Description

Life's not easy for Doug Eiffel, the communications officer for the U.S.S. Hephaestus Research Station, currently on Day 448 of its orbit around red dwarf star Wolf 359. He's stuck on a scientific survey mission of indeterminate length, 7.8 light years from Earth. His only company on board the station are stern mission chief Minkowski, insane science officer Hilbert, and Hephaestus Station's sentient, often malfunctioning operating system Hera. He doesn't have much to do for his job other than monitoring static and intercepting the occasional decades-old radio broadcast from Earth, so he spends most of his time creating extensive audio logs about the ordinary, day-to-day happenings within the station. But the Hephaestus is an odd place, and life in extremely isolated, zero gravity conditions has a way of doing funny things to people's minds. Even the simplest of tasks can turn into a gargantuan struggle, and the most ordinary-seeming things have a way of turning into anything but that. Wolf 359 is a radio drama in the tradition of Golden Age of Radio shows. Take one part space-faring adventure, add one part character drama, and mix in one part absurdist sitcom, and you get Wolf 359. New episodes are released every two weeks.

Best podcast I’ve ever listened to

This is hands down the best podcast I’ve ever listened to. I listened to it last year and started listening again recently. The story is absolutely amazing and the characters are so well written. This podcast will make you laugh, cry and laugh even more!
Seriously suggest listening to this on your commute, at work, or just whenever!

11/10

Every episode I am left amazed and shocked by what happens. Honestly one of the best shows out there.
Characters are incredibly well written, in personality, motivations and dialogue.
You guys are absolutely amazing. Wanting to write myself if I end up half as good as you guys I’ll be happy with my work.

LOVE

I just finished Wolf359 in a really short space of time for an audio drama with that many episodes! But I just couldn’t stop listening. It’s comedic entertainment on behalf of Eiffel for the first few episodes until things start to reveal themselves. No character is better than the other, they are all amazing and the actors were phenomenal. Would recommend this to everyone. Also... I want a friend like Hera 😂 it’s a must listen! 👏🏼

INSTANTLY HOOKED

Wolf359 has amazing characters and a storyline that will put those characters through every situation imaginable, yet still avoids being cliché. Filled with moments that will make you laugh, cry and want to fight each and every character.
I’m so glad this was created and could listen to this on repeat for the rest of my life

Brilliant!

Just started this on the recommendation from my son. Totally addicted! Bit like Red Dwarf but better! Great acting and writing.

Slow burn excellence

It takes a while. At first, it’s all funny shtick and banter but then... yeah, baby, it takes a turn. At tenterhooks here and loving it. Well played.

Spectacular

This podcast starts out as a series of comedic events and slowly a plot begins to reveal itself. Once revealed, the plot is gripping and heartstoppingly wonderful. I have thoroughly enjoyed listening as these characters deepen and we gain more of an understanding of both them and the plots into which they have been woven.

Great show

I really think this show should be better known. It has brilliant characters and the voice acting brings them to life. It also has humour and a good plot line that grips you. LISTEN!!!

It took me a while to get it

The first eps are 'just fun' although you later realise they've been setting stuff up, and then it turns into really proper 'story' . It's really well done, gripping, fun, characterful, well produced, sound, performances are all great. I'm amazed people are making such great stuff. Well worth listening to.
I have none.

Hands Down The Best Audio Drama

I’ve really got into audio dramas in the last year. I binge listen avidly and I’m so sad that I’m now listening to the final episode of Wolf 359. I will probably listen over again until this talented bunch of people come up with another masterpiece. Thank you all x

I have never laughed and cried so much

I would die for every character in this show, so well written, amazing execution. Just imagine every single amazing thing about podcasts and it 100% can be applied to this masterpiece

I don’t know what to say:(

The problem I have with this podcast is that after finishing the show I can’t find any more show as interesting and fun as this one! :(((
Thanks anyway 👍

Outstanding

Wow. This show was spectacular. I have listened to my fair share of podcasts but this is a cut above the rest. The acting is phenomenal, the sound effects were amazing and the whole production was incredible. You guys should really look into getting this on tv, it would be a massive hit. Well done and you deserve any accolade you get. Thank you.

Why this isn’t more talked about I’ll never know. Thoroughly engaging, totally binge worthy, and utterly addictive.

A sci-fi lovers dream

I can’t believe I managed to know a world without Wolf 359. It is exactly everything I could need or want from a sci fi radio drama. It’s funny, clever, tense, dramatic and dangerously immersive. The voice talent is incredible, fantastic foley work and wonderful writing to boot. I can not recommend his podcast enough. If you enjoy Nightvale then this is 100% for you

AMAZING. DO NOT SECOND GUESS!!

