1.6: Praxis

In the city of New Candler, magic is scarce by design. A tech mogul wants to keep it that way. And a magic user wants freedom. Welcome to New Candler, cultural epicenter of the United States. | VALENCE is a serial fiction podcast meant for adult audiences. See our website for transcripts and content warnings for each episode.

This is exactly what kind of podcast I enjoy: queer people take on capitalism and the surveillance state. The voice actors are great. The story is exciting. The characters are intriguing. It’s not perfect but what small podcast is? It’s definitely worth a try...

Be gay do crime

Love the podcast, it&#39;s such a good production and I love pretty much everything about it. Nico is probably my favorite character honestly and I&#39;m so ready for more of him. The mental health stuff is super good and LIam&#39;s inner monologue definitely reflects a more exaggerated version of the one we all have but it really hits home

Excited for more!
