Man In Space

***All eight season one episodes now available!!*** Nuclear catastrophe has struck Earth, leaving Commander Kelly all alone on a small space station orbiting the planet, without contact. It's been 154 days since the catastrophe. 154 days since communication has been severed. With his resources and fight to go on both dwindling, each episode delivers a new audio log from Kelly. Each entry we learn more about his past, as his present torpedoes into an adventure he never could have imagined. Dive into the psyche of a man, alone adrift in space, as he fights not only for a way to survive but for a reason to. Featuring aliens, faraway worlds, and one man's search for meaning, “Man In Space" is a journey that takes place both out across the stars and inward into oneself. An intimate, immersive journey taken together by the listener and protagonist. Best experienced on a nighttime stroll, a long car ride, or alone in the dark. Let our show transport you. Written and Produced by Dillan Cohen, Starring Michael Pate, with Original Music by Nico Sleator and Sound Design by Graeme Hales.
