Primordial Deep
One of my favorite audio drama of the year, serving up the delicious result of throwing Jurassic Park and Atlantis: The Lost Empire into a blender with a NatGeo documentary about prehistoric sea creatures. No Such Thing Radio deftly blends the sense of anticipation and curiosity from a classic seafaring adventure with the unease of, y’know, hoping characters don’t die but also knowing it’ll be kinda cool when they do. It also lives in a small group of audio fiction brave enough to have a character who’s an unapologetic prick but also useful to the ensemble. Writer Jordan Cobb’s going for the title of audio drama’s Michael Crichton-but-good and doing a damn fine job so far.
