0:49

friends, this week we're excited to

0:51

introduce you to Moonburn. A brand

0:53

new young adult, queer slice of

0:55

life podcast from our friends over

0:57

at August year-round productions. When a

1:00

down-on-his-luck 18-year-old named Lucas moves into

1:02

a New York City boarding home

1:04

for a fresh start, he discovers

1:06

decades-old diary cassette tapes left behind

1:08

by the room's first occupant, Carter.

1:10

The tapes for shadow tragedy, but

1:13

they also lay out a beautiful

1:15

path for surviving in the city.

1:17

With the heartfelt stories and invaluable

1:19

advice contained within these tapes, Lucas

1:21

embarks on his journey. Through the

1:24

trials and tribulations of life in

1:26

a new city, accepting himself, creating

1:28

lifelong friendships, falling in love, and

1:31

even uncovering a few mysteries about

1:33

his new home. Season 2 continues

1:35

Lucas' journey as he navigates the highs

1:37

and lows of building a new life

1:40

in New York City. Heating the guidance

1:42

of a new set of diary cassette

1:44

tapes, facing fresh challenges, forging the unbreakable

1:47

bonds with his chosen family, and searching

1:49

for a sense of purpose, all while

1:51

confronting the unexpected difficulty of a brand

1:54

new housemate at Bourbon Street Boarding. We

1:56

know that fans of Greater Boston will

1:58

love Moonburn for its... Frank exploration of

2:01

heartfelt LGBTQ characters navigating a world that

2:03

isn't always ready to accept them. Its

2:05

entire cast of lovable misfits has an

2:07

incredible sense of chemistry that has you

2:10

begging to listen to another episode. It

2:12

owes a lot to the work of

2:14

Lauren Shipens' atypical artists, so if you

2:16

came into this scene with a deep

2:19

love for the Bright Sessions, you'll feel

2:21

right at home. Take a listen to

2:23

their pilot episode right here, right now,

2:25

and go search for Moonburn in the

2:28

podcast player of your choice to catch

2:30

up with the rest. Hi.

2:54

I guess I should start

2:56

by saying I'm Carter. If

2:59

you're listening to this, you're

3:01

probably in my old room.

3:03

The boarding home on Bourbon

3:05

Street, right? Third floor, room

3:08

on the left. Neither that,

3:10

or maybe you found this

3:12

in the dumpster somewhere, it's

3:15

just gone. Kind of the

3:17

risk we run, I guess.

3:19

You know, we all end

3:21

leave something of ourselves behind.

3:24

some legacy, but you never

3:26

really know what's going to

3:28

come of it after you.

3:31

Well, after you're gone. I

3:33

guess my hope is that

3:35

if you, whoever you are,

3:37

find this, because that play

3:40

around the loose floorboard by

3:42

the claws, maybe you're meant

3:44

to hear it. Maybe it'll

3:47

help. I just moved to

3:49

New York. It's a new

3:51

city. No friends or family.

3:53

No money. And those support,

3:56

it's just me, but with

3:58

a plan. One

4:02

year to finally find

4:04

myself be myself and

4:06

live I don't really

4:09

live One year to

4:11

record this this diary

4:13

and share that journey

4:16

My story because Even

4:18

though I've already made

4:20

up my mind on how

4:23

my story ends, um, maybe

4:25

I can change someone else

4:27

Maybe in leaving this piece

4:29

of myself behind for you

4:31

to find I can show

4:33

you some of the mistakes

4:35

the lessons the triumphs and

4:38

failures Everything to give you

4:40

a leg up as you

4:42

embark on your own journey

4:44

Your own story Maybe I

4:46

can help you succeed where

4:48

I already know I can't

4:51

Maybe my story can make

4:53

a difference and it's not

4:55

heartbreaking. It's it's hopeful It's

4:58

my way of leaving a

5:00

lasting mark of finding some

5:02

any meaning in my life

5:04

and helping it makes all

5:07

the difference in yours. It's

5:09

my way of surviving because

5:11

after this one year these

5:13

recordings will be all that's

5:16

left of me. I'll be dead.

