BFDW: Bernice Summerfield: Buried Treasures
e02: Closure
That, on the other hand, is nothing short of a masterpiece. I'm almost tempted not to spoil it away in a slim chance you ever listen to this. Nevertheless, a synopsis alone should be interesting enough:
Bernice, a historian and an archeologist, goes back in time to when a ruthless dictator was a baby. There, she meets his mother. They talk.
How brilliant is this? I love how they spin the usual trope to have a meaningful story about the nature of violence and its cyclical nature, how it affects us through generation and how to break out of it. Today especially it hits very hard. 5/5, it's the best a short-form sci-fi can be.
