About the Podcast
Falling Forward is a 20-part sci-fi micro about love, hubris, and coding too close to the sun.Falling Forward follows Icarus' efforts to take down Labyrinth Corporation after its founder, Theseus, stole tech from Icarus' family. Fueled by rage at the death of his aunt Ariadne and ignoring the cautionary advice from his dad Daedalus, Icarus is set on destruction. But will it be the destruction of Labyrinth, or the destruction of Icarus?
"Can you make an entire podcast in a day? Tal Minear has gathered a team of fantastics to find out with the modern day, anticapitalist take on Greek Mythology, an audio drama Follow Forward. It follows Icarus' efforts to take down Labyrinth Corporation after its founder, Theseus, stole tech from Icarus' family. (Sounds ambitious to throw together in a day, no? And I must say the answer to Tal’s question is yes, and that it can be really good!) It’s a quick journey and you can tell the people making it had so much fun doing it. It’s smart and the fun is contagious." - Lauren Passell of Podcast the Newsletter
