Special guest Michael (he/him) joins friend Austin (he/them) in an adventure through New Zealand! Courtney (she/her) is also here, in the audience.

NOTE FROM YOUR PAL CALVIN: So just like the last one, the narrator track to this episode was lost, and so the audio quality isn't great. Will be much clearer going forward!

PERMADETH! 043: Space Patrol
YOU ARE A SPACE PILOT IN THE 23RD CENTURY.
Special returning guest Austin (he/they) comes to tackle Space Patrol again. Famously, their previous attempt resulted in being destroyed after but a single choice! Can The Worst Chooser become A Better Chooser, or even The Best Chooser? Ever?
Also joining us is Michael (he/him) and in the audience, Courtney (she/her)!
Read by Calvin (he/him)
NOTE FROM YOUR PAL CALVIN: Unfortunately, the narrator track was lost when my laptop died. So I only had the singular track to work with, which means Austin will probably sound great and the Narrator will sound like he's, well, on the other side of the table. Sorry! I did my best to salvage it, but it may be a bit not-great at times?

Customer Reviews
What An Amazing Concept!
The way this group uses audio as a creative outlet to show their love for these games just floored me. I actually teared up early on during the Final Fantasy IV series (Season One) - hearing this game done as a radio serial, while I was reminiscing the days way back when I first played it, just hit me in the heart full on: I miss those days so much, and they really did such a great job bringing the game to life. The writing, to narrate so much of the gameplay, was spot on and does SquareSoft proud.
I was so completely touched by the way in which these people here went about showing their mad love for these video games 😢... Irresistible! (and everybody’s voice acting was way better than it really had any right to be - many Drama podcasts aren’t as good.) Everyone involved deserves a standing ovation and gratitude 🙏.
This is actually great, you guys.
The hosts are new but the quality of this podcast is fantastic. I just started season 2 but I loved the many voices the two hosts were able to do (Great job, Calvin!) and I really adored the original music and sound effects from the game. It brought out a lot of memories of playing Final Fantasy myself. A few episodes into season 2 (Fallout), I'm impressed how they've gone from doing all the voices themselves to bringing in so many guest voice actors. This is clearly a lot of work; I'm hopefully this podcast can continue regular updates. (No pressure, Calvin and RPG Rabbit!) I've recommended this to my siblings and cousins and would definitely recommend you give it a try too!
Fallout
Great choice really enjoying this season! Keep up the great work! I love your work. I think you guys are doing a great job and Calvin is a great narrator! I really hope you guys do Fallout 2!
