New favorite

Amazing story and storytelling. The flow of information is perfect and intriguing. Makes you think and also isn’t immediately predictable. I’d love more of this or like it.

Great story!

I really love the story here, it’s very engaging to be finding things out along with the main character. The sci-fi/tech elements are woven into the normal experience of this person in the future in a very believable and compelling way and her stream of consciousness way of talking is actually very relatable. I can’t wait to finish this and move on to another Hanging Sloth show!

Internalized misogyny

They use the phrase “pregnant people” and have a (very obvious) woman voicing a male character. As a gender critical person I just can’t listen anymore. It was great before I realized it was made by a self hating woman.
