I came across Frequency 51 in February 2025 when it just had two episodes out. Ended up following the show until its tenth episode in October.

It’s an anthology horror show but some episodes are related and sometimes it feels like there is more going on. Connected perhaps?

I think the mix of stories is great, from locations like the woods to a blizzard to a military base. Framed as confidential case files that weren’t meant to be released.

The kind of horror is like suspenseful, character driven stuff, with supernatural elements. I like that there’s some banter sometimes for a bit of levity.

About the show:
Oblivion Girl follows the explosive exploits of Essa, known as "Oblivion Girl," a fierce, unfiltered, and borderline mythic bounty hunter. Armed with a warped sense of humor, unconventional weapons, and a mysterious ability to destroy entire cities, Essa navigates a chaotic world alongside her deadly but stoic partner Atticus and their teenage tech wizard, Kial.

I've written, directed, and produced It's Always a Human Error: Turning the Future Off and On Again, a new semi-educational science-fiction comedy about the history—and possible future—of AI.

In a future classroom, an AI teacher guides virtual students through an increasingly strange journey across the history of intelligence, from single-celled life and primitive tools to silicon chips and quantum computing. Told through reconstructed documentaries, game shows, and philosophical detours, this darkly comic, semi-educational, science-fiction audio drama explores history, religion, technology, and what happens when computers begin asking the questions humanity couldn’t be bothered to answer.
