Ad Astral Science Fiction Podcast

Welcome aboard AD ASTRAL, presenting the short science fiction stories of DJ Burnham in a triannual transmission. Let us take you on a voyage far into outer, and inner-space. Together, we will visit strange and alternative worlds, experience alien cultures, weird experiments, future dystopias and mysterious lifeforms, leap through the looking-glass of quantum reality, cheat death and embrace life to the full. Our growing crew of voice actors and foley artists are working to make your trip an unforgettable adventure into the unknown. (Individual explicit ratings reflect occasional mild violence and sexual references. Strong language and graphic content tends to be avoided.) Visit us at http://www.adastralpodcast.com
