A good friend of mine has been working on a scifi audio drama and has launched a Kickstarter to raise the funds needed to make it. I'm helping out with the videos and voicing one of the characters and from everything I've seen, the show is going to be great fun. I wanted to share the project here as I thought many of you would be interested in the show and might be able to help us out.

From the Kickstarter page:
Quote:
Ray Gunn and Starburst is a sci-fi comedy about two unlikely heroes finding their way in a galaxy ruled by a shockingly evil corporation called Darkleys. Tale as old as time, yes? Well, exactly, sci-fi/adventure stories are built on tropes and stereotypes, so how about taking all those tropes and mixing them up a bit. Let’s take away that dashing space pirate captain and replace him with a newly divorced forty-something, living in a wreck of a spaceship and completely unable to hold his own in a fight. On top of that he’s been dragged along with a rowdy teenage girl, who has heroism quite literally written through her DNA and her broken AI, made more of sarcasm than binary coding, and you have a recipe for disaster...uh, I mean, adventure. Ray may have absolutely no wish to become a hero but he hasn’t quite ruled out the idea of being a sidekick.

There's a video talking more about the project and you can listen to the pilot episode (with a different cast) you can download and listen to if you want to get a better idea of the show.

As I write this, we're about 10% funded but any support you guys can offer would be most appreciated!

I thought I'd give an update on the project. We got funded, recorded everything and the episodes have just been released for free!

If anyone would like to listen, they're available through the website. Enjoy!
