University of the Surreal

Narrated surrealist workplace satire

This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Here's the last note we made on May 04, 2026, which may nor may not be helpful: 1 or more full seasons are binge-ready (no more story episodes will be added, but more seasons are planned, perhaps releasing now) Major plot points remain unresolved. Subsequent seasons are required to enjoy the story. (i.e., this season ends on a massive cliffhanger)

Show synopsis

Genrative AI tools were used to create a material portion of this show.

A gigantic Goldfish Bowl, three stories high, has appeared overnight in the university quad. No one knows where it came from. No one knows what it means. But the fish need feeding, a committee has been formed to determine how many subcommittees the situation requires, and somewhere in the Administration Building, a college president is too busy drowning in his inbox to look up.

Welcome to the University of the Surreal, a campus where the impossible keeps happening — and somehow, that’s not even the strangest part.

Submitter notes

Surreal fiction set on a campus that keeps getting stranger, grounded in the author's experience consulting with hundreds of university leaders. BIPOC woman creator.
