What They’re Saying:
- Series director Kimberly Senior: “Working in the aural sphere challenges us all, artists and listeners, to expand our imaginations. The series is equal parts hilarious and deeply moving, navigating big questions around grief, power, loyalty, and trust. Directing the final installment and bringing together the astounding talent from previous episodes made for a deeply textured experience with all the webs of relationships and stories we've developed over the series.”
- Ellie Pyle, Digital Media Executive Director at Marvel: “One of the most thrilling aspects of Marvel storytelling — whether as an audience or a creator — is when separate story threads weave together to create something rewarding for fans, that still somehow stands alone. This series unites talent from across all our Wastelanders podcasts for a truly epic team-up.”
