New discoveries

To maintain and better serve their audience, as well as attracting new listeners, the Long Shadow podcast needed a website.

The site hosts the shows audio, and provides material backing up the new episodes, such as show notes, episode transcripts, links to related content, and the all new season “In Guns we Trust”

A commanding style

ong Shadow needed a brazen look that can lean into the disparate branding of each season and help the site stand out from typical podcast websites.

Inspired by cinema and true crime the design draws from the bold, suspenseful aesthetics of the genre, using dramatic contrasts and oversized fonts to create an atmosphere of intrigue and tension.
