Need an Audiobook treat? We recommend Project Hail Mary. It's way up the Comic Belief alley, and it was an award-winning favorite of 2021 for Audible.com listeners.

The book has some mystery elements, so this episode has several spoiler tags -- you can hear our pitch for why you should read books by author Andy Weir, then you can hear the basic premise, and finally if you proceed past the spoiler warnings, we'll talk about why this is some great Comic Belief content to review! (Though Megan points out several times that even knowing some of the plot and twists, she thoroughly enjoyed the book. And we make sure not to spoil the big ending!).Suffice to say, if you like playing in the sandbox of slightly-more-sciencey sci-fi, and like characters who can inspire, this is a book well worth reading. And you can, of course, hear about it on a podcast well worth listening to, here at Comic Belief!
