Space horror at its finest
I say space horror, but it's a lot more than that. Janus Descending plays with the listener's perspective beautifully, and its ominous tone is very well executed.

Description
A limited series, science fiction/horror audio drama podcast, follows the arrival of two xenoarcheologists on a small world orbiting a binary star. But what starts off as an expedition to survey the planet and the remains of a lost alien civilization, turns into a monstrous game of cat and mouse, as the two scientists are left to face the creatures that killed the planet in the first place. Told from two alternating perspectives, Janus Descending is an experience of crossing timelines, as one character describes the nightmare from end to beginning, and the other, from beginning to the end.

Best Audio Fiction I’ve listened to
Janus descending is my absolute favourite podcast. If you like a love story mixed with the sheer excitement to be travelling in space and then abject horror then this is the story for you.
If you have stood and stared at the stars and gazed in amazement then this is definitely for you.
Told from two difference perspectives and time points in the same story, Chels runs from the start and Peter starts at the end and works backwards
You get a mix of light and dark during the story telling and then once you are done it is worth listening through chronologically.
I can’t recommend this highly enough
