Artwork by Lee Sullivan

If you have yet to purchase one of the best science fiction audiodramas ever to exist, The Minister of Chance (@MinisterChance), you no longer have any excuse to not listen to this superbly written and produced masterpiece. It is now available as a FREE PODCAST!

Yes, you read that correctly. Radio Static has made the switch from a produce-episodes-as-funds-are-available-through-purchase model to a produce-episodes-as-donations-allow model.

If you are unfamiliar with The Minister Of Chance it is a spin-off of the BBC Doctor Who audiodrama Death Comes To Time, written, directed and produced by Dan Freeman (@SageofTheWaves). In this world, science is illegal and magic rules. The cast of The Minister Of Chance is second to none:

Julian Wadham as The Minister. Other credits include: The English Patient, The Madness Of King George, War Horse, The Iron Lady and Downton Abbey. (LINKS: IMDB profile | Facebook profile)
