ars PARADOXICA

Very good audio drama about time travel. Sally Grissom, a scientist from the twenty-first century accidentally invents time-travel and goes back to WWII. Of course, a secret government agency uses her "timepiece" for their own purposes, rewriting history until they get it right. In the beginning, the storytelling is very fast, and the time travel a bit confusing, but that, for me, was a nice change in comparison to other audio dramas. The very consistent if somewhat confusing timetraveling (but they admit it's confusing, those who time travel even get 'butterfly syndrome') makes the story very gripping. And the best thing is the number station codes at the end of every episode: I spent hours solving these puzzles and trying to figure out how they fit into the plot.

I really wished that we could have gotten a bit more diversity in terms of voice actors (at first I thought it was 1 guy and 1 woman speaking all characters, until there were different actors named in the credits for every character… much to my surprise). This confused me a lot and made it hard to follow the story, but that being said, I still like the setting, writing and soundscapes, and will continue listening for a while longer! Can't really beat a little time travel story ;)

I really liked the first couple of episodes. The last ones were a bit ... Weird. Not quite what I've been expecting. But I'm intrigued enough t keep listening. It'll be interesting to see where they are going with this. If you like time travel stories, you should definitely try this podcast out.
