When a ritual murder shocks the city, he finds himself unwillingly partnered with a local psychic—and drawn into an investigation that uncovers a generations-old occult society hidden within New England’s Old Money elite. For decades, they have quietly deepened their hold on a real and dangerous supernatural force. Now, someone is challenging the old order—and leaving a trail of decorative and macabre murder scenes in their wake. Dark Providence blends the forward momentum of a serial killer investigation with the scale and dread of a gothic conspiracy thriller, where every answer leads deeper into an occult system sustained by wealth, legacy, and sacrifice. Premieres May 19th, 2026. New episodes weekly.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-08T20:18:37.006963+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dark-providence-7867572"},"episode":{"title":"Episode 1 - What Cheer?","slug":"episode-1-what-cheer","published_at":"2026-05-19T11:07:21+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dark-providence-7867572/episode-1-what-cheer","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dark-providence-7867572","url":"https://darkprovidence.podbean.com/e/episode-1-what-cheer/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/aj5y32egfk7qs87y/DP_101_What_Cheer_05042026_v58i7pg.mp3","summary":"In the 1930’s, the Bauer Experiment crosses the threshold.
