Clinical Space is a hopeful-futuristic sci-fi audio drama podcast about the struggles, joys, and daily life of Dr. Aja Graves, the counseling officer aboard a starship. The narrative is delivered mainly through Dr. Graves' session notes and personal logs.Our story picks up shortly after Dr. Graves is first stationed on the Erebus, a deep-space exploration ship of the Astro Navy. Over time, we explore the formation of friendships, the trials of professional life out in the vastness between stars, and the effects of these things on the mental health of the crew. Drawing on themes and tropes from beloved works of science fiction such as Star Trek, Schlock Mercenary, The Bright Sessions, and more, this series aims to bring a note of emotional realism to the genre. The characters and stories are brought to life through situational humor as well as the occasional focus on deeply serious topics.
