  • 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!
