• 505: Experience

    Robert, Beatrice and the Captain use the pod system to delve into one another’s stored memories; meanwhile, Barty discovers himself.

Stranded on a hostile planet, a crew of barely-competent explorers try their best to survive despite themselves.

An improvised dark comedy sci-fi podcast.
