Loyal Policies- we all have our place in HartLife. The Directors guide us, fulfilling their immortal will as our Founders and Protectors. StreetSafe observes us at all times, making sure we are true in action to what resides in all of our hearts. The Actuaries prognosticate, prophesying the continued success of the Company as its will resounds through the ages.It is a M.O.L.E.'s job to serve, to follow orders, and to obey. Nothing else. Listen with horror as one M.O.L.E. violates this sacred dictum, with terrifying results.

Step into a world where the last vestiges of society cling to life beneath the ruins of a forgotten metropolis. Our Fair City, brought to you by Audacious Machine Creative, is a richly woven audio drama that blends speculative science with character-driven fiction. This isn't a grim survival slog; it's a campy, often humorous look at life after everything falls apart, where the absurdities of bureaucracy and corporate culture persist even in the dust. Each episode pulls you deeper into the tunnels and factions of this peculiar community, exploring the strange science and even stranger people who define its daily rhythms. You'll hear the echoes of old-world folly and the resilient, flawed humanity trying to build something new. The podcast thrives on its unique tone-a balance of genuine stakes and a wink at the genre's conventions. Tune in for a serialized story that feels both wildly imaginative and oddly familiar, a testament to the creative vision of its original producers at HartLife NFP. It's a specific and engaging escape, perfect for anyone who enjoys their fiction with a dash of the post-apocalyptic and a strong sense of place.
