This Planet Needs a Name

Imagine a handful of scientists and engineers setting out to terraform a planet - a world - for the frozen people they've got in tow. Just a few people, carefully chosen, who will live out their lives building something they'll never see.

That's us. We're building a future.

A science fiction audio drama suitable for our times.

    Ugh
    I wanted to enjoy this, but it was too milquetoast for me.

    Snoozefest
    I tried and tried to finish this (all but 4 episodes), but was so bored. Don’t waste your time.

    One of my dearest faves
    I was describing this show to a friend today as being so lovely and genuine that it feels like listening to a hug in the shape of very sweet, very tragic characters who live in space ❤️

    An Incredible Sci-Fi Audio Drama
    A really talented cast makes this well-written audio drama a pleasure to listen to. The story is equal parts heart-wrenching, frightening, and hopeful. A must-listen for anyone who could use some positive sci-fi in their life.

    So much more
    This show sounds great, is acted perfectly, written exquisitely, yes, yes, yes... but what I want to make sure you know is that This Planet Needs a Name is about us; it's about community & humanity in ways that are so incisive, you're barely ready for them when they happen. If you want a fiction podcast to love but also to be changed by, listen now !!!

    Great Science Fiction
    I love sci-fi stories with emotion rather than just action and this podcast hits the spot!

    This review needs a title
    Made by compassionate and powerful voices, this story is brilliantly a work of love. The team has created a wonderful world in which anyone, in which I, could belong. The characters are so dimensional, and even though they’re probably light years away and sweating things I never could have imagined they feel so close and so real. This podcast is strong and fierce, but soft and inclusive. I love it.
  • Happy anime fan
    Amazing and would love more like it!
    This podcast is just so wholesome and the show runners are considerate. I would love more podcasts like this, I haven’t had a podcast that has brought me so much joy and love in a while. The characters are so much fun to explore the created world with.

    Building a World with Kindness
    As a writer, I really love seeing the process of worldbuilding as a story. The characters that are going through this adventure are right away are full, round characters and lovely people. I would love to get a cup of coffee with any one of them! Within the few episodes that have been released, the audience sees an engaging world. The Planet is going to be intresting to explore, but hearing about Earth and the circumastances surrounding the team's move is also intriguing. I'm excited to see where the story goes!

    Can’t wait for more!
    Cyrus is so wholesome. Would definitely try to befriend and bake bread with. Also A+ world building, personality types, and moving story/pace.

    I Am Jealous But This Is Entertaining
    It was my dream to join this crew for the colonization mission, but I was not picked. Kind of makes me mad because I heard one person was only picked due to a previous interpersonal relationship with another member of the crew. You truly have to know someone to even get an interview these days. So yeah, I’m mad and I’m jealous. It should have been me on this mission. Now I can only live vicariously through this podcast, and I guess it shows how good it is that I still enjoy it even though the staffing for this mission was rigged and I should be heading to the new planet instead.

    Mesmerizing show ❤️
    This show started off with little tidbits to tantalize you but when one of the voice actors starts singing you’re hooked for life. It only has a few episodes but so worth it and can’t wait to hear more from these amazing and creative people who do this from their heart and soul!!
