Synopsis:

Peer into the future in The Interstellar Age, a science fiction podcast chronicling humanity’s epic journey to the stars. In this series, a fictional 26th century historian looks back on the dramatic events that defined our “interstellar age,” from Earth’s Third World War, to first contact with alien intelligences, to exploration, colonization, and the star-spanning conflicts that shaped the galaxy.

Set in the universe of author Dylan McFadyen’s Si Vis Astra series, The Interstellar Age uses gripping narratives to bring to life centuries of richly imagined future history, developed over two decades. Whether you’re a fan of epic history (real or imagined), military sci-fi, or simply exploring humanity’s future in space, The Interstellar Age offers a thrilling glimpse into a possible tomorrow.
