The Cleansed is a post-apocalyptic audio drama podcast of our times. 15 years have passed since a traumatic undoing of society called “The Breaking.” We follow two interlocking stories – one, of THE REFUGE, where Maria and Luke, sister and adopted brother, grow up in the shadow of subsistence farming and primitive renewable energy. Their life is interrupted when John Prophet, a ghost from their parents’ past, comes riding in one fine afternoon.
Prophet comes because far away, in THE REPUBLIC, a new force is rising – a force from across the ocean bearing military might and an iron fist. This new regime promises to subjugate what scraps of freedom are left in this fallen land. And in their wake, a more ominous shadow grows…
Season 1 is here! Tune in every Friday for new a new chapter. You can subscribe to the RSS Podcast or via iTunes, or come back here for a web player.

THE REFUGE
Maria (the daughter of David and Sam) pleads for the life of John Prophet, who has earned the ire of nearly everyone in his struggle to raise a force to fight against the Republic.
THE REPUBLIC
In the City, we learn that John Prophet’s concerns are well-founded – a powerful, well-armed totalitarian regime has taken charge of what used to be New York, and that’s just the beginning of the trouble. In the Republic’s shadow, two men are raising armies to wage the ultimate war, Armageddon, and will stop at nothing to destroy one another.
