Downnlas Tatoe on Space

Weird Audio Productions, 2012
 
This audio drama, combining futuristic speculation, nostalgia for the days of steam radio, a fascination with space epics past and present, plus a welter of in-jokes both obscure and familiar, is just the kind of thing the internet was made for.  It hooks the listeners' attention and doesn't let go; we want to know what's happening next - as in all the best serials - while admiring the sheer versatility of writer/producer Davy Ferguson.
 
I won't attempt to give any idea of the plot - it is both too complicated and too involved to do so.  Suffice to say that it involves issues of discovery, possession, loss, success and failure; the kind of things characteristic of all good space operas.  However I will say that the serial as a whole is extremely addictive.
 
At the time of writing, I could not find all episodes of the serial available to listen.  I urge Ferguson to make them all available once more at the earliest possible opportunity.
