  • Book Recommendation: The Stench of Adventure

    This week, we're recommending a show we think you should listen to: The Stench of Adventure, from Strong Branch Productions


    Stella Thomas had spent her whole life trying (and failing) to be a good daughter, friend, and partner. Then one day none of that matters because it turns out that her entire world was a simulation. Now Stella is thrust into a cold and uncaring universe, armed only with memories of a planet Earth that never existed.
    Just when it seems there is nothing in the world for her, Stella is whisked away by a fast-talking totally-not-con-woman named Baz, who promises her a life of adventure exploring the galaxy. Well, she wasn’t lying about the adventure, but it’s not entirely what Stella expected.

    This is their Bonus Episode: Benevolent Robots Corporation Advertisement


    The voice of the Benevolent Robots Corporation Representative was Roanna Cruz. The voice of the “Satisfied Customer” was Ellen Wesley.

    Music by Optima Noorani-Kamtekar and Alex Kingsley.
