AFTERGLOW
EPISODE 1 - Welcome to Afterglow
Episode Length 26:15
--Podcast description--
The year is 21XX. My name is Nova and I am running out of time. I was a freedom fighter trying to make a brighter future for everyone then it all went wrong. Now everything’s changed and with security forces on my tail, I make a mad dash through Vancouver, British Columbia hoping to find a new life…
--Episode description--
Lost and alone in the rain, I take a chance on a neon sign and run into a small bar called Afterglow. Surprisingly enough, the drinks are served by humans instead of the standard bartending bots. What’s more, the enigmatic owner wants to hire me as the newest bartender. I’ve never made a drink before in my life but she seems to be able to keep me safe from security. What other choice do I have?
