    3 years of CoB Q+A!

    3 years of CoB Q+A!

    3 years! that's a lot of years! This time around we have a special minisode of Adam in a very mundane situation, its kind of an experiment but I quite like how it turned out.
    Following that we have a Q+A with Lee Tomanelli which is wild and fun and I think it's good.
    Thank you so much for listening to CoB and joining me on the journey of making season 1, I really can't thank you enough.

A love letter to sound

Chain of Being is an exceptionally listenable journey into another world. And unlike other shows that promise to drag you into another world, Chain of Being's sci-fi setting feels truly alien. The way the prose unfolds feels like reading Left Hand of Darkness for the first time, where you're compelled to understand the lens of the character speaking to you. On top of that, the shorter running time allows for exceptionally tight post production with crisp sound (especially with the first episodes remastered). This audio drama is well worth the listening time

Interesting

It’s an interesting take on the sci-fi genre with serious overtones of religious themes and a bit of horror mixed into.
It’s a unique show and I’ve so far enjoyed it immensely
