“I love this podcast to death, if only out of sheer nostalgia. This show is a blast from the past. It so well encapsulates the mid 2010s; it feels like I dug a time capsule from the bows of 2016 tumblr. It has a genuinely intriguing plot and the acting is phenomenal but I sometimes question...”Read full review »

“This podcast is for people who like immersive, well written “light” SF. The voice acting is superb. The storyline is presented in such a way to invite the listener to deduce bit by bit what is going on. It’s one to savor, not to rush through. The are many layers to enjoy.”

“My partner and I enjoy this show so much, we always listen on long trips…only one downside… if you’re listening to it in the car, it’s not high/low balanced. People will talk so softly you have to crank up the volume to understand them (Frank especially or sad moments) and then someone will speak...”Read full review »

“Love this podcast. I hope future spinoffs occur. I’d really like to learn more about The Order, and people like Sadie. The world Lauren Shippen has made is compelling and will draw listeners in. I’m sad that it’s finished but glad to know there’s books so will try to get my hands on them.”

When I tell you I was yelling at Damien during the Mark episode (s4 e8 or e9?). He said your words matter. Apologize and SHOW that you are truly sorry. I mean what? “After...”Read full review »

“I really love this show and the characters but…
I think there’s something wrong with the episode sort. There’s random episodes anywhere and the show is missing a lot of them. I went from session one with Chloe and Sam to session nine with Caleb and it’s rlly confusing”

The dialogue of the adults vs the young adults became identical lowering the plot down to the lowest common denominator of drama. I...”Read full review »
