“What came before us?” By asking this simple question, Dr. Lo Swell has become a household name across Perma. People gather every week at their local listening center to hear his voice introduce a new story reading from the Wreesome Island Survivals, the ancient archive discovered on the desolate island of Emptee Sla. “The Wreesome Island Survivals” is an audio fiction podcast and radio show that explores a possible landscape following the demise of our own. The show speaks to listeners as though they are members of this future world, Perma.
