Phi Fic

Dicussions of literature from a philosophical perspective.

Hosts of Eden

Hosts of Eden is a modern radio drama, written and performed by Jay Mcfarland. Season 1’s 11-part fictional podcast serial was just the beginning of the cliff-hanger science fiction fun. Season 2 drops March 5. While Marian and Mason are trying to adjust to their new role as guardians of the Genesis device, the nation is faced with a new threat. Someone or something is able to jump from one body to the next, allowing them to infiltrate high-security military installations and leaving a trail of bodies behind. No one knows what they are looking for or how to stop them. Having no other options, the President of the United States seeks Marian’s help with the hope that she can use her newfound abilities to track down this elusive enemy. Marian reluctantly agrees and is then on a path that eventually causes her to question whether or not the Hosts of Eden are the only ones who want the bodies of mankind.

Curl up nice and tight, turn the lights low, and allow the Narrator to take you to a world where god is angry, and he’s ready to leave the ground covered in corpses.
