Wolf 359: Your home eight light years away from home

If anyone is interested in finding a really good podcast/radio drama to listen to (or even just find the concept interesting, I sorta stumbled onto it accidentally myself), Wolf 359 is a really good podcast to listen to. From the about section:

If want a really brief comparison, it's a lot like SS13 ministation: the podcast. The first season is pretty light and comedic for the most part and has a ton of shenanigans you could picture happening in a normal round of SS13, but after that it starts to take pretty dark turns and gets insanely engaging on a dramatic level. I'd absolutely recommend digging into it, personally I'm at around episode 26 right now. Anyone else following along with this?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.
