Funny Sci-Fi That Doesn't Suck

I would say, "I love this award-winning comedy fiction podcast where a radio jockey in the future uses a newfangled device to live-stream his nightmares for ratings and all hell breaks loose."

But, that's gauche because I make the show. So here are a few 5-star reviews that popped up on Apple Podcasts:

"Good mix of humor and...

*****
I've been listening for a while and I think what keeps me listening is the immersive fiction feel while the humor keeps it from getting boring. Really creative and evocative ideas.
And the audio production is high quality, lots of audio tracks and effects throughout. It's good to run to, I find it helps the time pass quickly."

"Strap in for a wild ride!

*****
A hilarious, well produced fictional radio show! I believe there's only one actor (correct me if I'm wrong) but he's amazing at carrying on so many roles! I'm invested in Kirby's well being and excited to hear more in season 2~"

"so cool and funny!!!!

*****
can't wait for more episodes
НАНАНА ILOVE THIS"
