Mars 2060: The Colony Files

The mystery was interesting, but I didn’t really care about it until the last two episodes. The reason I listened to this podcast was the realistic thoughts of life on Mars. I learned a lot. I wish the show had more been longer and focused on more of the daily life. Still, I really enjoyed this production.

It took 8 episodes to basically say nothing!!! I liked the discussions about life on Mars but I thought that everything would build up to something. It’s like it needed more, it ended at the most exciting and interesting moment. What a let down! Listener be warned.

I really wanted to like this. Instead, it was like listening to a couple hours of NPR interviews. The “voice acting”, apart from a few vague accents was nonexistent. The story line never really became engaging and the climax (“the disaster”) was entirely predictable as the same storyline has been used in a number of other Sci-Fi stories. After investing some time in the first few episodes I persevered to the end in hopes things would improve. To save others the effort, know they do not.

Absolutely fantastic- a must listen.
