Today’s episode of Facing Fate is a spotlighting The Strata, a dystopian audio drama that grabbed us fast and didn’t let go.

Set in a sprawling, checkpoint-choked metropolis divided sharply between the rich and the poor, The Strata weaves together an ensemble of stories into one larger, interconnected narrative. At the heart of it all is an ageing courier forced into a dangerous partnership with an underworld ganglord, because the treatment keeping him alive doesn’t come cheap.

What really stood out to us after listening is how character-driven the show is. While the sci-fi backdrop is epic, the focus stays firmly on people: their compromises, their survival tactics, and the lines they’re willing (or unwilling) to cross. Each season centers on a different character grappling with themes like corruption, inequality, immortality, and the double-edged nature of technology. It’s gritty, thoughtful, and deeply human, even when it gets violent.

At its core, The Strata is about life at the bottom rung of society. How do people endure injustice when the system is stacked against them? What happens to relationships under that pressure? And what does “rising above” actually look like when the odds are overwhelming?

You can learn more about the show at thestratapodcast.com, and you can find and listen to The Strata anywhere you get your podcasts.

Huge thanks to The Strata for their support, go check them out.

The tenants of the Bayok Gardens have a strong position, but all it takes is one slip-up and Dr. Carver could be yesterday's news. Get ready with your drug laced sandwich and sawed-off shotgun for the epic finale of Chromeheads & Corpos.

After a quick internal discussion about the apartment's visitors, the group checks in with the building owner, Dr. Carver, and head out to say "Hello!". The best way to make new friends is to make the first move after all.
