Hephaestus has been my second home for the past few months and I really want to invite you in guys.
I've never been much of a podcast listener - truth be told I was super skeptical at first. When I noticed that I started spending way too much time looking through window when commuting (and 6 in the morning is not the best time to read a book) I looked into this whole podcast thing. Since then I listened to plenty of more popular ones and by sheer luck I stumbled upon Wolf 359.
And boy, was my mind completely blown.
Everything starts simple enough. You have a crew of four distinct characters (one of which is ship's AI) and you witness how they face their ridiculous problems - whether it's fight for the last tube of toothpaste or how they deal with plant monster, created by crazy scientist. It's well written, memorable and extremely funny.
After ~10 episodes, when you get to know everyone, the real story kicks in.
It's madness.
I don't want to spoil it, because one of the main pleasures of Wolf 359 is exploration of unknown, but the story does not pull any punches and if you think "no way they'll go there" - yes, they will, and you are going to cry.
If you like any of the following:
-Star Trek
-Moon
-LOST (now with all mysteries solved!)
-H.P. Lovecraft
-Arrival
-classical music
-Arrested Development
-The Expanse
-unexpected character development
-twists, turns and whatthefuckery
-outstanding production values
please, give it a try. I hope you will love it as much as I do.
I'm not keen on recommending something that's yet to be finished, but with imminent finale and current state of things, there is no way this will turn out badly.
What are you waiting for? Hop in and join me on this last, crazy ride: http://www.wolf359.fm/
