On the 16th June, 2024, Strange New Worlds and Spaced Out Tales will proudly be airing the first episode of our 7-episode mini-series, The Fall and Partial Re-emergence of The Dysfunctional 5.

But fear not, we haven't ditched the regular anthology format of the show, this is purely a bit of bonus content for you all to tide you over until season 3 of the show returns.

Enjoy!

This is our second episode swap, and we're very happy to have an episode of the Tales from the Author anthology podcast, courtesy of our friend Antonio from Giant Monster Productions.

Hubris

A large group of humans are being transported in cryosleep by a seemingly benevolant alien race to their home planet, following an invitation by the aliens to share their planetary paradise with humanity.

But when one of the humans prematurely awakens from cryosleep en-route, he discovers that the aliens motives may not have been as friendly as it first appeared...

Episode 14 - The Beast From Uranus

An authentically produced comedy parody of a 1950s Sci-Fi Radio Play, complete with crackly audio, outdated sexist attitudes, gratuitous mansplaining, and loaded to the gunwales with as many innuendos as we could manage.

The crew of the USS Penetrator, the most advanced spaceship ever built, undertake their maiden voyage - to probe Uranus for signs of an incredible energy source that could revolutionise human technology.

But they find something far more dangerous waiting for them in the murky depths of Uranus...

In a time when superheroes, once the last bastion of heroism and justice, are on a steep decline, humanity faces an unprecedented threat from the world's most evil Super villain, Dr Vengeance!

Only a team of five not-so-superheroes, a hastily assembled group of miscreants and deviants, stand in his way.

Glitch

A small group of astronauts have been chosen to crew the first manned space voyage to Mars. Or have they? The crew knows there is a 50% chance they could merely be participating in a realistic computer simulation of the mission, an analog for the real crew.

But before they discover the truth, contact with Earth is lost part way through their journey - suggesting something catastrophic has happened back home.

But are they out in space, facing the prospect of returning to a doomed planet? Or are they actually on Earth, locked in a simulation while the real world burns around them?

Is Granite still looking for love - and has he been looking for it in all the wrong places?

A bit of a bonus episode for you.

The cast and production crew of Strange New Worls and Spaced Out Tales submitted an entry into the 11th Hour Audio Challenge this year. And we've decided to make that one-off episode available here on the feed.

It's something of a departure from our usual Sci-Fi fare, but we hope you'll enjoy it, and that it will tide you over until the release of Season 2 in the New Year.

Enjoy :)

The Fall and Partial Re-Emergence of The Dysfunctional 5
