signals while facing high-stakes adventures and unexpected twists.

THE VERIDIAN EXPANSE IS A PLACE WHERE DEBTS ARE PAID IN BLOOD.
In a galaxy of corporate cold wars and fading fringe worlds, the crew of the Scapegoat is just trying to stay flying. From high-stakes planetary heists to the silent terrors of deep-space shipwrecks, one bad jump is all that separates a payday from a cold grave.
Dark Star Adventurecast is a narrative sci-fi actual play. We play Stars Without Number live, and edit what happens into a story worth following. If The Expanse and Firefly are your kind of sci-fi, give it a listen.
MEET THE CREW:
- Thorne (Brian): spent a decade in a corporate prison for something he didn't do. He runs the crew now. The man who framed him is still out there.
- Felix (Scott): hacker who changed his name, his face, and his voice to infiltrate the company that murdered his brother. The plan is still ongoing.
- Haleyy (Stephanie): fighter, biopsionic. Something changed in her head a while back and her powers haven't stopped growing since.
- Robert (Doja): the pilot. Somewhere out there, copies of him are trying to kill the crew.
- …and Star Master Jeff, who built this sector one bad decision at a time.
