“This show used to be incredible to the point where I would experience intense emotion listening to each story. But lately, my god. It feels like a SJW sermon each time they drop a new part. Yes, the Program is social commentary. I get that. But lately it feels the producers aren’t even trying to...”Read full review »

“5-stars ++
Entertaining, thought provoking, well produced tales of society, technology, and futurism through a lens reminiscent of Jean Baudrillard.
The future is refreshing, inspired, while being timely. It provides a narrative of social possibilities that are sorely missed in modern...”Read full review »

“The concept of money laid out in the show has wormed its way deep into my brain. The NIMBY episode just pops up multiple times a week. The whole show is clever, insightful and just a bit spooky sometimes, I love it”

“The very random schedule that they come out on really sucks. I thoroughly enjoyed listening to it but knowing it’s gunna be months for the next episode? That’s tough to keep me hooked.”

“Probably the most eye-opening and entertaining audio series out there. Educational, funny, scary, touching, it's all there. If you want to take part in a thought experiment about AI, capitalism, our society and being human in general, give it a listen. Can recommend it 100%.”Read full review »

“I’ve never been much into podcasts, as I could never find one that kept my attention. That all changed during a recent road trip, when I stared listening to The Program, and was instantly hooked!
During the trip, I had been listening to the Program on Spotify. As soon as I got home I dug...”Read full review »

“Truly one of the best audio-dramas I’ve ever heard. Wise, philosophical, witty, and covering a wide array of genres this piece of speculative fiction gives us a good look at where we’re going but a clear and concise lesson on how we can change that.
So glad I gave this one a listen. The Program...”Read full review »

However, it seems the creators/writers have run out of ideas and have abandoned...”Read full review »

“This show was incredible at the very start, now it is a bunch of jumbled up woke crap. Non-linear is fine if done right, but story lines are not explained well and the world/lore building is lazy or non existent. Don’t waste your time.”

“This would only be self fulfilling if idiots were the majority. Fortunately that is not true. This is as pure fiction as you can get. Propaganda-ish and it’s amazing how people will dream of this. Well written but seems to be done to encourage people to think this is what lies ahead. Falls flat.”
