Nolira is an agronomist tasked with establishing agriculture in a new solar system, but when she wakes up on a now- empty colony ship, the whole of her plan disappears. The ship has been set adrift, with numerous mission-critical problems requiring immediate attendance outside of her area of expertise. Nolira is aided by the ship’s malfunctioning AI, which acts as her confidant and companion during the fight for survival.

Have to say that I am a huge fan of Liberty and other similar podcasts like Theatre of Tomorrow and this podcast seems to have promise. The concept is solid and the sound effects are very good. The voice actress for the protagonist though not so good. It seems like she doesn’t know what accent she wants to have. She switches from British to Scottish and then throws in some random Chinese. It’s like she went to a buffet and couldn’t decide what she wanted to eat so she threw a bunch of random stuff on the plate and called it a night. I just finished season 3 and I’m honestly glad I stuck with it. Season 1 was hard to get through but seasons 2 and 3 were worth it.
The characters became more engaging and I eventually became invested in Nolira’s plight. I really hope they do another season.

Excellent character building. Excellent story telling. Excellent production. Excellent voice actors. One of the most in depth character development I’ve seen in a podcast.
JaneBerlinH · Jun 2022
I’m currently halfway through season two and I love it. It’s definitely deserving of 5 stars. Background effects are never louder than the foreground conversation, which is common with podcasts such as this one. I find myself constantly excited about the information we get about the leads past, which is given to us (the audience) in increments. I’m hooked! The storyline and characters are intoxicating! Just a note: often the characters will speak a different language and that can be a bit frustrating. Sometimes it’s explained what was said (in the form of an answer that repeats the question that was asked in the other language) but often it isn’t. So I’m left wondering what was just said. This is something that visual story telling (I.e. shows, movies) can get away with because subtitles can be inputted during those periods, but that is not something that can be done for podcasts. I appreciate that the characters native language is being used, I just wish it was clarified what was being said. It happens several times an episode and it’s sorta like not being included in an inside joke. I have no idea what’s going on and I’m left confused.

It was hard to get through the first couple episodes of season one but I’m glad I did. As I’m working my way through season 2 on my daily walk, I find myself walking further and further to listen to more. Amazing podcast!!
FinalMacGyver · Apr 2022
The premise is good and the performances excellent, but the main character constantly switches between English and what I assume is Chinese (about 25% of her dialogue) and there are no translations so you miss the context. Sometimes there are entire conversations that are not in English so it’s completely useless to listen to them - they just waste your time. If you are bilingual then you will enjoy it - if not, it is just confusing and annoying.
Luster99 · Feb 2022
I really liked the premise of this story but the first two episodes got so bogged down in details of an endless trip across the ship in and out of airless zones with the ship’s AI repeating the same phrases ad nauseum. I felt like I was getting maybe 10 minutes of actual story in a 39 minute episode. Felt like writers padding the story to stretch it out. Also the lead actress doesn’t help. She doesn’t have much nuance in her performance — and script doesn’t help. She’s basically forced to be at 11 the whole.
