Loved it. Excellent from start to finish.
What an Exciting Adventure! Strong Characters & Great Plot. I’d love to hear more of your work. Thanks!
This is lots of fun. Clever writing, great sound effects and a good cast all come together to make it a great ride.
Sylvester Mccoy is in riotous form throughout whilst the rest of the excellent cast carry the more "composed" voice-acting side of things. Tuppence Middleton exudes a huge amount of charm and warmth throughout. Thoroughly enjoyed the series from start to finish!
The Light of September is one of the podcasts that’s so good that I donate money to keep it going (via http://www.radiostatic.co.uk). The Light of September consistently delivers on all 5 of the elements I listen for in audio drama — engaging scripts, writers who know their craft, believable characters, naturalistic voice actors, and cinematic production values.
A great scifi drama set on a ship in the middle of the ocean. Great writing and great acting makes for an amazing listening experience!
The cast is incredible (and multinational), the writing is funny, scientific at times, and genuine, it never feels or sounds fake.
I am not a podcast kind of a person, but this and the writer/director Dan Freeman's previous podcast Minister of Chance are so very well made and have such amazing characters and plots that I just can't get enough of them.
I would hi... more
I've missed Wooden Overcoats terribly so I'm delighted to have The Light of September to listen to. Certainly not the same thing but equally well written and performed. Bravo!
This gets better and better with each episode. Lots of little clues to listen out for. The current characters are developing and new ones are being introduced. Free to download and totally crowd funded. Here's to more episodes!
Really beautifully acted and produced. It has that creepy x-files feel. I have to know what happens next!!!
A really incredible series by the very talented Radio Static. The first episode sets everything up and introduces the characters, and then things get going in episode two. Sylvester McCoy is hilarious to listen to (not for children!), and great performances from the rest of the cast.
The sound effects are very realistic (I work on ships myself so I can confirm that), and the whole thing just leaves you desperate for the next episode! Cannot recommend highly enough.
Sylvester McCoy steals the show in this first episode he's very funny. This episode sets the scene nicely and makes me wanting more bring on episode two!
So, the first episode of the story may seem slow, but is a great introduction to the crew of Venus, and the ship herself. Sylvestor Mccoy steals his scenes as a scenery chewing potty mouthed engineer, but the whole cast seem to fit a lot of characterisation into a short run time giving you a fantastic thumbnail of each crew member.
So far so cool.
Beautiful sound quality. Excellent actors. This Prologue whets my appetite for more.
We're in early days as I write this, but we've already met interesting (and hilarious) characters and opened up some interesting questions which I'll have to stay tuned to unfold. Fantastic voice acting from the likes of Tamsin Greig & Sylvester McCoy and a very intriguing storyline kicking off...
1st episode sets the scene and builds the characters lovely, can't wait to see where this goes. Fantastic acting, but with a cast like that, I would expect nothing less. Dan Freeman has a way of making you feel like you're in the story, I felt like I was walking the halls with the crew.
I eagerly await the more.
