Trailer: The Midnight Rebellion

When Joule steps into her mom’s mysterious machine, she’s thrown into a strange and polluted city of tides. The sea has risen, turning streets into rivers. The air is thick and smelly. The sun feels like hot iron. And the place crawls with energy-hungry robots that shoot lightning. It’s not great! But who said danger can’t be fun? To find her way home, Joule must be brave and smart, she’ll need friends, and she’ll need you. That’s right. YOU! The person reading this right now! Every chapter ends with a choice, and your choices shape the story. 26 episodes. 82 possible paths. You can save Joule. You might even save the world. The clock’s ticking. What will you do? Part 1 launches on Earth Day, April 22. Follow The Midnight Rebellion in your podcast app now to get notified when episodes drop.

I HAVE SO MUCH LOVE TO GIVE FOR THIS PODCAST!!! AT FIRST I WAS ALL LIKE: oh this is such a great podcast what fun stories meh meh meh… BUT THEN I REALIZED IT WAS ABOUT SOMETHING THAT COULD LIKE ACTUALLY HAPPEN (probably not where I live though cuz I’m in Kansas sooo…yeah) BUT I STILL WANT TO HELP PREVENT IT!!! I mean I’m not the only person on earth there’s probably people living near an ocean that might end up like that and I don’t want them too I do know that this is a fictional story and it might not happen, BUT IT COULD!!! OK well that was what I had to say to the people that made this podcast now this is what I have to say for the people who want to listen to the podcast, but I reading the reviews and yes I do know this is super long sorry BUT I JUST HAVE SO MUCH TOO SAY!!!😆 whoever wants to listen to this podcast you totally should it’s appropriate for kids and teenagers would and it’s so fun to listen to you get to make your own choices and stuff and it’s just so GOOD it does take a while for them to make the episodes though, but that’s the only bad thing about it no other bad things. Everything else is good, so yeah, just listen to it!!! God bless you guys😇 PS. Tell your pet I said hi, please😁🧡💛 Update to my review: I just listened to the finale it was SO GOOD I loved it so much like I can’t even explain it and also I just don’t wanna give it away and spoilers for those who haven’t listened to the finale, but is it a season finale or a finale finale like no more podcast cause if it means no more podcast, I will be real sad😭 but if it’s just a season finale, that’s cool if it’s a season finale, I can’t wait to listen to more and also if you don’t know what to do with the next season if that was just a season finale, you could have all the characters exploring the world before their time like joule just showing them everything and them helping prevent climate change but still I would totally give this podcast 10,000 out of 10
