Short sweet and daily (including weekends)

The best part of my morning is listening to this show. It hits the Mark every day and I couldn’t imagine living without it

It’s like a window into an alternate reality. I am so immersed in the characters and the world when I listen. I can almost feel this world where the zombie apocalypse has happened and the survivors must try to pick of the threads of society and make something new in a new world. They do a good job of capturing the good and the bad without turning it into an unrealistic soap opera.

This podcast does the difficult job of being genuinely hopeful without sounding like an after school special. These characters feel real, warts and all. You grow to love and care for all of them because you are listening to them grow and learn and love in real time.

I love that this podcast gives me short, daily stories to follow with great actors, plot lines, and dialogue. Not a huge deal if you miss a day, and short enough that I can listen to it driving around the neighborhood. Uplifting, fun, and entertaining!

This witty, epic, and heartfelt audiodrama is absolutely incredible. Set in a rustic, post-zombie apocalyptic Earth, Mercury paints a picture that is anything but bleak. The drama’s trio of heroes persevere through the logistical and emotional roller coaster of a world starting over, surviving against all odds to lead the remaining population of humanity into a future of hope. Each episode weaves comedy, inspiration, stories of love and survival, and the threat of the undead with the satisfying mechanical tricks of surviving in a world without infrastructure. The podcast paints such a vivid image of the wild world of Mercury that I see it in my mind every time I hit play. Laugh, cry, and face hordes of zombies with science, philosophy, humor, everlasting friendship, and the courageous cast of Mercury: A Broadcast of Hope.

All you need to know to listen is that the zombie apololypse has happened and a small college radio station broadcasts for a few minutes each day to give news and hope to their listeners. Missing an episode here or there (or the first few hundred) won't take away from the experience.

Really cool daily podcast- the broadcasters embark on a journey to discover what is happening outside of their station after being cut off from civilization. Their quest: to impart hope to anyone who might hear their message. A refreshing podcast that won’t leave you feeling mentally drained but rather laughing along with the narrators as they describe the day-to-day inside and outside the studio and what may lie beyond. Is anyone listening?!

This show is more of a mildly funny historical educational thing then it is an audio drama. It has some stuff thrown in here and there but after listing to the first two hundred shows I’m still waiting for a zombie storyline or any story line.

This broadcast of hope is simply awesome! I love the story line and showcases the true essence of hope that can only be found in the hearts of each of us working together for the greater good.

I love this show, so much so that I went out and subscribed to their Patreon in order to get access to their back catalog. The episodes are just the perfect length for a quick little daily fix and the idea of the expiring episodes fits with the subject matter in my opinion. I love that in-spite of being set in the zombie apocalypse that the characters always hold up ideas of hope.

This podcast is something we need right now, with all these things that can leave us feeling hopeless, we need something that simply gives hope and tells us to take care of each other. I just love that in each episode they try to find that little bit of hope, by either giving information on how to survive, or by simply telling a story to pass the time. Also there is an episode every day!

This is the first podcast I listen to each morning, usually while making coffee for my wife. As a general rule, I don't listen or watch or read anything about zombies. But this isn't really about Zombies - it is about helping one another deal with a changing world - which exactly what is needed right now.

Considering the state of the universe and how it feels like we're hurtling full throattle towards a hellfire burning dystopia and/or that we are already in it, this podcast promises a daily dose of hope or feel-good things (or, omg, cookie recipes??). I love listening to this podcast for less than 8 minutes every morning when I wake up. Some people may complain that the writing/acting is hard to get into but there is very *clear* progress in the past several episodes they've had, and of course they are pretending to be radio show hosts and I think they actually do that admirably. Also they've made me actually cry before so. You know. Take care of each other. <3

i love how the episodes are relatively short, but also the dynamic of the characters and their interactions with each other really breathe life into the episodes :) would really recommend to anyone who likes post-apocalyptic things and how media survives in the aftermath !

In a sea of cynical and nihilistic zombie stories, this audio drama stands as a beacon much like the light house in the story. The concept of daily short episodes (5-8 minutes) seemed odd to me at first, but it’s shortness is what makes it so impactful. No time for a lot of the fluff and such that most audio drama’s are plagued with. It’s an unconventional story telling element that works incredibly well and makes this show decidedly human and relatable to me. I find myself tearing up and outright crying more often than not because of the connection I feel with the characters. I can’t say that about many other audio drama’s I listen to.

I loved the episode's message to take care of each other delivered within the story line in an earnest, but entertaining way. The message is so true just a week after the LV shooting. It was also neat to get the history of mercury use and its affects. Looking forward to a daily dose of Mercury mixed with hope!
