| ars PARADOXICA (Podcast) | comment |
Described by the creators themselves as a "time-travel tragedy podcast," ars PARADOXICA is a love letter to physics, fiction, and the future. It's a disorienting journey through spacetime and the Cold War. It's a tome of secret history you stumbled across in a library in the dead of night.It's also a serial audio drama.When an experiment with an antigravity generator in a time much like our own goes horribly awry, Dr. Sally Grissom finds herself on the grounds of the Philadelphia Experiment, stranded in the 1940s, suspected of being a spy, and entrenched in the activities of a clandestine branch of the US government. With nowhere else to go, and considered a security risk by the government, Dr. Grissom lets herself be taken to the isolated town of Polvo, New Mexico - a research facility owned by ODAR, the Office Of Developed Anomalous Research.The stated goal of the town is to work on weird science that can tip the balance of power in the 1940s - which, with Grissom's arrival, soon refocuses to fixing the antigravity generator and impromptu time machine. For Science!, and for the betterment of mankind (as America sees fit). It's all fun and games, seemingly, with Sally attempting to fit into the world of the 1940s and get home...Until it's not, as the podcast deals with the consequences of the actions of Dr. Grissom and those who work with her, the bodies keep coming up, and in the background ODAR is using the time machine for its own profit, reforming itself into something far more sinister as Grissom, our unwitting time traveler, is caught in the mess.Episodes are, at the behest of the creators, to be listened to sequentially. The podcast can and comfortably has upended the entire status quo at least three times so far, so beware of twists in abundance. | |

No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel | |
| ars PARADOXICA (Podcast) / int_1f343bac | comment |
No Equal-Opportunity Time Travel: Comes up multiple times due to having multiple time-traveling non-white characters: When Nikhil and Sally go on a road trip together, Nikhil gets some... interesting reactions from the locals. Carmen through her travels with the rest of the Plasticity kids finds significantly more difficulty living in past decades than the white-passing Petra, demonstrated early on when Petra is able to purchase items freely from a store in the 1980s with no trouble, while Carmen is regarded with extreme suspicion by the store clerk, who tries to "encourage" her to leave the store. This culminates in a particularly tear-jerking example when Petra asks Carmen to leave ODAR to live with her in the 1950s, but Carmen angrily states that she can't because living in the 1950s would be disastrous for her since she looks more obviously Latina than Petra. | |

We Used to Be Friends: Very common in this show - many people's relationships have been broken by the Timepiece's influence. Anthony's wife left him. Sally's distancing herself as far as possible from ODAR... Jack doesn't want anything to do with ODAR either... the only remaining Butterfly-immune children from episode 17 have parted ways... | |

Deconstructed Trope: Yep. Wacky sci-fi adventures have consequences in Ars Paradoxica. Head injuries lead to chronic pain and alcohol abuse, continually being a Manipulative Bastard backfires violently on ODAR's leader, increasingly unethical experiments prompt more than one character to declare Screw This, I'm Out of Here!, the Time Travel can cause severe brain damage, handing incredibly powerful new inventions over to the government without considering the fallout leads to the government abusing those inventions, and that's the tip of the iceberg. | |

Screw This, I'm Outta Here | |
| ars PARADOXICA (Podcast) / int_d9cf40fa | comment |
Screw This, I'm Outta Here: Prevalent to the point of perhaps being (part of?) a central theme. Many characters attempt to stay with ODAR for various reasons, hoping that they can change it for the better, use time travel to help the world, and otherwise make a positive impact. This usually fails in some way, with the characters realizing just how little they're capable of doing, or how incapable they are of fixing something that is inherently broken, and leave for something else, eventually finding themselves happier. Examples include: Jack Wyatt, deeply afraid of his work, abruptly leaves Point Of Exile with the waitress he loves. Considering what ODAR got up to, this is probably for the best. He only comes back in the last 2 episodes of the show. Sally has stepped down from protagonist duties and turned her back on ODAR as of episode 16. She comes back, of course. Helen Partridge leaves ODAR behind for good to become a singer. Lou Gaines gives up on being an ODAR agent to become a teacher, and finds himself much happier. Esther leaves ODAR to be with Bridget The ending of the podcast has Petra, Sally, and her time duplicate destroying the Timepiece and ending ODAR before it can ever exist, surmising (perhaps correctly) that the world is better off without it. | |

Ensemble Cast: Sally isn't the only protagonist by now - there's a fairly large cast of other characters that've gotten their own focus episodes. | |
