Chain of Being

About this podcast

Chain of Being is a mythic science fiction podcast which is a glimpse into the future: where gods control the cosmos and mortals are left to fend for themselves in a vast, indifferent universe. Follow the immortal Adam (of eden fame) as he hunts down an extra-universal threat whilst also confronting his past. Set in an extensive universe that blends religious fantasy elements with space opera science fiction. All lovingly written and sound designed by an 18 year old student from south london and featuring a range of voice acting talent.

1 year of CoB Q&A!
In which David Orión interviews Cai Gwilym Pritchard (creator of chain of being) about the origins of CoB, his influences, and much more. Big thanks to everyone who submitted questions, this was really fun, I hope this is as interesting to listen to as it was to do. It's hard to believe I have been doing this podcast for a year now, it almost doesn't feel quite real. But regardless thank you for joining me on this journey, be it from when I started or if you've only just joined, I am greatly appreciative of your presence. Thank you. -Cai (recorded over discord on 24/10/2020 @10:00AM)