5:36

This is it you put

5:39

the address in the app

5:41

kid. It's 2024 check your

5:43

phone. Yeah, okay. I guess

5:45

I just thought it would

5:48

be less dated Right, thanks

5:50

All right Lucas here we

5:52

go you got this You

5:54

packed your whole life into

5:57

two suitcases in a

5:59

back Pack bust yourself

6:01

halfway across the country,

6:03

bought off that one

6:05

particularly insistent cougar. This

6:08

is the easiest part. The

6:10

only thing standing between you

6:12

and starting your new life is...

6:14

Do you always talk to yourself?

6:17

You heard all that? Mm-hmm. From

6:19

one of the many windows. Right.

6:21

So can I help you? Yeah, I'm

6:23

looking for... Sorry, my phone's in

6:25

my bag. Is it Kerry? Trina,

6:27

I'm the new porter. We don't

6:29

have a new border, sorry.

6:32

Good luck to you though,

6:34

and your whole sad life

6:36

in bags. Wait, this isn't

6:38

urban street boarding? No?

6:40

Sadie! Oh, why bother?

6:42

Hi, Karina. Karina, that's

6:45

it. And you must be

6:47

Lucas. I'm the house mom

6:49

here. Nice to meet you, ma'am.

6:51

Karina's fine. And this

6:54

is... Well, that was Sadie,

6:56

anyway. Now, come in. Come

6:58

in. Let me show you to

7:00

your room. You're on the third floor,

7:02

room to the left. I can

7:04

come back down from my other's

7:07

suitcase, really. Don't be silly. It's

7:09

a light load compared to some

7:11

of the others. And come to think

7:13

of it, Sadie brought a whole van

7:15

with her when she showed up a

7:17

couple years back. Though, if I

7:19

recall, she also somehow already had

7:21

three young men helping her move

7:24

in. Well, anyway, I'm glad you

7:26

found us, Lucas. I know we're

7:28

not the... fancy as choice in

7:30

NYC boarding, but there's a lot

7:32

of heart in this place. Honestly,

7:35

I'm lucky I found it. I have

7:37

to say, I didn't expect the

7:39

room to be rented within a

7:41

couple hours of listing it, much

7:43

less having you move in the

7:46

next day. Yeah, I was kind of

7:48

already on a greyhound out

7:50

here without any place to go.

7:52

You don't know anyone in the

7:54

city? No. I know I'm a sound

7:57

crazy, but... No, you sound

7:59

brave. here

8:01

we are your new room it's

8:03

nothing much and we still

8:05

have to finish some of the

8:08

deep cleaning last tenant moved

8:10

out less than a week ago

8:12

but I think we got it back

8:14

into some shape for you it's perfect

8:17

well since it's getting

8:19

late already how about I leave you

8:21

to get settled in tonight and we

8:23

can do a full house tour tomorrow

8:25

after you've gotten some rest yeah thank

8:27

8:30

but also before

8:32

I go I just want to make

8:34

sure that you see yes

8:36

8:38

your welcome basket our

8:41

house rules just some things

8:43

to remember in order to succeed here

8:51

age noise to a minimum after

8:56

my room clean in the communal

8:58

spaces cleaner check the collective chore

9:00

wheel every week no visitors without

9:02

permission and no overnight guests

9:04

ever that even goes for

9:06

friends and family visiting back home

9:08

I don't think anybody from back

9:10

home will ever got it listen

9:14

Lucas a

9:16

lot can be said for making a

9:18

fresh start many young people have

9:20

come through this house over the

9:22

years on their way to

9:24

bigger and better things

9:26

I have a good feeling you might be one of those people

9:28

too just takes a

9:30

little time a little

9:33

adjustment and following a

9:35

few simple rules I'm down in

9:37

the maze and out if you need

9:39

anything there's a door in the kitchen thank

9:41

you Karina

9:46

sounds like the rest of your housemates just got home

9:48

if you want to meet them oh uh

9:50

I think I just should get ready

9:52

for bed tonight if that's all right been

9:54

a long couple of days sure get

9:57

some good rest good night Lucas Shit.

10:08

Seriously?

10:29

My favorite sweater! How

10:31

janky is this place that

10:34

there's random floorboard sticking!

10:37

What the... Damn! Of course I

10:39

caught myself now too. Leave it

10:41

to the ancient boarding home

10:43

to have a whole secret compartment

10:45

under a loose floorboard.

