Planet Radiant is a serialized fiction podcast inspired by computer games of the 1980s and '90s, choose-your-own-adventure novels, and actual play podcasts. Told in the second person like a text-based RPG, it follows YOU, the player, as you explore an abandoned museum and relive other people's memories. But under the surface, Planet Radiant grapples with what it means to transition during a global pandemic, all the while centering the experiences of queer and trans people of color. Written, performed, recorded, and scored by Sasha V. Episodes released when they’re ready.