The characters are funny and very well developed. Douggie Fresh and the crew of Hephaestus are everything BUT boring! I hope there will be more future projects from this production!!!

Come for the crew, stay for the weirdness.

I stumbled on this podcast about a week ago and it has gotten to the point where I am actively doing things like housework just so I have an excuse to listen to this show. Good production value with sound affects and music to reinforce the scenes. Great characters and so many strange goings on to really sink your teeth into!
I only wish they could produce them as fast as I can listen. Just about to end season 2 and it is a real doozie!

Just brilliant

Okay, I’ve listened to this entire podcast (bar the finale) over the last month and I absolutely love it. So much so that I’m too scared to finish as I know I’m going to miss it when it ends! The characterisation especially is really strong and the bonus episodes add to the show rather than acting as filler like in so many podcasts. It is definitely worth a listen! Thank you Kinda Evil Genius Productions for making such a wonderful show :)

Utter genius

This podcast is total genius. I’ve listened to several over the past couple of years and honestly this is the only one that I still get excited about when a new episode is released. Brilliant writing, fantastic voice cast and a plot that keeps you constantly gripped!
I am so sad that it ends in a couple of weeks, but I know I will definitely go back to the beginning and listen to it all over again!

Totally hooked on this wonderfully written, mysterious, tense comedy. Cannot reccomend enough, continually great episodes. Reminds me of a more sinister Red Dwarf!

A Superior production than anything Hollywood can write!

I really enjoy this podcast ! Think Red Dwarf crossed with Alien is the best way to describe this podcast. I enjoy how it starts like a comedy then slowly morphs into a great drama.
Hollywood could seriously learn about Great production from podcasts!

This is the best podcast I've ever listened to

I've listened to A Lot of podcasts but none can compare to this one. The story is unpredictable but emotional and exciting! It starts off with only a few characters but slowly we discover new parts of the story and universe that we could never predict. Minkowski and Lovelace are incredible, the dear listeners are fascinating, and Eiffel is.., well, he's Eiffel....

Space Opera for the 21st Century

Spectacular space opera for the 21st Century. Think Charles Chilton's "Journey Into Space", but with contemporary Hollywood-level sound design and production values. It manages to be hokey and charming whilst occasionally delivering genuinely chilling moments. It's a real find. Heartily recommended.

Funny, moving, slightly creepy...

... this podcast has it all. It starts off small and largely comedy based, but the show grows and evolves in a way that never feels contrived or unnecessary. Honestly, listening to this is such a pleasure and it's like coming home every time I do. This was the first fiction podcast I ever listened to and it set such a high standard for subsequent ones. Thank you so much for sharing this with us.

AMAZING!

This was the first podcast I listened to after WTNV so it has a special place in my heart! It has such a gripping storyline, and you never know what's going to happen next! Everyone involved is extremely talented and it's something you should definitely listen to. Now.

Brilliant, gripping and evocative

I can't praise Wolf 359 enough. This podcast has great characters, an enthralling and chilling plot, and brilliant production. It's a brilliant must-listen!

Simply Brilliant

An excellent storyline which starts strongly comic and slowly exposes additional layers, onion like adding pathos, drama, terror. The characters are fully fleshed and superbly portrayed with revelation after revelation exposing them to the audience more and more as the show goes on, making you demand to know more. It is a show which doesn't pull it's punches when it needs to hit home.

Miss

Slow starter that turns awesome fast. This show doesn't miss a beat, and never falls prey to two dimensional characters. There's always a little more to learn about a character's moral perspective or motivation. Full of humour and genuinely lovable personalities

One of my favourites. Ever.

I'm a huge podcast fan and Wolf 359 is one of the best I've ever listened to. As other reviewers have pointed out, it starts out deceptively light and sweet, but the characters are so well developed and the plot so perfectly paced that the next thing you know you're crying into your sleeve at work over the AI that runs the Hephaestus. Kudos to the wonderful voice actors and incredible music too. I'd give it 10 stars if I could.

Amazing!

I have to say I was not sure about this one before I started listening. I thought it would be a single-person narrated show, and I like dramatic multi-person shows. But when I started listening, and- WOW! This is what episodic sic-fi SHOULD be! Exciting, funny, seat-of-the-pants action, with some real pull-the-rug-out-from-under-you moments to give it depth and texture, too. The characters are adorably kooky, perky AI, sinister-weird and sober-sister (I'm listening to the first season- more characters join later on it seems), and you just WANT them to succeed!
I really cannot rave enough. I was so surprised and pleased and excited by what I hear.
Give it a listen- you have to, even if sic-fi is not your thing. Ok, so it's a sci-fi premise, but it is firstly a character drama through and through; a small-cast, claustrophobic in-a-box-space drama. You'll never look at your spider plant the same way again...
