I was searching high and low for a new sci-fi-ish fiction podcast, and boy, does Waymon deliver! Even though it seems like it’s pretty much a one-man show (with help from family!), The Liminal Lands is well acted, well produced, with good (and not overdone; thank you!) sound effects and excellent writing. The “same place/different world” setting is eerie, unsettling, and comes off as believable, largely because of SoCo’s down-to-earth storytelling and detailing how he uses bits of remembered info to survive. There are echoes of a number of Hero’s Journey tales (Odysseus is openly referenced), which could come off as derivative or strained - but Waymon makes it work, largely because of his winks and nods at the other stories. It’s an enjoyable, well written, well done show. Hopefully it gets lots of support so that the journey can continue.
I love this show. It provides much-needed respites from the current reality I am struggling to understand and endure. Underlying the challenges of existing in the Liminal Lands, there’s a sweetness that comes through, an emphasis on family, and a protagonist who reminds of the power of humanity. I wish I could make a financial contribution to keep the lights on but that’s not in the cards right now. So all I can do is spread the word. And it’s a word deserving of being shared. Again, thank you.
I found this podcast through a feedswap with Desert Skies. I wasn’t sure at first if the “found recording” format was going to appeal to me but I ended up pleasantly surprised and drawn in by the conversational tone of SoCo, our narrator. If you have read any Stephen King you will be able to feel the influences from The Dark Tower and The Stand. But Waymon does a good job at building his own strange world, and not leaning too heavily on any one mythos or body of work. I feel like this style of narrative would be great for anyone driving on a solo road trip or for someone in a lonesome situation. While SoCo relies on his tape recorder and hypothetical future listeners for company, we get to enjoy his company in return. And to Waymon directly - I started listening to the show a few days ago and have almost caught up. This is the first time I have taken the time to rate and review a podcast. Way to go man, great work!
This was recommended on another podcast I listen to so I thought I’d give it a try and I am glad I did. SoCo’s narration is interesting and keep the listener engaged, and the other characters are interspersed just at the right times in the right amounts of airtime. I can’t wait to find out what happens!
