Levian is a new high fantasy audio drama podcast by the creator of Desperado and Hug House Productions. It follows the story of Lord Valentin Tellari, the clever, cunning, and disgraced heir to his family’s fortune. After his sister’s betrayal forced him into exile, he now must face the deadly ocean that rages against the Drumming Isles. But neither storms nor leviathans will smother the vengeful fire that burns within Valentin. He will not know rest until he has reclaimed what is rightfully his.

If you loved Game of Thrones and Pirates of the Caribbean but also thought, “Hey, this could be gayer!”, then Levian should be right up your alley.

You can listen to episode 1 of Levian now wherever you get your podcasts, or by clicking here, and listen to more episodes weekly beginning on June 16th, 2025!

Full credits and transcripts for each episode will be available at LevianPod.com as they are released.

If you’re listening to our show as episodes are releasing we thought it’d be nice to have a weekly space for anyone who’d like to discuss the latest eps, so we’ll post one of these for each release! Let us know what you thought in the replies!

This first one is for both ep 2&3 so if you’ve not listened yet beware of spoilers!

Hi gang, it seems the main Levian blog has been shadowbanned for a while.

None of our posts appears in any tags and the blog’s name doesn’t show up in any search even with the exact spelling. We’ll turn this blog into the main hub for all our projects instead, both Desperado, Levian, and maybe more… Thanks for following us!

Lady Tellari would expect nothing less.

Hi! I'm so happy that Levian is releasing now. The first episode is already full of so much to think and talk about! To that end, when are you planning to upload transcripts to your website? Thanks for the amazing work!

We’re currently working on them alongside everything else, we unfortunately don’t have a specific date yet but we’ll try and have them out asap!
