The Last City

Season One:

In the climate-ravaged year of 2072, Pura stands as a miraculous green haven, a geoengineered paradise that protects lucky residents from the global catastrophes of heat domes, fires, floods, and droughts. Demetria Lopez is Pura's PR fixer, tirelessly promoting the city's idyllic image. But when she stumbles upon a dark secret that underpins Pura's existence, she must decide who and what she is willing to protect.From Wondery, the makers of Academy and Dr. Death, The Last City stars Jeannie Tirado (Fairy Tale Zero), Celia Rose Gooding (Star Trek: Strange New World), Rhea Seehorn (Better Call Saul), Maury Sterling (Homeland), and Skye Lourie (The Pillars of the Earth).

Season Two:

Exiled from a world of engineered perfection, Demetria crash-lands into the brutal reality of the Outerlands. Distrusted by the defiant survivors, her only hope lies with a mysterious AGI, First Belle. But the secrets it holds could break her... or forge her into the hero she never knew she could be.

    Can’t take the Lesbian stuff
    It was awesome until they started incorporating lesbian garbage in Season 2. What a shame 😔
  • cpsteelemom
    Definitely got my attention
    This was def an attention grabber. BUT to listen the second season, and even go back and relisten to the episodes I missed because they auto played…YOU HAVE TO PAY for their personal subscription. No thanks 🙂‍↔️

  • Arpanda88
    Wonderful heartfelt storytelling
    I discovered this podcast on a whim, it is a fantastic story and the characters were really easy to grow to care for. I’ve never had a podcast make me cry before! I really hope we get to continue Demetria’s and Callie’s journey. I also would love to see this get a movie or a tv show, I think it would be visually arresting.

    Meh
    First season was good but not good enough to pay for the following seasons.

    Omggg
    Loved it I can’t believe it got me to pay for wondery plus
  • Brevbins
    Decent
    Season one hooks you in, but then season two had to bring romance into it as well as an unneeded struggle between two ends. Season two was definitely rushed or was just forced.
  • Rockylady21
    Can’t wait!
    When does season 3 come out?
  • Dark_knight_06071980

    Everything about this show is incredible! I can’t wait for season 3!
  • asdvbjnctu
    so good!!
    i LOVE LOVE LOVED this podcast!! the plot is amazing and i couldn’t have guessed the twist and turns this would take me on! i just wish the second season didn’t cost money and was free to everyone…
  • Weatherman92
    Season 3?
    Season 1 and 2 were astounding, when can we expect the next one?🙏🏼
  • #Uncalled for
    First Season was Great!!
    Loved the first season!! Second season’s fake romance was completely uncalled for!! Why couldn’t they stick to the story line…..uhhh ruined it

    Above the Rest with Soundscapes, Story, and Acting!
    I am a firm believer that going the extra mile with soundscapes *completely* makes or breaks a fiction podcast. There’s simply no comparing those of this caliber that spend the time to detail the sound of a knife cutting canvas or what a storm sounds like to navigate, or background noises like machinery and recognizable gadgets characters are talking over… and my favorite: very distinctly differentiating the narrator’s inner thoughts from what they are actually saying out loud to other characters. That last one makes so many other podcasts confusing because it’s hardly ever done right. I enjoyed the acting SO much, too. Actors are all really believable and I am high-fiving the production and direction staff here! *Everyone* did amazing - inflection and emotion are clearly conveyed but not overly “stagey”. Superb! Storyline is awesome, too! Well done. One of the best in YEARS. Top five fiction, up there with Leviathan Chronicles. 🙌 Loved this!
  • KDM950
    Solid story!
    Solid story / voice acting - loving it so far! Reminds me of QCODE fictins. Looking forward to another season!
  • Condiserate Raven
    Very interesting
    This show was spectacular. From the very first episode, I was hooked. I really hope this story finds a way to continue.
  • mckinnea
    Stunning and FRIGHTENING
    This is one of the best “weather aware” podcast stories I’ve heard. The production is stellar and the story keeps you on the edge of your seat. For those complaining that you have to pay for this - do you walk into a movie theater without paying? If you want the good stuff, you usually have to pay. I do willingly, for stories of this caliber.
  • Luerasja
    Wondery+?
    Uhhh you might as well make the entire show subscription only. Why one season free and pay for the next 🙄
  • Thetarotmindset
    I love this genre!!!
    This Dolby Atmos hits different! The best I've heard. Rhea Seehorn is amazing. The Cowboy AI character is fun! 🤠
  • katebydesign5
    Meh
    First season was very good. Second season wasn’t that great at all. The romantic aspect felt forced and like an unnecessary part of the storyline.
  • MaverickAbundance
    Interesting
    Love all of the life lessons hidden inside the events. Great Job!
  • stottstott
    AI advertisment
    It may have an AI character, but that’s not an excuse to use AI generated artwork for your advertisements.
  • any nickname1234
    Wow
    I love this, worth every penny! Please make more and similar. Absolutely amazing podcast!
  • Oneticket13
    Not what I expected (in a good way!)
    This show is fantastic! I have a completely different view than the other reviewer. I really like how the concept of "climate" is connected to everything in this world; it seems intentionally woven into the design of the city, the characters' lives, the language, and even the AI. Everyone is flawed, but in a way that makes them interesting. The ending of season one was a real tear-jerker!
  • mattsmith0622
    It’s incredibly boring and redundant
    Every line in the script includes the words, “climate mourning”, “climate ptsd”, “climate trauma”, “climate assault”, etc. Ok, we get it, your show is one big climate change virtue signal. At least you can build a better story around it.
  • Wooot134
    Actually obsessed
    I found this accidentally, to be honest. I binge listened and now I’m floundering because!?! When will there be more!?!? Second season?! More episodes!? SEND HELP WHAT DO I LISTEN TO NOW!?
  • Eloise2003
    👏🏼 🌍
    Love this series! It’s fun, It’s interesting how it doesn’t use vague metaphors for the climate crisis like a comet hitting the earth or people living underground because of a “disruption” to earth. It’s way more direct at calling out what it is. 10 stars for that 👏🏼
  • Alen Smith Ss
    Amazing
    It's make me turn into adventure
  • Carla M. B.
    Can’t wait for the other episodes to drop!
    Listened to episode 1 and have so many questions! In a good way. Also the sound design is amazing. Feels like you are in a 3D space. Very immersive. Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes. Also—which character was Rhea Seehorn? Couldn’t tell… or maybe her character is yet to come. Intrigued…
  • frank talk3
    so dope!!!
    🔥🔥🔥🔥
  • Mj6986
    Incredible
    Moving story, amazing sound design (not sure what other reviewers are talking about?). Binged in one day.
  • My name is Dave peeps
    Pay wall ?
    So you have to pay to listen to this. Why is it on here if you have to pay for it ?
  • Katie7645

    Incredible writing!
    This is the kind of content I need.
  • I am nice!
    Who Knew Climate Change Could Be So Entertaining!
    I’m mesmerized already and am only through the first two episodes… the characters are great and the plots are riveting! Recommend!
  • ahleah hook
    10/10
    Episode 4 and 6 had me in TEARS at the end.
  • jamjazzy2024
    Hooked Already
    Just listened to the first episode and can’t wait to follow the whole series! I’ve been dying for more stories that talk about climate change, and this one seems really entertaining and fun, and I’m hooked already. Starting episode two now!
  • DanielGS?
    Missing episode 3
    There is no episode 3 on Apple.

    Sound quality problems
    Cool concept the the sound quality is painful moving between left and right audio.
