Interest in "ars PARADOXICA", a sci-fi/mystery serial fiction podcast?

July 6, 2016 1:52 AM

I recently started listening to ars PARADOXICA (via collectallfour's AskMe) and am really enjoying it. Is there any interest in adding it to the FanFare podcast feeds?

From their site, linked above:

ars PARADOXICA is a love letter to physics, fiction, and the future. It's a disorienting journey through spacetime and the Cold War. It's a tome of secret history you stumbled across in a library in the dead of night.

It's also a serial audio drama.

When an experiment in a time much like our own goes horribly awry, Dr. Sally Grissom finds herself stranded in the past and entrenched in the activities of a clandestine branch of the US government. Grissom and her team quickly learn that there's no safety net when toying with the fundamental logic of the universe.

Episodes should be experienced sequentially. New episodes are released on the first of the month; episodes broken into acts are released within the same month.

Because it's a serial and there's not too much of a backlog, I think starting at the beginning and treating it as a "first watch" (as the TV kids say) is the best way forward.

Hopefully we can get some fun discussion of the plot, and (spoiler-free) attempts to work out the numbers station -like puzzles in the outros.

Any thoughts?

I am 100 percent down with this. I was just looking for new serial drama podcasts.

Sounds good to me. I'll download and listen and look forward to the posts.

Well, three people makes a party :). I've submitted it to the mods, and will put the first episode up when it's approved.

What do you folks think about the rate -- start off weekly, until we catch up to where it is now?

That sounds fine. I can keep up with that.

Sure. That'll take us until about November to catch up.
