Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always... complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once - though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much.

Then, they became the first two ... more

  • It's a gripping story. Politics, intrigue, and magic. A beautiful blend of reality and fantasy, with incredible voice acting.

  • Anxiety Avengers Acquire Infinity Gems.

    Acting! Quips! Zingers! Academia! Banter! Shouting over each other! Questions during a spell! Nervous vocal tiks!

    It's an odd study of power, from those without power, and how it affects others.

    I can't say they aren't realisticly drawn, but these aren't pleasant people to spend time with. I've never yelled STFU at a podcast before.

    Like every other media, ya gotta have a 9/11. Ya gotta. Always.

  • Soooo good

    Anyone who says there’s too much political commentary is being silly. If an offhand comment by a character about not liking billionaires or homophobes *offends* you enough that the entire show is ruined, then maybe you shouldn’t be listening to queer indie audio dramas, lol.

  • The prestige meets the avengers with a splash of both court room / political drama topped off with some YA (but not in a bad way) romantic feuding.
