Valdivian's [REDACTED]

Valdivian’s [REDACTED] is a science-fiction scripted anthology fiction podcast set in The Afforest, a diverse galaxy from a distant future infested by the techno-feudalist entity known as Valdivian. Each episode subscribes to a different sub-genre and tackles a range of thought-provoking topics.

Toil in the dust with Abe Smith as he deals with the fallout of his sister leaving orbit for greener pastures, and the death of his father to a cancer that could've been cured with single shot off-planet. Listen as Reggie rents out his subconscious to pay off his debts and slowly loses grip on what's dream and reality. Hear Lucy battle with both the horrors of insatiable corporate greed and gender dysphoria, alongside some well deserved romance to soothe the battered-but-not-broken soul. All Kana and Yenna want is a sapphic adventure, but to earn their soft endings they must first escape the wage slave gauntlet. And is somebody still working at that derelict soup factory?
