Summary

Our team has a new show! Michael Turrentine (Wes) and Gabriel Urbina (Wolf 359, Unseen, Zero Hours) chat about the new show. And then you’ll hear the full first episode. The first three episodes of THE HARBINGERS are out now. You can find it wherever you are listening to this! THE HARBINGERS Adam Blackwell and Amy Stirling met as graduate students in anthropology, both obsessed with studying the same dead language and long-lost culture. Their relationship was always... complicated. They were bitter rivals, ideological opposites, and even went out on a date once - though they’d really prefer if everyone forgot about that last thing, thank you very much. Then, they became the first two people in thousands of years capable of doing magic. Over the next five years, they became global superstars, both revered and feared. Their powers led to a tragedy unlike any the world had seen before. Now, the world's first two magicians of the modern age must figure out the truth of their power, its consequences, and their relationship with one another before they do more damage to the world.

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.

0:19.6

The show follows Harper, a 36-year-old nihilist,

0:22.7

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

0:29.5

But Harper doesn't want to end the world, and the demon gives her more power than she's ever had

0:34.3

in a very long time. So, yeah, I'm loving this show. It's sharp and funny,

0:41.2

and it's a cathartic release from the anger and impotence I often feel about the dumpster fire

0:47.1

of a world. We are all living in these days. It's unapologetically angry, surprisingly tender,

0:53.0

and deeply entertaining.

0:55.2

I think that 2000 and late is ideal for fans of Fleabag or Killing Eve, Jennifer's body,

1:01.0

yellow jackets, venom. So yeah, let's go create some havoc. Oh, and also, Jeffrey worked

Starship Iris. The Strange Case of the Starship Iris is a sci-fi audio drama with a wonderful ensemble cast.

1:31.2

It follows a rag-tag spaceship crew working together to resist fascism and survive across the farthest reaches of space.

1:39.4

I have personally often described this show as like the TV show Firefly, except all the people

1:45.7

on the ship actually like each other. There are mysteries and government conspiracies and

1:51.4

friendship and romance and a whole fake alien language that has its very own soap operas. It's awesome.

1:58.0

This show is a favorite of mine and it's written by our friend Jessica Best,

2:02.5

who you probably recognize her name because she also writes on Unwell and World Gone Wrong.
