    A gift
    Truly a beautiful story and podcast - incredibly written, acted, and built out. A greedy part of me wants so much more content from this world, but in reality I wouldn’t change a thing. This short(-ish, in terms of episode count) and sweet story of connection, community even though isolation, and love in all its forms is a perfectly encapsulated gift from the creators, cast, and everyone who brought it to life.

    Fun as heck!
    It's been awhile since I last chewed through an audio drama in one go. Very well done, immersive, heartfelt, tons of great humor, great acting, just the right amount of background ambient noise, very well done. Already recommended to my fam!

    Tense and emotional in all the right ways.
    If you are looking for a great podcast I cannot recommend this podcast enough. It’s full of emotion in all the best ways. It’s only 10 episodes long leaving you wishing there were more but ends exactly as it should.

    Touching Sci-Fi
    A story about discovery, loneliness, and connection. The main characters have an enjoyable dynamic as their relationship develops over Space Work Zoom from begrudging coworkers to friends to lovers. The story explores connection over distance, and the joy and helplessness that can inspire, which is relatable in Covid Times. I love how the bedtime story one of the main characters tells at the end of episodes relates to the main characters' relationship development.

    Amazing and truly touching
    I will never take this out of my library, never. This show is spectacular. I wish I could hold out hope for more, but I would not want anything else to be different about this show.

    Space, Friendship, and Storytelling!
    There are not words for how much I adore this podcast. I adore Gwen’s bedtime stories, her relationship with Bell, the casual diversity, BOOTS (the love of my life), literally every single thing about Bell, the fact that it is set in SPACE, the amazing actors, the sound effects and brilliant writing, etc etc. My every waking thought is consumed by thoughts of these characters. This is one of the best podcasts I’ve listened to and definitely one of my all time favorites!
