Thank you for listening to our Fool and Scholar Production. To support this podcast and our other works, please become a Patron on Patreon.com today.

As you can see from above, this podcast has an international cast, which gives it a flavor I’ve not heard before, you don’t have American’s pretending to be a nationality they aren’t. They also had native speakers translate the other languages into fluent versions of the language instead of just relying on Google Translate, to handle it.

I would suggest listening to this binge-style, all ten episodes will make for a quick listen and leave you to wanting more! This does lead us to the one downside, season 2 isn’t expected to be released until October of 2018, which even of this writing is still five months away.

I realize this is rather bad timing, as I had just started the show up. I’m currently running a fundraiser to replace my main computer as its now broken.

Due to this I’m unable to edit any audio currently. However I am trying to replace it with a small fundraiser that I’m running Kickstarter like.

Hi all, I know its been a long time since there has been anything from us. There will be an audio version of this review soon.

Today we are doing a review of a new Audio Drama called “Above and Below.”

The main character of this audio drama is Marcus Reachman, played by Daniel Macnaughton, who is the only private detective in Midnight City.

Not sure really where Midnight City is, as its never actually defined. However it seems to be taking place either in an alternate earth or far into the future. This area seems to be divided into numbered districts and the higher the number the worse condition you live in.

The voice acting for this is very good, which going by the fact that the entire cast at minimum has acting on other audio dramas, and at most having starred in plays and films.

While the promo is done very well as far as the audio quality is concerned, I do have to say the story while interesting does have several well known clichés. This entire episode’s mystery is the old classic “victim was killed in a locked room locked from the inside.” How many different ways can you do this kind of mystery from?

I would recommend that you check out this audio drama, hopefully they will be releasing the second episode soon.

Voice acting: 10/10

Originality:  7/10

Please pray for the people of the towns of Henryville & Marysville Indiana. The 2 towns were totally destroyed by tornado’s today. We had a long stretch of storms roll through and a number of people died.

Sorry for the delay, Chris has a new schedule & I have had some issues here in this neck of the woods. We have a show lined out & we will get it out.
