The Second Oil Age

This podcast was right up my alley. I love the efficient dialogue and the dark steely vibe, the ambient supportive sound design was just enough to fill in necessary gaps in the narrative and not overdone. The narrator was superb…reminded me of Aeon Flux The writing is tight and eloquent with an ending befitting the spirit of the story. My only gripe was was the faux ads. As entertaining as they were, they detracted from the gravity of the storyline. Overall, well done.

I found it really interesting and was enjoying the Sci-Fi aspects, but a single season just whet my appetite.

More more more please

They combine in-show, fictional ads with irl ads. This is so obnoxious. I understand the need for ads if you’re not paying for a sub. But when you go from a brooding, monotone narrator into an ad screaming about a new ABC show or ring cameras, separated by fictional ads for “krab steaks,” or “temporary graphene skin alteration,” it just makes it too difficult to listen to. More so when the same ad plays multiple times in one show 🤮
