Wolf 359
Life's not easy for Doug Eiffel, the communications officer for the U.S.S. Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds. Even the simplest of tasks can turn into a gargantuan struggle, and the most ordinary-seeming things have a way of turning into anything but that. Wolf 359 is a radio drama in the tradition of Golden Age of Radio shows. Take one part space-faring adventure, add one part character drama, and mix in one part absurdist sitcom, and you get Wolf 359.
Great Dramedy

This is a great podcast. I think it’s a lot better before the other characters come in and before it started focusing on singular stuff instead of random stuff every episode. I also think the VA for Kepler is bad for that role. Doesn’t come across as an authority at all.
One of the best!

This is my favorite podcast ever. I have yet to find another scripted fiction podcast I’ve been able to get attached to like this one. I listened to it over a year ago and I still feel emotions towards the characters. I’m ready for my second listen through 🤙🏼
I should’ve hated it, binged it in a week instead

The writing has a couple of same-voice repetitive issues that a solid editor should’ve noticed. Take a shot every time a character blurts something emotional, pauses to breathe, and goes “look….” And sums up the situation in a snarky fashion- and you’ll have destroyed your liver by the end. But I did really like the action adventure intrigue elements- especially as someone who doesn’t like action adventure or most of the character archetypes. This was not made to my tastes whatsoever and I still really enjoyed it and consider it my favorite scifi podcast to date. And Hera is one of my favorite uses of an AI character point blank period. Solid character writing, left me wanting more in a good way.
