“You’ll be quickly won over by the incredible writing, acting, and production of Our Fair City. But the greatest strengths of the show are its brilliantly-realized setting & lore, and its ability to braid tongue-in-cheek sci-fi tropes, humor, and kindness into the smartest social satire in podcasting. I mean: a climate disaster has created a totalitarian, capitalist regime where some citizens are considered sub-human and the biggest holiday is called Exclusion Day.
I know, right?
And they started this close to a decade ago.
I’ve listened to the entire arc of the series multiple times, and found new things to love about this excellent story each time. I’ve laughed and cried. You will, too. Incidentally, “government propaganda” is maybe the best in-world reason for audio files that I’ve ever heard. And this team is SO good at saying two opposing things at once.
Next week, OFC is finally, bittersweetly, satisfyingly coming to its well-earned conclusion. But that means you can binge nine years of story, beginning to end. And you should.
So venture into the tunnels, dear Policy. Do it FOR SCIENCE. You might find, in Hartlife, All The Life You’ll Ever Need (tm).
PS: Thank you, OFC Radio team. For everything.”
