    The Mechadova Engine is crowdfunding! Support this new show at kck.st/4aFhye6 The Mechadova Engine is an upcoming 15-episode queer steampunk audio drama. The story follows Log, who has spent their entire life, as far as they can remember, alone inside a single library train carriage in the sky. Their only knowledge of the outside world is limited to books from a long time ago on earth. Log has never thought to question their existence or the world outside, until one day their carriage stops. Here, they meet Tinker, a member of a resistance group, who turns their world upside down. It's a story about meaningless structures, the power of community, and how knowledge is preserved and retold.

I was really hoping this was for kids, but it's not. In the first episode they said "hell". Then by the 3rd episode they're talking about how you don't have a be a boy or girl but can be non-binary instead. I can't listen anymore. The storytelling and acting are really fun but it just won't work for me.

Not really for kids
