A brand new scripted audio series that just launched this year, NPRmageddon is “what National Public Radio will sound like after the apocalypse,” the team explains.
NPRmageddon is a ten-part post-apocalyptic sci-fi arthouse radio show audio drama adjective-rich podcast in the style of public radio, broadcast from the United States of “Lost” Angeles.
Creators Bryan Keithley and Peter Podgursky tell Save the Cat, “We based our storytelling on how modern media operates and what National Public Radio sounds like now.
“Our approach with NPRmageddon was to give our listeners the good stuff—to lean on one-off stories heavy on science fiction and horror tropes, but to push those tropes through the lens of public media journalism. Step through a typical episode of NPRmageddon, and you’ll find a delicious selection of news-y mayhem worthy of any headline-grabbing lineup from the real world—from marauding mutants to rogue AI’s to parasitic pulsating brains.”
NPRmageddon plunges you into a post-apocalyptic hellscape in the most hilarious way possible, thanks to immersive 3D audio and a cast of over 80 actors. The roster includes
- John de Lancie (Star Trek TNG)
- Jello Biafra (The Dead Kennedys)
- Erika Ishii (Apex Legends)
- Andrew Bowser (Onyx the Fortuitous and the Talisman of Souls)
- Barbara Goodson (Rita Repulsa from The Power Rangers)
- Betsy Baker (The Evil Dead)
- Tay Zonday (Chocolate Rain)
- Hart D. Fisher (Boneyard Press Outlaw Comics Publisher)
- Kelsey Gunn (Dude Bro Party Massacre 3)
- Michael Rousselet (Dude Bro Party Massacre 3)
- and many more…
NPRmageddon also marks what are likely the last performances of prolific actor and comedian Fred Willard as well as legendary science-fiction author Harlan Ellison.
