Fiction podcasts have been on the rise lately, but I've found it very difficult to connect to most of them. But The Bright Sessions has hooked me in, with a great mix of intriguing science fiction premise, novel (but very natural) format, and serialization.
Each episode is a therapy session with a supernatural individual learning to deal with their super power (and the first season is following the ongoing sessions of 3 characters). It's a set of character studies, but it's also an interesting exploration of the consequences of flashy world-threatening powers on the emotions and turmoils of daily life.
I'm featuring the first episode because it's definitely worth starting from the beginning, and I hope you get hooked. I've really enjoyed the first 6 episodes, and I'm excited to see where this podcast goes.
