The Midnight Rebellion by WBUR, Boston's NPR / Art by Sophie Morse

When Joule steps into her mom’s mysterious machine, she’s thrown into a strange and polluted city of tides. The sea has risen, turning streets into rivers. The air is thick and smelly. The sun feels like hot iron. And the place crawls with energy-hungry robots that shoot lightning. It’s not great!

But who said danger can’t be fun?

To find her way home, Joule must be brave and smart, she’ll need friends, and she’ll need you. That’s right. You! The person reading this right now!

Every chapter ends with a choice, and your choices shape the story.

26 episodes. 82 possible paths. You can save Joule. You might even save the world.

The clock’s ticking. What will you do?

Part 1 launches on Earth Day, April 22. Follow The Midnight Rebellion in your podcast app now to get notified when episodes drop.
