Guys..... Please listen to Roy Kaplan. This show has so much love and effort poured into it over a long (& very worth the length) production time, AND EVERY EPISODE HAS ITS OWN ILLUSTRATION!!??? I MEAN COME ON!!!!!! IM GRINNING LIKE A MANIAC!!!!!!! If I was a billionaire I would reward that with one ZILLION dollars (I stole an additional trillion to get to a zillion, from my billion. We all know rich people steal). You know how much I love illustration (if u know me... or I suppose that's fairly obvious, but I digress) Anyways the performances are so fun & the story is fantastic, and the creator/production is so so very kind, pls give this audio drama the love it so very much deserves – there isn't much to get thru listening-wise, and u will not be disappointed. Again thank u for letting me be a part of this in general, I AM SO HONORED. I'm shaking around little pompoms for ROY KAPLAN!!!!

Yes, you heard me right, Roy Kaplan: Out of Sight is finally ready for launch, complete with a proper (and actually correct) release date: December 28, 2024. I did say that I was going to get this ready for launch by the end of the year!
If you don't know what Roy Kaplan (or Roy Kaplan, Private Investigator if you prefer) is, it's a paranormal cyberpunk detective audio drama taking place in a (very low-key) post-apocalyptic future. It features the titular Roy Kaplan--private investigator, ex-burglar, and psychic--as he puts his wits to the test to solve all kinds of cases with the occasional assist from his ghost roommate, Wes. Stylistically, it draws significant inspiration from old time radio shows such as Richard Diamond and hardboiled detective fiction of the 1930s-50s.
This first season, Out of Sight, consists of twelve all-original mysteries, each 30-40 minutes long. It will be releasing on Saturdays every two weeks, with Patreon supporters able to hear episodes a week early.
Roy Kaplan is hosted on Pinecast, which means you should be able to listen to it on any podcast aggregator that supports RSS feeds. It'll also be available on common podcast apps like Spotify and Amazon Podcasts (right now Apple Music is having some hiccups, so we'll see what happens with that). It's also available on YouTube, if you like getting your podcasts through there.
Alternately, you can listen directly in your browser at my website, where you will also find the full voice credits and transcripts and writer's commentary blog posts if you're into that sort of thing. You can subscribe to my newsletter if you'd like to get notified of Out of Sight updates directly in your email.
I will have more to say about the show (about things like how to support production and whether season 2 will happen) but for now, season 1 is cooking and it's nearly ready to serve!
If you want more information about Roy Kaplan, the best place for information is the main page on my website, which will have all the links to everything else.
(For the trailer credits and transcript, that is also on my website.)
Happy listening, and I'll see you on the other side!
