Science Fiction at its most exquisite. A tale of searing beauty, and the words spoken at the end ... a perfect coda for this very moving story. (This is the second Michael Carabott work I've experienced. I am now a devotee)
Excellent story. Excellent was the telling.
Ohh yes! Perfect wrap-up. What a tour-de-force podcast. I'm humbled by the storytelling. High praise for everyone involved in its production.
Proof of the power of words. Pictures, be they moving or still, not required.
What I love about this episode is the rich monologue of Terran/AI, wrestling with the human dilemma of war and peace.
Love this production! The story is unique.
Well, that was decidedly lame. A pity, as this podcast hasn't been too bad up to now.
been almost 3 years, what's good? need more like this. asap
will there be a season 4
I have had this podcast in my library for awhile and I am really looking forward to listening after reading all of the great reviews. That being said, I want to make sure I listen in the most logical order. Am I understanding correctly that, essentially, I listen backwards? 3, 2, then 1? Thanks in advance!!
When is Season 4 coming? I'm serious about lending my talent and services to contributing.
loved this episode
OUTSTANDING! Hands down best podcast ever. I can't wait for new episodes!
God, this was so good
Some People do not understand short stories. it has a beginning middle and end. does not to explain everything. Mystery is good. good storie. entertaining. Good artist reading it.
I really enjoyed this episode and I'm looking forward to the upcoming season.
Chrysalis was one of the best, most captivating stories I've listened to.
Finally. I think the podcast takes least priority to the videos
Really brilliant. Reminds me of Dune and Mass Effect story lines. love it
love this thank you
