Zero Hours
Long Story Short ProductionsZero Hours is an anthology series from Long Story Short Productions, where every story is a different take on the end of the world - or at least something that feels like the end of the world. Each episode is organized around a kind of apocalypse, whether the cataclysm is planetary or personal, and each episode is also set in succeeding centuries, with 99-year intervals separating them.

Reviews
Fans of Wolf 359 will love this. I found Zero Hours before Wolf and really enjoyed the conceit of the show. After finishing Wolf, I came back to Zero and it was even more satisfying.
Some stories are better than others, but even the ones I wasn't crazy about were well produced and obvious labors of love between creatives with a deep and abiding affection for one another. Sometimes a peek behind the curtain enhances the experience of a story instead of taking you out of it.
Podchaser43 years agoWill GolihewAwesome take on "the end of the world". Got a little existential for my anxiety but it was great story telling.
Podchaser43 years agoFiona- If Black Mirror was a Podcast
I love this podcast. Everything about it and everyone involved. The authors and vocal talent as well as sound & editors are everything. EVERYTHING, I SAY. Let’s get married. We can turn TRQ into one big polycule. Or cult. Or both. Wellll you can’t rely on me for very much. I’m not consistent or smart. But I can reliably testify when I like a thing. And oh boy do I like this and all involved. Enough to marry it. That bears repeating. I’m just saying the offer’s on the table…. 🙃

Stories: range from B to A-
Zero Hours is an anthology series with one or two voice actors, acting not narrating. According to the podcast description, each story is about something that feels like the end of the world, personally or globally. One story, my favorite, is about a woman who hates celebrating her birthday and comes home to her partner, who wants to celebrate her birthday. However, its really about life after a series of events... more
Podchaser44 years agoRoseann White- Mostly good
Mostly good. I really enjoyed the stories and the concepts. Very twilight zone ish, even if they aren’t always sci fi or fantasy.
The acting is… rough. Not every character has to be super sarcastic to be relatable. Skip the first one, it’s almost unlistenable. Solid other than that.
Apple Podcasts3Fronzel NeekburmUnited States4 years ago - Creative & entertaining
I loved the stories in the podcast. I wish they would make more. Entertaining, imaginative, heartbreaking, funny & well written.
Apple Podcasts5AccesetteUnited States4 years ago I expected nothing less than brilliant from this and wasn't disappointed. Funny, disappointing, sad, bittersweet, heartbreaking, hopeful. Snapshots of what has been and what could be. Loved every moment.
Podchaser55 years agosiii- Biggest waste of time.
There’s 48 minutes I can’t get back.
Apple Podcasts1Shane WalnutUnited States5 years ago - Ugh
Was moderately enjoyable until they embraced political extremists in ep 4. Making a murderous Marxist as a hero. Encouraging political violence is fine as log as it is radically left.
Apple Podcasts2Monkey TrickUnited States5 years ago - Absolutely Stunning
Everything you could ever want from a podcast; its fantastical, hauntingly realistic, and beautifully portrays the best and worst of mankind. This podcast has believable characters throughout, all of which are easy to relate to. The last episode beautifully ties up the first season and brought genuine tears to my eyes. I cannot reccomend it enough.
Apple Podcasts5ya boi was takenUnited States5 years ago - Bold, Imaginative, Apocalyptic
This show was everything I wanted out of something like Black Mirror or the Twilight Zone. The stories all felt powerful, intriguing, and bold. The production value is fantastic, and pretty much everything about the show is done extremely well.
Love it!
