701: Malaga by Michelle Mellon

Enjoy episode 1 of Visionaries. In 2185, the world is distinguished by two races: The Dead-eyes and the Visionaries. Visionaries are the next step in human evolution. They are born with unique eyes, giving them superhuman abilities. However, humans born with normal eyes are labeled as Dead-eyes. The disparity in power leads to the enslavement of all Dead-eyes. Listen to season one wherever you get your podcasts, and follow the Dead-eye slaves' rebellion against the Visionaries.

Season 2 premieres on December 6!
