“Solar has some of the highest production values for a fully dramatized audio podcasts that i’ve heard. great SFX, great acting (though, Helen Hunt’s character is not much more than a one-note tune…), music, editing, etc. all very, very polished. And, the conceit of the ship’s AI having a glitch that causes audio records to no be played in chronological order is an interesting way of explaining a non-linear method of storytelling.
Unfortunately, i’m now over 6 hours into the “story” of a space mission gone disastrous, which happens before we as listeners join in, and there aren’t even THEORIES by the characters about causes. The few tantalizing glimpses into what may or may not (hello, Schroedinger’s cat….) have happened are abortive and frustration-inducing. This story only keeps piling on the questions, without answering any so far.”
