I hope that all of these anthologies are eventually released in a single volume. I'd happily pay to have them. This short in particular is an excellent piece of world-building and has me hoping that maybe Daniel and his crew will decide to produce a second audio drama with characters based in Tantalus dealing with the collapse while our existing heroes continuing their adventures in the nebula. Or they could do a prequel of how the scientists and government officials handled the revelation that most human life in Tantalus was essentially doomed. I'm also hoping for the return of Jasper Ravi too. Yes, the Avalon was destroyed, but he could have made it to an escape pod.
It finally put into context the resource crisis of Tantalus, even with such advanced technology. I can totally believe that the people in power ignored the resource crisis until the last minute and started wars instead (looking at the real world right now) which worsened both the situation and the economy. So immersive, they really are just like us for real! Daily dose of existential dread in every news broadcast! The most unlikely part is the rational and calm discourse without a crackpot for a "balanced" point of view, but that just shows how more advanced they are than current society.
I love this, how you're building that background information and in-universe lore in a way that's so very organic and doesn't rely on Weber-style infodumps!
Damn I wonder what the Sojourn is about/s. Jokes aside I love this, it's a great piece of world building and gives us a glimpse into the day to day life of someone living in the universe
As a huge biology/ecology/Sustainability nerd, I adore that this brings up Carrying Capacity as a major plot/worldbuilding point. So many scifi writers handwave their life support systems, and never take their intrinsic limits seriously. Sadly , a lot of people in our real world dont take our own hard scientific limits to growth seriously either
Hey I'm just curious about season 2. I'm almost finished listening to season 1, absolutely loving it. I was trying to find out if a season 2 is in the works, but it was pretty hard to find info about this online.
I wonder what this city is? I'd love to know more about it. Also the CBR signs flicker as they speak if you didn't notice. Also these guys need the SFIA community to save them.
I really enjoy this series and its world but the resource crisis makes little sense since carrying capacity isn’t a real concern when you are interplanetary and have fusion. However, The Expanse, Star Wars, and Star Trek have done it, so I will let it be.
The fusion fuel is what is in short supply, that’s the scarcity. Drift is very finite, and it is used in the coils of drift drives to accelerate the reactant in order to be efficient.
Tantalus is a very small extragalactic star cluster consisting primarily of long-lived red dwarves. As a result, there is not a lot of stellar activity, such as supernovas, compared to our own Milky Way Galaxy, to create and spread around heavy elements and minerals. This includes phosphate, which is essential for the creation of arable soil from which to grow food, which is the primary concern in this setting. Honestly, the fact that this stellar body had enough phosphate to create even a few planets with Earth-like conditions and resources, let alone to sustain an exponentially expanding population of billions for almost three centuries with only sixteen stars out of five hundred, could be considered a minor astronomical miracle in and of itself. They talked about all of this in a podcast discussing the science behind the Sojourn.
There is enough resources in a single star system to support everything and everyone. And if there's not enough farmable land just make hydroponic warehouses

For spin offs I think a prequel centered around the union and CDF war would be pretty interesting .
I really hope they post more Anthology shorts on the TH-cam channel
I NEED more of these

This kind of feels like an NPR broadcast in the U.S. (not sure what other country's equivalent would be), they usually don't have a crackpot.

This is the best form of a lore short that I have ever seen (more like heard in this case🤣)
News reals are the best way to have lore
This sounds scarily familiar

I love how this feels so British

If this series were hard sci-fi, there wouldn’t be a resource crisis.
Ooh also, where can I submit fan art? The characters were very likeable and I can't seem to get them out of my head, so I might draw them.
We have a Discord that’s perfect for sharing fan art! You can use this link to join: discord.gg/CB4fSFZuAr
@@TheSojournHQ Okay sweet!
Excellent. I really hope that there is a second season.

Yess more sojourn !!!
When does the TV show launch. Need something after the expanse ended.
There isn’t a TV show coming . This is an audiodrama
@@razorback8300 I know 😂 Im saying it's so good it should be a TV show. I'm sure Dan would make sure the quality and vfx are of the expanse level.
NICE piece of esposition. Loveit.
Loving this, great verisimilitude.
Love me once, again.
I recognize this voice from somewhere
He almost sounds like the youtuber Obsidian Ant, but not quite.
I wonder who the crew of that rogue ship that made the unauthorized jump might be? A teaser for season 2? 🤔
I think the its the ship full of cows (can’t remember the name) from season 1
Yep
holy shit this sounds so real
Which regions have the series on spotify now? (feb 2024)
I wonder what this city is? I'd love to know more about it.
Also the CBR signs flicker as they speak if you didn't notice.

Soooooo when is season 2 coming out?
Hopefully sometime this year . Even then as long as it is as good as the first season, I don’t really mind how long it takes .
@@razorback8300 Have they made any announcements on when they are planning to release it?
@@PantslessThundergoose don’t think so .
Next year.
The first volume is coming out on August 24th ( I know this comment is old but i wanted to give an update )
Wait so the whole thing started due to Malthusianism?
