    Good quality podcast.
    So far, a pretty steady sci-fi podcast. Great to listen to while drawing or painting! Many thanks!

    Imaginative and fun
    My favorite Sci-Fi podcast. Fun, imaginative and devoid of all of the sex and filthy language that is ruining the genre elsewhere. I wish the episodes came more than monthly. Stories and narration are excellent.

    Excellent
    For a bunch of people that live in the USA’s hat, you do a really good podcast. This podcast could loosely be categorized as sci-fi, and most stories would fit that broad description. Most of the shows are stand-alone, yet some contain characters that exist from show to show. As a Canadian podcast, it is very well produced and pretty sanitized of overtly graphic sexuality, crass, foul language and the amount of gore in the stories. It’s an interesting podcast and definitely worth a listen for anyone interested in futurism, AI and the like. I hope you enjoy this show as much as I do!

    Great All Around Listening
    This is a great podcast, and there’s a genius at work within it. I listen to just about every story generated Sci Fi podcast on the net, and there are many good ones, but this one is consistently great, while others are hit and miss. Let me repeat...real genius. Not every story is perfect, but the main writer has honed his craft so that it feels like listening to gold. Within this vast array of stories, just about the entire human experience and alien too, I suppose, is touched upon. I started here in May, 2018; I listen because the stories make me feel something, they open my mind and excite my Sci Fi cravings. Although the stories are independent of each other, there is a connecting theme running through a lot of them. Many of the same characters, their world’s and timelines pop up throughout the catalogue. What more can I say? I love this podcast. It’s appropriate for most ages; It’s... Not too violent or graphically violent Not weirdly morbid; it doesn’t dump negativity into one’s mind Not too gross, Very Interesting, lots of great plots. Quite often Educational and always thought provoking. Fun More fun And fun again

    Really well done overall
    They can vary in length and quality, BUT if you are looking for a story podcast that will consistently treat you right and not disappoint, this is it. I LOVE the feeling behind this podcast. It is utterly FREE of the ironic snarkiness that seems to be de rigur in all the others.

    I Can't Believe I have Never Rated Before, 5 Stars
    This podcast is't easy to put into a specific genre though it tends toward Sci-Fi which is great by me. I have listened for years and I can say that they have good stories that are engaging and silghtly different from other genre podcasts. Listen, you won't be sorry, I honestly can't believe I hadn't reviewed before, sorry.

    Great for the whole family
    Who said a G rated podcast can’t be any good? The stories told here are thought provoking, fun, and clean. You have my highest recommendation. Thank you and keep up the good work.
  • Uncle Snort
    A slightly gentler, but equally insighful Twilight Zone.
    Very enjoyable, and thought provoking stories. I think Rod Serling would be impressed.
  • Chuck Noble
    Excellent stories
    I discovered this podcast randomly, years ago. I continue to come back and listen. The stories are pretty consistently interesting and well composed, and well read. It is one of the better podcasts available for short fiction.

    Fun and interesting
    This package of stories brings you around the universe and back. While it is often strange and has it's moments of over the topness. All and all the stories are fun and entertaining. I enjoy being brought out of my world into theirs for any where from 10-30 mins. Not amazing but good enough!
  • TerrorXNova
    Great Podcast!
    A highly immersive universe that covers all ranges of topics; from inteligent life on other planets to where your other socks goes when it dissappears in the wash. A mix of science fiction and modern fables, this podcast is one of my all time favorites!

    Hit and miss
    After randomly picking a few stories here to listen to, they vary greatly in length and quality. Some are sub- 10 minutes, while others are over 30. Some are pretty straightforward and fairly interesting, others are confusing and don't really seem to "go anywhere". Tough to make a call, stories go between 2 and 4 stars so I'll go 3. It's read by a computer, but the TTS program used here is loads better than the typical freebie compu-voice heard in some other podcasts. At first it could pass for a real human, but listen a while and you'll hear some words that aren't said quite right, or odd pacing in a sentence that gives it away.
