💧 Welcome to Wet Park: the park where you can technically experience recreational water.

Splash (sort of). Wade (within reason). Hydrate (responsibly).
Because in the Forty-Seven Habitable States of America, “wet” is a luxury.

🏞️ Visit Wet Park and look stylish while doing it in our all-new merch!

Entertainment is king. The seas are boiling. And we made merch.

Introducing our Thirst collection! Inspired by the reality show you definitely shouldn’t volunteer for: “Can’t Tear My Eyes From You.”

Oh the first 2 minutes of THIRST has me SEETHING oh my gods this fictional evil game show has me wanting to commit a crime. Thank you @thepenumbrapod.bsky.social what an absolutely teeth-gnashing experience.

(I'm having a good time)

Despite great personal... ahem... sacrifice, Jedediah Jordan is not pleased with how episode 2 of Can't Tear My Eyes From You went. What's he going to take next to keep the ratings high?

You can find out right now, because episode 9 of THIRST is available on all podcast platforms!

I feel the same!!! I also love trashy reality tv and horror so this is actually such a perfect series for me

Thank you so much! We're hoping once we have a more binge-able chunk of the story out there we'll see an uptick, but we definitely need all of your help to get us there. If you could help spread the word and recommend to your friends it would mean the world to us - we believe in this story so much 🙏

IT'S HERE AND IT CAN BE YOURS

“Can’t Tear My Eyes From You” a silky, lounge-inspired pop track by Harrison M. Beck, written for The Penumbra Podcast’s, Thirst.
