The show

What is REDACTED?

REDACTED is a horror comedy audio drama by Hush Studios on the Rusty Quill network. Failing actor Jacob Kane takes his dead twin's identity expecting a desk job, instead finding himself inside an underfunded secret government agency called The REDACTED Unit, tasked with discreetly handling bizarre and often dangerous paranormal cases.

REDACTED is a multi-season, monster-of-the-week series: each episode is a self-contained case. If you like The X-Files, Buffy, Brooklyn Nine-Nine, Psych, or The Magnus Archives, this is for you.
