You posses none of the necessary leadership skills... You would kill us all😂
This has been in my subscribed box for a longtime, glad I finally got round too it. Enjoying it so far.
will they make more episodes? hate to say it but most of the best podcasts come from the uk
Very impressive with great sound quality acting. looking forward to hearing the series and can only hope more episodes are to come in the future. Highly recommended!
Yes come back!!!
come back need more!!!
An amazing AF podcast, looking forward to the next season.
idk. I'm kinda happy he managed to recommend other similar casts. I listened to we're alive, way back and it was great. gonna check out the rest now.
Content warning - this episode has the most graphic death scene I’ve experienced in audio drama. So well made, so hard to listen to.
Phenomenal job nerds. Thank you so much for doing what you do.
If Tennessee Williams had ever seen fit to write about a group of misfits who crashed their space craft on a hostile alien planet, it would probably have been an awful lot like "The Orphans." With a tight script, exciting plot, terrific cast, wonderful sound effects, and beautiful musical score, this podcast epitomizes that magic that can only be created when a group of dedicated people truly love the story they are telling. This tale twists and turns in so many unexpected directions, always testing and redefining the characters, and yet never straying from it's chilling and dark main theme. A taught space age thriller at its very best, there is only one thing in this epic saga of futuristic double-crosses that is certain: if you're looking for a good story, "The Orphans" will never disappoint!
On episode 3 and this podcast is a GEM so far. I LOVE it so far and an surprised its not even more popular!
An interesting exploration into a new world that wants to kill them, and many other mystery's they find, including a Dome. Added on top is the Social building of the characters, as they discover they only have knowledge from the 5 minute warning before cashing on the planet. You listen how they discover their roles.
where is episode VII of Investigation?
love this! Geoffrey is my favourite podcast character ever!
love love loved
Gripping!!
Just finished the first episode and so far, I love it! I've been searching for a good story to listen to.
I called it what it is. It's a really good podcast, just not original.
Huge knock off from Uninhabited Planet Survive and We're Alive.
