About the show
Night Shift is a queer-led serialized docudrama centered around Echor City, home of the formidable Augur Corporation, and a host of conspiracies, all of which Sebastian Fen is determined to explore on his podcast. He records during quiet moments at his job at Night Shift coffee shop. Central to Sebastian's investigations is the face of Augur's renowned biotechnology department, Dr. Volta.
Hey everyone! I'm Julian, producer, editor & lead writer (principle hat wearer) for Night Shift, and the voice of Sebastian Fen. I'm a firm believer that anything can happen if you put your mind to it, and the Night Shift podcast is a true labor of love.
It matters so much to me to tell queer stories, especially ones where queerness can simply exist within the story as plainly and openly as it should be allowed to in real life. To me, Night Shift is a story of discovery, of acceptance, of self-worth, and of looking at the world around you and saying: how can I leave this place better than I found it?
I started what would eventually become Night Shift back in 2016, but I couldn’t have created this podcast without the help of my incredible team and our amazing, extensive cast, all of whom have sculpted it into what it is today, and to the support of everyone who listens and believes in our story. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