10:48

With an equally ancient

10:50

tape recorder? Like the

10:53

beginning of a spy movie. Your

10:55

mission, Lucas, should you choose

10:57

to accept it? Hi.

11:00

Okay. It's talking. Oh. I

11:02

guess I should start by

11:04

saying I'm Carter. If

11:06

you're listening to this,

11:09

you're probably in my

11:11

old room. The boarding

11:14

home on Bourbon Street,

11:16

right? Third floor, room

11:18

on the left. Neither

11:21

that or maybe you

11:23

found this in the

11:25

dumpster somewhere. It's just...

11:29

Holy crap. Kind of the risk

11:31

we run, I guess. You know,

11:33

we all aim to leave something

11:36

of ourselves behind some legacy, but

11:38

you never really know what's going

11:40

to come of it after you. Well,

11:42

after you're gone. My hope is

11:44

that if you, whoever you are,

11:46

find this, because I've just moved

11:48

to New York. No friends or

11:50

family, no money. One year. To

11:53

finally find myself. Be myself and

11:55

live, I don't really live, maybe

11:57

in leaving this piece of myself

11:59

behind you. some of the mistakes, the

12:01

lessons, the triumphs and failures. Maybe I

12:03

can help you succeed where I already

12:05

know I can't find some, any meaning

12:07

in my life. Helping it makes all

12:09

the difference in yours. It's

12:12

my way of surviving, because

12:14

after this one year,

12:16

these recordings will be all that's left of me. I'll

12:20

be dead. What

12:26

the hell? I'll

12:31

be dead. How

12:36

is that where the tape ends? Come

12:40

on, Carter, there have to be

12:42

more tapes, right? There's gotta be, wait,

12:45

a key. The where?

12:48

Nope, no, pull yourself together, Lucas,

12:50

you're half new digging into a

12:52

disgusting floor crevice for some random dude's

12:54

13 reasons why. God,

12:56

first night couldn't possibly get any

12:58

more. Hey. But you be sure,

13:00

Olivia. I saw it with my own eyes, Sadie,

13:03

I'm very observant. I don't have any. Wait, are

13:05

we missing some clothes? Pizza, we sure are a pizza. Focus,

13:07

please, Ryan, but also yes.

13:09

And you're all out the window. What?

13:13

Sorry about them. Dammit,

13:16

where do you all keep coming from? Here,

13:19

let me help you. Thanks.

13:23

Damn, first night and you

13:25

already sliced your finger open too?

13:28

Oh, just a little bit, more

13:30

of a scratch really

13:32

with blood. So

13:34

brave. In one sec.

13:39

Be cool, Lucas, be cool. Hey,

13:42

you see something? Uh,

13:44

nope. Okay. Um... Here, hold

13:46

it here. Let me, you

13:49

gotta be careful. You know, it's an

13:51

old house. lots of danger, no

13:53

matter how brave you are. Oh yeah? I

13:55

think I should find a new place.

13:57

Nah, you're trapped here with this. No

14:00

escape. I'll have to be

14:03

more careful then. Well, first

14:05

aid kids in the hall

14:07

bathroom anyway, just in

14:10

case. Thanks again. Yeah,

14:12

don't mention a new kid.

14:14

New kid. Well, maybe before

14:16

you tell me your actual

14:19

name, you should put on

14:21

some pants. Shit. Hey, not

14:23

that I'm on, you know, meeting

14:26

this way. I was getting

14:28

ready for bed. Lucas.

14:30

I'm Caleb. Likewise, Caleb.

14:32

So yeah, well, now that we're

14:35

properly introduced and I saved

14:37

you from bleeding out. To

14:39

answer your earlier question, where

14:42

we're all coming from? Oh,

14:44

yeah. Yeah. So, Olivia is the

14:46

beauty with the wavy black

14:48

hair and she's the room

14:50

across the hall from you.

14:53

Hey, Liv! Then there's Sadie,

14:55

spit fire with the freckles

14:57

and the perfect smile. She's

14:59

the room directly below you.

15:01

We actually are. Sadie! What?

