I have a long commute. A very long commute. Every. Day. I've reached the point where radio just doesn't pass the time for me, and talk radio just makes me cranky. So, I have taken to podcasts for my drivetime entertainment. After blowing through several years of backlogged Nerdist episodes, I needed a new 'fix.'
Luckly, Dungeon Dame recommended an older fictional podcast to check out - and within the first 5 minutes, I was HOOKED. The Leviathan Chronicles, by Christof Laputka, is a full-on audio drama with lush sound design and a fantastic cast of voice actors. With a sweeping story that spans the globe, soars through the stratosphere and plunges into the depths of the deepest ocean, the Leviathan Chronicles is a one-of-a-kind compelling drama that will captivate you from beginning to end.

The science fiction adventure series follows the story of Macallan Orsel, a University student who finds out (violently) that her whole life is a lie - and the truth of her very being is stranger than she could ever imagine. On the run from immortal despots, genetic monsters and secret government agencies, Macallen must find allies, befriend enemies, and above all survive long enough to save the world...
The series started in back in 2008 and ran 1.5 seasons consisting of thirty-eight, 45min-1hr long episodes. Unfortunately, there has been no information since October 2014 on the progress of any new episodes, and with the author's move to San Fran and apparent return to a career in finance, there is little hope of a proper conclusion. Sadly, the story 'ends' with a bit of a cliffhanger, but I promise you it is still well worth the listen.
