Mina's Story

I really like this use of the medium ... miniseries ... and since it’s microfiction I really appreciate the super episode at the end so you can get it all in one bite. A lot of microfiction can be deliberately vague and depressing, but this is nicely clear, with excellent selection of details and an optimistic attitude.

While not a long show (you can easily listen to the whole thing in a sitting), this has a lovely arc and it's very well done. It's a single, focused story about a woman who decides to have herself cryogenenically frozen. While you certainly could develop this into a longer series, I found the brevity compelling. It's a glimpse into the critical bits of the story, just enough to follow along and feel like you understand the main character. It's a short story in audio format. With so much science fiction audio drama being overwhelmingly dark, dystopian, and brooding, this show is a bright, hopeful light. The acting, writing, and sound design are all well done. Everything is kept to a manageable scope that really dials in on the character. Take a half an hour and listen for yourself. It's lovely!

A really cool concept! Not at al what I expected and I loved the surprise.

Overall terrific message, considerately played out. The ending felt a bit rushed, and the two characters lacked chemistry for me (that also felt rushed - a slightly more in depth development might have helped). Otherwise, I really advocate this. Give it a listen.