15:03

And Ryan, he's the room

15:05

directly below this. You really

15:07

don't need to. Right! Yeah, one

15:09

sec. And that leaves me. Charming,

15:11

handsome, smart, you know, any description

15:13

you so choose, really. I'm on

15:15

the floor below you, too. Second

15:17

room on the right. I catch

15:19

you up? I catch you up.

15:21

I get all that. But maybe you

15:23

want to tell me why everyone just piled

15:26

in my room and out through my window

15:28

onto the fire escape. Ah, yes, another good

15:30

question, new kid. Lucas? Well, lucky for you,

15:32

Lucas. That fire escape there is the only

15:34

way to get up to the roof. Everyone's

15:37

favorite spot. And to answer your next question,

15:39

yes, there was another way. Stay well at

15:41

the end of the hall. But it caved

15:43

in like a hell a long time ago.

15:46

He even killed a kid. Anyways, that door's

15:48

been sealed up for years. For years. For

15:50

years. For years. Got it. Got it. Got

15:52

it. Everyone coming in and out

15:55

of my room happens constantly. Yeah

15:57

great. Okay, my turn to ask a

15:59

question What's with the prehistoric

16:01

tape recorder on the floor

16:04

playing static? Hey, don't just

16:06

grab. And all these initial

16:09

scrapes into the back. Initials.

16:11

C-O-K-D-A-K. Wait, let me see.

16:13

That news year or something? Does

16:16

this thing even work? Just the

16:18

static. Got it? Yep, just out

16:20

of it. Can I have it back

16:22

now, please? Sorry, it's just. 1900's

16:25

heirloom of some kind? Yeah. I

16:27

mean, no, I don't, I don't know.

16:29

Not even sure why I

16:31

care so much to be

16:33

honest. Hey, sometimes we don't

16:35

know why something's important to us.

16:38

It's just a feeling. Yeah, well,

16:40

I was gonna say sense, but

16:42

yeah. Plus, we just moved

16:44

to the city. It's weird

16:46

unpacking all your things and

16:49

starting over. I mean, we've all

16:51

been there. Really? Yeah, of course.

16:53

Caleb, what's taking so

16:55

long? Guess you should get up

16:57

there. Yeah, yeah, probably. Hey, you

17:00

want to come? Oh, uh... No, no,

17:02

that's okay. Come on. I mean,

17:04

I know they can be a

17:07

lot, but, you know, they're good

17:09

people once you get

17:11

to know them. Yeah, no, I...

17:13

It's just... I gotta get an

17:16

early start looking for jobs

17:18

tomorrow, and, uh... I should

17:21

really just get some rest.

17:23

Next time, then. Oh, and

17:25

hey, listen, you should check

17:28

out B-side. Hey, maybe they

17:30

can't even fix your little

17:33

half-working heirloom slash not heirloom

17:35

recorder. Yeah, no, thanks, thanks

17:38

Caleb. Yeah, you got it. Lucas.

17:40

Nah, nah, I can't. I'm sticking

17:42

with new kid. Good night, Caleb. Hey,

17:44

it has a ring to it, I'm

17:47

just saying. Beside.

18:00

Eastside. Huh.

18:02

You want to know

18:04

the hardest part

18:07

about all this? It's

18:09

the start. I

18:11

mean, there's so

18:13

much expected of you.

18:16

So much you expect

18:18

of yourself. The city,

18:21

the people, and really

18:23

what could be versus

18:26

what is. And I

18:28

guess, well it was,

18:30

this is supposed to

18:33

be my chance at building

18:35

something new, but the truth

18:37

is, I've only been in

18:39

New York a week and

18:42

so far, everything sucked. Already

18:44

I'm consumed with anxiety around

18:46

finding a job, making friends,

18:48

figuring out what I really

18:51

want here, even if it's

18:53

just for a year. Maybe

18:55

that's how you're feeling too.

18:59

Maybe it's how everyone feels

19:01

when I come here, regardless

19:03

of what they're trying to

19:06

do. I guess I thought leaving

19:08

the past behind would be the

19:10

challenging part, and it is hard

19:13

to let all that go of

19:15

it. Damn. I mean, starting over

19:17

is a hell of its own.

19:19

Okay, so, what's my first advice?

