15 years ago, a girl named Beca Orlofsky stepped into the sky and exploded. Over the course of the following week, 99% of every living human on the planet gained a super-power. Now, podcaster Joe Pollard travels the world, interviewing people who went to sleep ordinary and woke up as something else.

Why listen

The Phone Booth is a brilliantly crafted sci-fi narrative where 99% of humanity suddenly gained superpowers and nobody was ready for it. Through intimate interviews with ordinary people whose lives were shattered and transformed by B-Day, the show explores the psychological, philosophical, and deeply human consequences of an impossible world. Each episode peels back layers of a larger mystery while standing as its own compelling character study.
