In 2057, the international space exploration conglomerate MECTI (Mars Exploration, Colonization and Terraformation Initiative) sends the first two manned missions to Mars, in an attempt to not only land the crew safely on the surface, but to have this small collection of humans establish the first permanent foothold on another planet.



Transmissions From Colony One tells the story of these first humans, who volunteered for a one-way trip to Mars, and constantly struggle with their decision to give up everything about their past lives for a harsh existence in the most unforgiving environment imaginable.

Blew my mind

I started listening to this show a few years back and did not expect to hear a new season after a long hiatus. I appreciated the maker created recaps to give me some refreshers. Honestly the show blew my mind - the scope, the cast and the storyline are all outstanding. Highly recommend!

Love, love, love

This story is great and keeps me engaged. I really appreciate that new episodes are coming out because the long breaks make it really hard to remember. That’s my only negative for this podcast.

Me x 7 ,

High school-ish

This is decently acted and sounding. But dialogue and story is juvenile and overly emotional. There is no way I can imagine these are scientists that are on Mars. Story elements one of the couples is arguing “you never loved me” and replying “c’mon get back in the rover”. My goodness the premise is ok but the story around it is absolutely not believable bordering on laughable.
