  • Communist propaganda

    I started listening to Escape Pod close to 20 years ago. Unfortunately, over the years it became nothing but a stream of anti-white, anti-male, anti-capitalist hatred. This is very much a case of fiction being equivalent to lies.

  • Great stories with a wide variety of themes

    I just discovered this podcast a few days ago while seeking podcasts with si-fi stories and this is the absolute jackpot! Each episode being a stand alone story means a great variety of narratives and the themes covered in them are varied and relevant. Having a short note from the author at the end and a reflection from the hosts makes each episode rich and engaging!
