    RQ Network Feed Drop - The Program audio series: Create Read Update Delete

    This month we are featuring a feed drop of one of many exciting podcasts on the RQ Network: The Program audio series. 
     
    The Program is a dark science fiction anthology set in a future in which Money, State, and God have become fused into a single entity. The show focuses on ordinary people inhabiting this extraordinary world. And for them, it is not this future that is terrifying – it is our present. This episode of The Program audio series is called Create Read Update Delete and is narrated by Zach Valenti. It follows a man who discovers a parallel simulation to his own and ends up involved with the ultimate A/B test. You can find the episode transcript at https://programaudioseries.com/17-create-retrieve-update-delete/. 
     
    The Program audio series is created and produced by IMS. Introduction and outro by Anusia Battersby. Listen to The Program on the Rusty Quill website, on Acast, on its official website, or wherever you get your podcasts.

FailureWithEightO’s ,

Not supposed to listen

I’m technically not supposed to listen to this podcast but it’s to good
The guy with the lisp in the episode 80.3 sounds like kahmunra from night at the museum

purpledolphinassault ,

Content is good, when I can hear it

I love the show, when it’s listenable, the ads and credits are always extremely loud and clear but about a third of the actual show is filtered for atmosphere so even when my volume is at max I can only hear every third or fourth word because it’s supposed to be overheard through someone’s pocket or something, I tried listening along with the transcript feature but it can’t hear any of it either and there is usually minutes of dialogue where it just shows the three dots as if it can only hear music. The actual content is still good and great for binging though, even with new writers and mostly new actors

Alliespn ,

Love this show!

Really hate Alice. So mean 😢