19:22

How do you do it? Start

19:24

over. That's kind of the whole

19:26

point of this, right? Settling.

19:30

Create a foundation. Start

19:32

small and build out

19:35

to all those other

19:37

things. All those other

19:39

pieces of the puzzle

19:41

that is your new

19:43

life. I think that's

19:45

what the Burbit houses

19:47

become for me. Well,

19:49

the rooftop, to be

19:51

exact. It's my safe

19:53

place. A refuge. Start.

19:55

So no matter what

19:57

comes. No matter... What

19:59

I to face I can

20:01

always come back here set under

20:03

the moon and the stars

20:05

record myself even

20:07

just reset and the best

20:10

part is I have easy access

20:12

my window well our window

20:14

opens to the fire escape

20:16

that leads directly up you

20:19

know you should check it out

20:21

if you haven't already okay

20:23

my point is before anything

20:26

else before anything else

20:28

facing all the anxiety

20:31

and the new stress

20:33

and what-ifs and

20:36

could-bes find that

20:39

safe space, that refuge,

20:41

that place to

20:43

build from, whatever,

20:46

wherever, whoever,

20:48

it may be, and settle

20:51

in. Whatever, wherever,

20:53

whoever, it may

20:55

be. Nope.

21:02

Another time, Lucas,

21:04

they don't even

21:06

know you. Maybe they

21:08

don't even want to

21:11

know you. Screw it.

21:13

Nobody's gonna

21:15

replace him. Of

21:17

course not. But he's

21:19

not here anymore,

21:22

so... We have to move

21:24

on. Is that it? No,

21:26

I just... I think we don't

21:28

have to ice the new kid

21:30

out just because he took over a

21:32

vacant room. Oh my god, we're not

21:35

icing him out. We don't know

21:37

him, Caleb. He could be a

21:39

serial killer. Or worse, hey, Tom

21:41

Brady. Okay, what is it

21:43

with you, Bostonians, and your

21:45

obsession with Tom Brady? Is

21:48

it, Bostonians? And you're obsession

21:50

with Tom Brady? Sorry, Fry, and

21:52

who gives up crap about the

21:55

new kid. Bad idea, after

21:57

all. Shit. Lucas? Hey y'all!

22:00

Oh god, I was gonna,

22:02

but it's all right. I'm heading, I'm

22:04

heading to bed. Serial killer vibes. Seriously.

22:07

shut up both of you Lucas,

22:11

come up. I have. It's all

22:13

right, really. Come on. So,

22:19

drinks? Where are you from, new kid? Wisconsin.

22:23

And no, to the drink, I'm

22:25

not 21, thanks though. Sorry.

22:27

Don't worry. So, mid

22:29

-western boy, how charming. What

22:32

brought you out here then, to the mean

22:34

streets of New York? Just

22:37

turn 18 and, well,

22:40

I needed to get away from home. Far

22:42

away. So you just packed up

22:44

all your things and caught a plane out here

22:47

without any sort of plan? Hey, Sadie, can

22:49

we give the third degree arrest please? No,

22:51

it's okay. Things weren't

22:53

great back home. I thought it was

22:55

time to try something new and

22:57

I don't have much on me, really. Took

23:00

a few Greyhounds, planned a bit as I went

23:02

and found this place, luckily. Yeah,

23:04

lucky us. Honestly, good

23:07

for you. Thanks, Olivia. Okay,

23:09

go, go, go. Can we get

23:11

some music or something now? Yes, please.

23:18

Hey, you you want to see the

23:21

viewing again? Uh, sure. So,

23:28

Kayla and Lucas are just gonna sit over there

23:30

on the edge of the roof all buddy -buddy

23:32

after meeting like literal minutes ago? They're just getting

23:34

to know one another. Yeah, intimately.

23:36

My God, you guys don't

23:39

know that. Oh, sweet, naive, Olivia.

23:41

Even you don't believe that. I...

23:44

fine. But what are we supposed to

23:46

do? Go out there and interrupt them

23:48

and force them out of becoming friends?

23:50

Oh, no, I wouldn't do that. Don't

23:52

you worry. I already texted Joshua. Sadie,

23:54

you didn't. I did. The second this

23:56

Lucas guy creeped up to the roof.

