What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

This podcast made me fall in love with so many characters, then proceeded to make me feel so many big feelings along with them. Gorgeous.

Autumn the Nerdfighter · Apr 2025

I love this podcast to death, if only out of sheer nostalgia. This show is a blast from the past. It so well encapsulates the mid 2010s; it feels like I dug a time capsule from the bows of 2016 tumblr. It has a genuinely intriguing plot and the acting is phenomenal but I sometimes question certain one off writing decisions. A good portion of the jokes land but there are some that just don’t read the same today. At some point a character says, “Accio best friends in the world!” and I think a little part of me died. The big picture of the plot is amazing and totally makes up for certain questionable writing decisions

This podcast is for people who like immersive, well written “light” SF. The voice acting is superb. The storyline is presented in such a way to invite the listener to deduce bit by bit what is going on. It’s one to savor, not to rush through. The are many layers to enjoy.

I’m on season 4 and absolutely hooked. Well acted, well written, and chock-full of really complex and interesting characters and big mental health topics that are handled really well.
