“Broadcasting. This is Roger Bragado-Fischer,
Communications, Moonbase Theta.”
A new podcast series from Monkeyman Productions.
It is 2098. The Moonbase program, owned and operated by corporate enclaves back on Earth, has been determined unprofitable. The last base, Theta, is twenty weeks from being decommissioned. Most of the crew is in stasis awaiting retrieval.
In a series of weekly broadcasts, Roger Bragado-Fischer, Communications, reports to management. He counts down to the scheduled end with a wry sense of humour, reporting on the crew’s progress, the frustrations and isolation caused by the shutdown, and the bits of beauty and hope still available. Each broadcast ends with a personal message to his husband, Alexandre, waiting for his return.
