I keep asking you guys to come back, and I guess I’ll never stop until you do. Ha. This is the best sci-fi anthology podcast I’ve found, and Chrysalis never fails to make me cry. Beautiful audio, beautiful acting, beautiful characters and every single story gives you something to ponder. Come back, please!!!
I am not sure if any podcast can be better than season 3: Chrysalis. Corey Hawkins knocks it out of the park. I admit that I’ve been watching the feed just in case they added to this one storyline. It’s the only story in my podcast collection that I’ve listened to multiple times.
This is a review of the third season chrysalis. I’m not really interested in short form anthology so I just started writing in at season three as suggested by the description. I have to say that the story was one of the most compelling science fiction tales I have encountered in a long time. It’s rare that something is so able to capture what humanity is especially when looking at it through the lens of a post apocalyptic disaster zone. I also very much enjoyed the play with form with large segments coming as first person narration in interspersed with duologues and trilogues That felt like they were pulled straight from a screenplay. If the first episode feels somewhat slow stay with it, because there’s a lot of world building that has to happen figuratively and literally. The voice talent is excellent and no one overstays their welcome or over performs their part. I really hope they produce more full season productions like this at Gunpowder & Sky. I will be anxiously following.
Probably my favorite sci-fy drama I’ve ever listened to and such a beautiful story, Also, it was so refreshing to not hear filler cuss words like most other sci-fy dramas!
Beautiful and super cool story writing. Except there’s lengthy ads at the beginning and the middle of every episode. Really ruins it. Can’t listen to while falling asleep because of this. I spent over a year using dust episodes for falling asleep. And then they made it so every 10 minutes of listening was a jarring ad. I would have much preferred a link to patreon where I could have donated to suppose them. Totally unusable now. Very sad. It’s a good podcast otherwise.
