    Introducing: Limited Capacity

    Introducing: Limited Capacity

    Limited Capacity is a collection of six short stories about the strange and twisted ways we interact with the internet, and with each other. Each immersive episode is packed with intimate and jarring stories that are both completely familiar and somehow confoundingly alien. It’s like Black Mirror for your ears. From the fiendishly clever mind of Rob Norman, co-creator of the hit podcast Personal Best. More episodes are available at: smarturl.it/limitedcapacity

Love this! Is it coming back??!!!

This show and Jonathan Goldstein’s shows make me realize how wonderful Canada is.

Silly and fun while also tackling actual issues. How do they do it?

Oh Canada! 🇨🇦

Please come back!

Baby come back

Please bring this show back. I find myself smiling multiple times every episode. I heard this described as Nathan for You in podcast form and it is, but less cringey. It’s heartwarming and humorous and I love listening.
