Hello, Eleanor here, and I am here to talk about the wonderful new fiction podcast 2000 and late.

0:07.8

2000 and late is a new fiction podcast from the creator of The Bright Sessions.

0:12.5

It is a dark comedy that grapples with the havoc of our current moment and tries to find the hope inside of it.

whose life is upended when she's possessed by a demon hell-bent on bringing about the apocalypse.
