Nolira is an agronomist tasked with establishing agriculture in a new solar system, but when she wakes up on a now- empty colony ship, the whole of her plan disappears. The ship has been set adrift, with numerous mission-critical problems requiring immediate attendance outside of her area of expertise. Nolira is aided by the ship’s malfunctioning AI, which acts as her confidant and companion during the fight for survival.

Random Chinese….why..?

MysteriousUniverse•6/24/2025

Decent story besides being slightly reductive, great production, just…WHY the Chinese every few minutes? I’d be curious to learn what the writers were trying to do with that. I’m guessing the vast majority of listeners don’t speak Chinese so what is its purpose as it adds nothing to the story?

Too much minutiae

BeckiBears•1/11/2025

I really liked the premise of this story but the first two episodes got so bogged down in details of an endless trip across the ship in and out of airless zones with the ship’s AI repeating the same phrases ad nauseum. I felt like I was getting maybe 10 minutes of actual story in a 39 minute episode. Felt like writers padding the story to stretch it out. Also the lead actress doesn’t help. She doesn’t have much nuance in her performance — and script doesn’t help. She’s basically forced to be at 11 the whole.

Interesting concept but…

I love the premise of the podcast. But I can’t stand the main protagonist’s voice. When she whines, and there is a lot of whining, her voice is quite grating. Also her Chinese pronunciation is pretty dismal. If you’re going to make the lead a Chinese speaker, at least make sure they can pronounce the tones. Some of the other Chinese-speaking characters in the podcast do a much better job.

A fan of other creations but this?

Have to say that I am a huge fan of Liberty and other similar podcasts like Theatre of Tomorrow and this podcast seems to have promise. The concept is solid and the sound effects are very good. The voice actress for the protagonist though not so good. It seems like she doesn’t know what accent she wants to have. She switches from British to Scottish and then throws in some random Chinese. It’s like she went to a buffet and couldn’t decide what she wanted to eat so she threw a bunch of random stuff on the plate and called it a night. I just finished season 3 and I’m honestly glad I stuck with it. Season 1 was hard to get through but seasons 2 and 3 were worth it. The characters became more engaging and I eventually became invested in Nolira’s plight. I really hope they do another season.
