I'm sure if I stopped posting in the middle of the night, more people would see these, ah well... There are some podcasts that are just iconic. Sure, Wolf 359 (@wolf359radio ) from Kinda Evil Genius Productions isn't quite Serial or Welcome to Nightvale, but it's got a following for sure! Between 2015 and 2018 Wolf 359 won multiple categories at the Audio Verse Awards, were finalists for a Parsec, and nominated for a Webby. The show is about the small crew of the USS Hephaestus research station orbiting a red dwarf star called Wolf 359. The Hephaestus is on an ongoing observational mission of the star, and also to observe for alien life. Our characters are everyone's favorite comms officer, Doug Eiffel, no nonsense captain Minkowski, creepy Dr. Hibert, and the slightly buggy AI, Hera. And Eiffel is bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. So he's recording snarky audio logs, he's driving the captain batty, he's being buddies with the AI, and...maybe discovering more than they all bargained for about the station, and signals from space, and management, and...some other stuff. Not quite space horror, not quite sitcom, not quite character drama, but 💯 Wolf 359, and perfect. You will be both sad and excited to find out you can binge the whole show as it ended in 2018. If you like Girl in Space, Diary of a Space Archivist, Station to Station, King Falls AM, or anything involving the voice of Zach Valenti, then you're in for a treat!

HILBERT: How else did you think it was going to end? Did you think I would ever give up? Stop trying?

EIFFEL: You were... I don't know. I could feel the conflict within you!

HILBERT: That is just a movie, Eiffel.

Hello Wolf359 fandom, here I am, with drawings. I’ve binged all the episodes in 3 days and my feelings went from 0 to ∞+1 way too fast. #LetTheHaephestusGoHome2016 Rest of the crew to come ‎‎( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I just took a pizza order over the phone for a man who sounds exactly like Mr. Cutter. Exactly. I'm more than a little shaken up.

How much food does Minkowski have in her secret stash? Does she have toothpaste? Did she bring a can of soup only to remember upon opening it that liquids do not work in outer space? Did she then go on to drink the soup out of the air with a straw? Does Eiffel know about the stash and secretly steal from it at night? Important Questions, guys.

You know, I just got the best mental image of all the characters on the Hephaestus when they were in Kindergarten.

Little Minkowski bossing everyone around and ensuring that everyone got their fair rations of crayons at art time. Baby Eiffel being a little troublemaker who stole other kids animal crackers but was also one of the sweetest, shy-est little kids when his friends weren't around. Hilbert sitting by himself during recess playing with the little toy chemistry sets and looking at the pictures in a space magazine. And Lovelace... well, being Lovelace. And Hera is the teacher, and she running around like, "Be careful, scissors can puncture your fragile human flesh and cause injury and considerable pain!
