Newly-launched podcast production company Glisten+ has announced an inaugural slate of scripted podcasts which will include a total of 11 shows to be released in the next coming months, according to a report from Variety.
The first podcasts that are part of the slate launched this month. These include a young adult supernatural thriller titled Can’t Relax starring For All Mankind’s Olivia Trujillo, Cheaper by the Dozen’s Andre Robinson, and NCIS’s Patrick Labyorteaux, as well as a fantasy adventure titled League of Wonder starring actors including Blue’s Clues’ Donovan Patton, The Woman King’s Makgotso M.
Glisten+ is a production company which aims to create audio projects with cinematic qualities that blur the line between scripted podcasts and audiobooks. The company was co-founded by veteran producer Sheila Stepanek, co-founder of multi-platform entertainment company Happy Street and former CEO of Partizan Entertainment, and award-winning author and producer Adam Jay Epstein who co-created the hit horror series The Unsettling.
“We are so proud of the ever-growing team of incredible actors from both Hollywood and abroad that are lending their voices and passion to our scripted podcasts,” said Stepanek and Epstein in a statement.
As part of its scripted podcast slate, Glisten+ is also adapting the character IPs of board game publisher Brotherwise Games as part of a new partnership with the upcoming podcast titled Boss Monster Adventure which is set to release at the start of November.
“We think the story that Glisten+ has crafted will delight listeners, and we’re excited to see what future adventures might be in store for our characters,” said Brotherwise Games chief executive officer Chris O’Neal.
