Show Notes
Hello!
I’m dropping in to introduce an audio drama that’s been going for some time: The Strata, by Mark R Healy. Set in a sprawling, dystopian metropolis in a sci-fi future, The Strata follows Rust, an ageing mechanically-augmented courier forced into business with an underworld ganglord in order to pay for treatment to keep his rapidly-failing body alive.
He narrates his tale in a manner that is pure film-noir and as a fan of flawed protagonists, I enjoyed following his story. Rust as a narrator is one part Reacher, one part Philip Marlowe, with a little Ron Perlman thrown in there for vocal tone. Episode one starts as his mostly-robotic body is starting to fail, and he’s growing desperate; but how far is he willing to go to stay alive?
Listen on for Episode One of The Strata, and you can find The Strata anywhere you listen to podcasts! Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