24:08

Yeah, the others don't like me very

24:10

much, huh? They just take a sec to

24:12

warm up, is all. It's more than

24:14

that, though, isn't it? Weren't you guys, like,

24:16

close with the guy who lived in

24:18

my room before me? Oh,

24:21

um, yeah, I

24:23

guess you could say that.

24:25

Well, what happened to him?

24:27

Nothing. Just moved out. The

24:30

next topic, please. Did he

24:32

ever mention anything about Carter?

24:35

What? Who's Carter? Oh,

24:37

um, I think he was someone

24:39

else who used to live in the room

24:41

before us. Well, as far as I know,

24:43

he didn't know anybody in the room before

24:45

him, but maybe he just never mentioned him,

24:47

tended to leave a lot of things

24:49

out. Sorry, did I say something wrong?

24:51

No. No, hey, I'm

24:53

sorry. Josh just kind of,

24:56

well, he didn't exactly leave on

24:58

great terms. I'm

25:00

sorry. Josh is the old. I got

25:02

that. Anyways, you said you didn't

25:04

exactly leave home on great terms either,

25:06

right? Yeah, I

25:08

came out to my parents over the summer.

25:11

It didn't go well. Ah,

25:13

I'm sorry, no

25:15

other feeling. When I

25:18

moved out here, I was still

25:20

coming to terms with being

25:22

bisexual, and my family doesn't really

25:24

understand either. They just think

25:26

it's some sort of college age

25:28

phase. You mean this is

25:30

who we are permanently? Yeah, I'm

25:33

afraid so. Oh, geez. Caleb,

25:41

all right. Shit.

25:43

Hey, guys. Really, shady? You

25:45

texted him to come to

25:47

the roof. He's our friend. Don't come

25:49

for her when you're the one being a douche.

25:51

A douche? What are we in fifth grade? We might

25:53

as well be the way you've been acting with Lucas.

25:55

Someone please explain what's going on. You think you

25:57

can just show up here and swoop in

26:00

on Caleb because what? He's hot and you're lonely?

26:02

You didn't swoop in

26:04

on anything. You're right. He

26:06

just fell into your charming

26:09

little spell. Screw you Sadie!

26:11

Yeah! Screw the rest of us

26:13

when Caleb has a shiny new

26:16

toy show up at the house.

26:18

I'm not! Seriously, that's crossing a

26:20

line Sadie. Maybe I should just

26:23

go. Yeah, maybe you should. No.

26:25

It's okay. It was a mistake

26:27

coming up here. and Caleb's

26:30

boyfriend. Excuse me. Lucas,

26:32

wait. Seriously, Josh? You're

26:35

really going after Lucas?

26:37

He didn't do anything wrong.

26:39

Hey, Lucas, please, let me

26:42

explain. No, Caleb, just leave

26:44

me alone. Please back away

26:46

from the window. This is

26:48

the last thing I need right

26:50

now, okay? Do you know

26:52

how alone I am? Sadie's

26:55

right about that. I just...

26:57

I needed someone. A safe

26:59

place. A what? Nothing. That's...

27:02

Obviously not you, so good

27:04

night. What? Lucas! Stupid.

27:07

You're so stupid,

27:09

Lucas. Have you

27:11

ever heard of Moonburn?

27:14

It's this imaginary

27:16

burn you get from

27:19

spending too much

27:21

time outside at night

27:23

in the moonlight. I've

27:27

been spending a lot

27:29

of time outside at night.

27:31

Like I said, the roof is

27:33

my safe space, my place to

27:36

get away when things

27:38

get overwhelming, which, if

27:40

I'm being honest, feels

27:42

like most of the time

27:45

these days. I thought I'd be

27:47

able to tell you this

27:49

is getting easier, but I'm

27:51

still feeling lost and

27:54

alone and... Oh God,

27:56

you're probably listening to this and thinking,

27:58

what a hopeless mess I am. I'm

28:00

sorry that I haven't been more

28:02

help. Maybe I should just quit while

28:05

I'm behind. Give up, let this

28:07

plan fade into obscurity and

28:09

end everything here and now. Stand up

28:12

on the edge of the roof and just...

28:14

and just... Moonburne
