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 12 - A Delicate Balance","slug":"episode-12-a-delicate-balance","published_at":"2026-09-08T09:03:47+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dark-providence-7867572/episode-12-a-delicate-balance","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/dark-providence-7867572","url":"https://darkprovidence.podbean.com/e/a-delicate-balance/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/br5ydw4hsuew34yv/DP_112_A_Delicate_Balance_09072026_v89sl7r.mp3","summary":"In the season one finale, Harper reaches outward to find Peter, helping Delilah make a crucial connection to her past.
