Episode 4: B, Robot

In which an unfamiliar ship lands on The Fairgrounds, turning out to contain two "scien-technicians" from the species known as "The Luck Navigators," whose entire technology is based on riding waves of Luck and it's opposite, which they refer to by the technical term "Suck."

Episode 10: Our Man in the Fairgrounds

An epic science-fiction sitcom for your ears about an unlikely human/alien friendship in the unluckiest place in Human space.It is the mid-26th Century. John B, a humble repairman and ”former human” (having lost his legal status as such), has left the Earth for mysterious reasons. He is perhaps the unluckiest being in Human space.He has wound up at the Human Exchange Concourse, or the ”HEC,” once the site of Humanity’s First Galactic Fair. It was the biggest flop in Human history. ”The Fairgrounds” is perhaps the unluckiest place in Human space. You don’t go there, you end up there.John’s luck seems to have changed when he gets a good apartment at an amazingly reasonable price only to find his roommate is Althaar, an Iltorian, who is determined to befriend a Human. (Iltorians are the kindest, nicest species in all known space, and natural diplomats, beloved by almost all, but their slightest presence causes Humans to instinctively respond with panic, fear, disgust, nausea, and loss of bodily functions).Can a Human and Iltorian live together without one of them driving the other crazy?

In which John B attempts a simple errand: returning the talking (and annoying) 3-headed "Cockathreece" that he was sent instead of the goldfish he wanted from one side of a station level to the other in under an hour. But of course, it's The Fairgrounds, which means a complicated set of detours around a scavenger hunt, broken elevators, threats from cookie-selling ScoutBots, a full-on battle between Sanitation Fusiliers and the deadly Vent Biters, an anti-gravity Twister match, and a rowboat trip to The Old Mill (who puts a lake in a space station?). All while enduring the insults of the relentless Cockathreece.     EPISODE ELEVEN "The Merciless Errand" written by John Amir and Lex Friedman   featuring Berit Johnson as Althaar, Hapless Customer, ScoutBot 2, Sopon, Alien Barfly, Paintball Player John Amir as John B Chris Lee as Chip Frinkel, STEMBro 2 Amanda La Pergola as Mrs. Frondrinax, Llama, Llama-Wrangler, Cockathreece 2 Zuri Washington as Delilah "Dee" Mallory, Shipping Bot, ScoutBot 3 Alyssa Simon as Lieutenant-Commander Frallen-Br'ar Ivanna Cullinan as Commander Torianna, Fidorian 2 Eli Ganias as H.F., Fidorian 3 Derrick Peterson as Xtopps with Ian W.

Althaar's Very-Special First-Season Musical EP!

In which we return to The Fairgrounds after six months to find the crew apparently happier and in considerably less danger, with no life-threatening incidents having happened for many weeks, which of course means that no one is comfortable, everyone is bored or suspicious, and, given the normally disaster-prone station, all the residents are just waiting for the other shoe to drop. And during one work cycle, a number of crew members, worried about this strange lack of turmoil, individually take extra precautions against anything going wrong, resulting, of course, in an unexpected domino effect to an unpleasant conclusion.     EPISODE FOURTEEN "The Other Shoe" written by Ian W.

Episode 15: A Simple Game of SuperNova

In which Drop Time comes again to The Fairgrounds, though several newcomers to the station have no idea what this period -- when the station drops a certain amount of days from the calendar to get in line with Earth's -- means for them. For John B, it means his birthday is getting skipped, for Dee, it means a cruel prank regarding a non-binding contract, for the energy being Lt. Frall, it means trying to drink coffee and pouring it on the floor, and for most of the crew, it means a time to slack off and ignore all rules. An angry John B searches for the hidden Timekeeping Central department, to discover the secret of The Algorithm that decides when Drop Time occurs, while H.F. takes Dee on a tour of several secret places on the station only available to the public during Drop Time.     EPISODE SIXTEEN "Big Numbers and Little Science" written by Linus Gelber   featuring   Berit Johnson as Althaar, Herbert, Sopon, Alien Barfly, Video Kid John Amir as John B, Sanitation Grunt, Video Kid  Ivanna Cullinan as Commander Mindy Torianna   Alyssa Simon as Lieutenant-Commander Frallen-Br'ar, Indistinct Caller     Derrick Peterson as Xtopps, HECNET Responder, Alien Duck   Chris Lee as Chip Frinkel, Barry the Pilot         Zuri Washington as Delilah "Dee" Mallory, Video Kid     Eli Ganias as Hardyfox "H.F."

Episode 16: Big Numbers and Little Science

In which the "Steves" from an annoying but highly motivated and skilled capitalist species, the Dilurians, come to The Fairgrounds, renting a downshifted and unused level, from which they proceed to wreak havoc across the entire space station. As their new business, Cadabra, expands rapidly from selling personalized smells, they begin, in less than a day, to gentrify across the station, wiping out all the beloved homegrown businesses and replacing them with more-convenient apps providing far worse service. On top of it, Commander Torianna discovers she will have to avert an actual massacre as the Dilurians attempt to expand into the sector of the Pudendar, a proud and exiled species of warrior artists uninterested in and offended by the commercial offerings.     EPISODE SEVENTEEN "The Sweet Smell of the Fairgrounds" written by Amanda La Pergola and Philip Cruise   featuring        Zuri Washington as Delilah "Dee" Mallory, Docking Clerk, X.Z.

Episode 17: The Sweet Smell of the Fairgrounds

In which John B, on yet another boring and routine EVA mission to fix a very small wire on the outside of The Fairgrounds, is sent hurling away from the space station by a chance explosion. As John and the bridge crew attempt in vain to find a way to bring him back (that won't kill him), all of his other friends on The Fairgrounds show up on the bridge to say hello (for no logical reason), and John suspects that, despite their assurances, it's really to say a very final goodbye. And for some reason or reasons, neither Frall nor Althaar seem to be around.     EPISODE EIGHTEEN "Space Hat with Air" written by Ian W.

In which John B, on yet another boring and routine EVA mission to fix a very small wire on the outside of The Fairgrounds, is sent hurling away from the space station by a chance explosion. As John and the bridge crew attempt in vain to find a way to bring him back (that won't kill him), all of his other friends on The Fairgrounds show up on the bridge to say hello (for no logical reason), and John suspects that, despite their assurances, it's really to say a very final goodbye. And for some reason or reasons, neither Frall nor Althaar seem to be around.     EPISODE EIGHTEEN "Space Hat with Air" written by Ian W.

Episode 18: Space Hat with Air

Extremely funny!!! Great story and great voice actors.  I highly recommend

Love this

It reminds me of Firesign Theatre&#39;s NICK DANGER.

Very funny!

An epic science-fiction sitcom for your ears about an unlikely human/alien friendship in the unluckiest place in Human space. It is the mid-26th Century. John B, a humble repairman and ”former human” (having lost his legal status as such), has left the Earth for mysterious reasons. He is perhaps the unluckiest being in Human space. He has wound up at the Human Exchange Concourse, or the ”HEC,” once the site of Humanity’s First Galactic Fair. It was the biggest flop in Human history. ”The Fairgrounds” is perhaps the unluckiest place in Human space. You don’t go there, you end up there. John’s luck seems to have changed when he gets a good apartment at an amazingly reasonable price only to find his roommate is Althaar, an Iltorian, who is determined to befriend a Human. (Iltorians are the kindest, nicest species in all known space, and natural diplomats, beloved by almost all, but their slightest presence causes Humans to instinctively respond with panic, fear, disgust, nausea, and loss of bodily functions). Can a Human and Iltorian live together without one of them driving the other crazy?
