I want all the episodes now!

Love it so far

Buckls ,

Great podcast

Great audio, great pacing, an intriguing mystery, an enticing world, and lovable characters (except the captain, he’s a great character but not in the lovable way). Can’t wait to hear more!

Anne Onimous II ,

Great sci fi premise and framing device!

This sci fi space podcast has a great framing device where survivors of an exploded starship are stuck in different escape pods and can only communicate via radio. They must discover who caused the explosion.

Fun characters. Great premise. Loving this story!
