Hi friends, this is Harley Takagi Kainer, wishing you a happy new year, and I also wanted to let you know about an immersive sci-fi podcast called Darylict.

The story begins with its first season, Fathom, in which an ancient artifact resembling a giant door has been found at the bottom of Earth's ocean.

To study it, the galaxy's most powerful corporation

has built a massive secret research base surrounding it. Their objective, unlock the secrets of

the artifact and discover what it holds inside. But some mysteries should remain buried, and some doors

should never be open. The second season picks up several years after the events of

the first season, this time continuing the story in the depths of space. The series is a very

immersive movie-like audio experience that has been influenced by things such as aliens, HP Lovecraft,

and 2001 A Space Odyssey. Boy, when I was a kid, I really love to tell everyone that my favorite

movie was 2001 A Space Odyssey. And I did, I did like it, but I think it was just more about me

being pretentious. Great movie, though. Derelict has received thousands of five-star reviews and

millions of downloads, and the full first and second seasons are out now and available to listen to.

You can find Derelict on any of your favorite podcast platforms by visiting derelictpodcast.com

or by clicking the link in the episode notes below.

Now, please enjoy the very first episode from Season 1.

They say that in the dark, the eyes begin to see.

And in the silence, we begin to listen.

Believe me, nowhere is it darker or quieter than in this place, the bottom of the ocean,

19,000 feet down.

It's why I came here after all, isn't it?

Why I buried myself, the furthest away I could possibly get.

But loss is an insidious thing.
