Clinical Space is an audio fiction podcast about the struggles, joys, and daily life of Aja Graves, the counseling officer aboard an exploratory Astro Navy starship. It takes a character-focused approach to familiar themes and plot elements from science fiction.

The trailer you heard at the end of this episode is for Travelling Light, a queer and cosy science fantasy podcast about finding common ground and celebrating difference. It's a brilliant show with beautiful art, and I can't recommend it highly enough (for more reasons than just Óli I'm sure, although they're a big portion of it (oh Óli, my beloved)). You can visit the show's website here, and you can also join me in following its creator HR Owen on Tumblr and Bluesky.

Are you getting settled in?


Haven Daye excitedly presents Clinical Space, a cozy and cerebral science fiction podcast that explores the mental state of those that explore the stars, through the eyes of the one who's meant to keep them afloat, metaphorically speaking. This trailer episode features both a canonical journal entry from the main character, Dr. Graves, as well as a note from the author about the show in general. We hope you enjoy.
