About this listen

After 38 episodes, countless dystopias, and more late-night existential spirals than we can count, Dystopedia comes to an end.

In this final episode, we sit down for one last unstructured conversation to reflect on the journey. We revisit the books, films, games, and ideas that stayed with us long after the microphones were turned off. From 28 Days Later, RoboCop, and The Machine Stops to Omelas, The Lottery, and everything in between, we look back on the episodes that challenged us, surprised us, frustrated us, and changed how we think about the world.

There’s no deep research this time. Just memories, laughs, regrets over episodes we never got to like The Matrix, The Truman Show, and Fallout, and honest reflection on what grappling with dystopian fiction taught us about power, systems, complicity, consumption, and human nature.

This is a loose, candid farewell episode about curiosity, burnout, learning in public, and why these stories matter, especially now.

Thanks for listening, thinking, and walking with us through the ruins.

This is how it ends.
