Ignore the bad reviews

They’re all from people who think that telling black stories is “reverse racist” What a joke
Fantastic

Love the diversity of genres and that the themes aren’t too bleak. Can’t wait for more!
Hyper focused on inputting racial issues.

Huge fan of network. Tried to give this show a fair shake. It’s a bit difficult to listen to the divide among characters strictly based on race, directly from the beginning. I proceeded through that, and then the political ads started. I’ll remain a fan of network; however this show just isn’t for me.
Realism in SciFi
12/10/2020
Wonderfully cast characters living in the future in realistic seeming ways stitch together this SciFi anthology. Some production interruption due to the 2020 Pandemic, but there’s already enough here to spend a very nice day listening.
Over the top.

Too much complaining that everything is racist. No, white people don’t plan the future of the universe and go “we sure are doing great, even that one black guy over there”. There are zero podcasts based on “whitefuturism”.
The effects... sublime

The subtlety of the background effects really made the story super full! I’ve only checked out They Ate the Sun so far but i’m excited to come back for more
!!!EXCELLENT!!!

I didn’t have a choice; I had to give this five stars. Each story is fantastic. This is a great podcast; I can only encourage others to give it a try.
Excellent Smart Science Fiction

If you were a fan of The Outer Limits, don’t miss this podcast. Fully produced, stand alone, smart science fiction short stories, which can be listened to in any order. Eagerly waiting for more!
Solid

I love every story. Each one creating a fully formed world in a short amount of time. I need more Afrocentric sci-fi in my life!
Science fiction with African and black characters

Everything I’ve wanted and everything I didn’t know I needed. Amazing work
