The story may turn out to be great but unfortunately I could hardly make it through the first episode due to such heavy use of lopsided left/right volume balancing between ears. It seemed like half of the time a voice was present it was entirely exclusive to either the left or right side, enough to be disorienting and feel very unnatural. It was distracting enough that I could hardly follow the story, though it seemed to be setting up for an interesting premise if you can make it through the audio balancing issues.

I can't say enough good things about The Program Audio Series! The premise of the show is hard to explain quickly but, basically, The Program is to podcasts and Black Mirror is to television - it's almost redefined a new genre for itself. The writing is really engaging and the production is impressive for such a small team. This is one of the few shows I support on patreon because I hope IMS never stops producing it - I'm consistently blown away by each new release. The Program is well worth your time!

WOW this is an amazing audio drama. The production is fantastic and the writing/characters had me hooked the entire time - I can't wait for the final season! If you've already listened through and are caught up on The White Vault, also check out the other series created by the same team ("Vast Horizon" and "Liberty").
