    Premiering Today -- COLLECTION FOUR of (UN)LIKEMINDED: A SCI-FI AUDIO ANTHOLOGY

    The latest season of (UN)LIKEMINDED: A SCI-FI AUDIO ANTHOLOGY premieres TODAY -- Wednesday, March 4th Collection Theme: "AMONG US": STORIES ABOUT ALIENS, SKINWALKERS & OTHER INVADERS About: (Un)Likeminded: A Sci-Fi Audio Anthology is a sci-fi short story podcast that brings together like-minded creatives to do what they love: tell stories. Each season of (Un)Likeminded is a collection of short stories centered around a shared theme. With only that theme in mind, the writers are tasked with creating a story in their own way, wherever their imagination takes them. With the help of talented actors bringing these stories to life, the series explores how a single theme can inspire wildly different characters, worlds, and ideas, and how even the most like-minded creatives can create vastly (un)alike stories. Tone: Our sci-fi anthology series lives at the intersection of grounded human drama and speculative, high‑concept storytelling. Episodes range from darkly funny to hauntingly tragic, always centering the emotional truth of the characters. If you love Love, Death & Robots or Black Mirror, you’re in the right place.
