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 :)

Yes! Season 2 of Strange New Worlds and Spaced Out Tales will be landing in January 2024!

And a quick announcement of some bonus content that will be available on the feed very soon.

Ep7 - The Dysfunctional 5

A truly ridiculous parody of the superhero mythos.

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.

Behold! Now is the time of 'The Dysfunctional 5!'

Ep6 - In The Garden

A time-bending, bitter-sweet Sci-Fi drama

Jo, an explosive defusal expert, finds herself catapulted some 40 years into the future. She is confronted by a cruel world where things have gone horribly wrong for humanity, is accepted with warmth and trust by an ailing robot, and is reunited with her former (now aged) partner, Rally. For the briefest of moments, all seems peaceful In The Garden - a large greenhouse designed to grow the food that sustains the embattled remnants of the human race. But time waits for no-one, and for our three friends - it's running out quickly...

Episode 3 - Three In An Airlock

A farcical Sci-Fi comedy.

A spaceship-wide power outage leaves three unfortunate members of the crew locked in an airlock - and to make matters worse - within minutes, said airlock is due to automatically flush its contents (including the three crew) out into the vastness of space. Can Michelle, the systems tech, Tom the cynical electrical tech and Bob, the cleaner, devise a way to escape before it's too late?
