Please come back
I am a long time listener of this and myths and legands. I wish you guys would focus more on this one, it was so good!
My favorite podcast of all time
Didn’t think anything could beat Myths & Legends...until Fictional came out. There, I said it. Seriously, Fictional is the greatest podcast ever created. Every story is solid but I especially love the sci-fi!!! More sci-fi please!!! Also, Jason has good gender politics. So many stories out there use misogynistic tropes but he makes these moments bearable by reading agency, intelligence, and complex motivations into the women characters, even when the original authors basically treat their women characters as pieces of meat or plot points for male character development. PLEASE COME BACK OR I WILL DIE WITHOUT THIS PODCAST
Come Back Please
This is truly one of the greatest podcasts out there. I have loved these episodes. Not only are they entertaining but they even helped with school work when I had to read some of these books. I really can not recommend this podcast enough. Just a suggestion. Could you do an episode on crime and punishment or do one of the Jane Austen novels. Do you have an idea when you will be able to produce more episodes?
