However, instead of a cassette tape (or usb for those under 50), it's a signal that we picked up from space. The signal consists of data packets with an encryption key. The packets consists of Pen-Pal style correspondence sent back and forth between two planets. Because of the technology at the time of the correspondance, it takes a light year before the message arrives from one person to the other. The delay allows for the two pen pals to grow up, have families, etc. even though there is only a dozen exchanges. The two correspondents develop a warm friendship even though there are marked difference between their cultures. However, as the correspondence is shared with the rest of their planet, they find that they are not the makers of history but were made by history.*I enjoyed season one and look forward to season two. The writing is well done. I particularly like the small details that help give the listener a sense of the lifestyles of our two protagonist like how they play with their pets or the nightly wishes of children.The two lead voice actors are wonderful and they are ably support by most of the rest of the cast. Something the director might consider for season, even though the voice actor only has one or two lines, a false note can be quite jarring.The sound was of high quality but not particularly creative. Authors not used to audio drana often use narration instead of sound to help set the scene. I kept thinking that few well placed sound effects could have made the story a little richer.And it is a wonderful story worth setting some time aside in your busy day just to listen to it.Disclaimer: Those who can do.Those who can"t, teach.Those who can't teach criticize.I am in the latter category. George Nathan said "The quality of a critic is best to be appraised by the quality of his enemies. To analyze his worth it is only necessary to analyze the worth of those who detest him". Please disagree with me so I can demonstrate their worth.😁
