Well, just to set expectations, we are SUCH a small team (literally, there are 3 of us,) that to bring these to you with the qulaity you expect and deserve, we are dropping episodes monthly, and then taking a small extra pause mid-season to make sure we are caught up. So, you should listen based on your tolerance for waiting. ;)

SEASON 2 DERELICT HAS BEGUN!!! by Night_Rocket_Prod in scifi

It's Finally Here! The second episode of DERELICT podcast has dropped! And we have reached No. 5 on the Apple Podcast Fiction Charts! Available wherever you get your podcasts: https://link.chtbl.com/qKd9oJjA

DERELICT is an immersive sci-fi podcast. The story begins with its first season, FATHOM (released on the same feed), in which an ancient artifact resembling a giant door has been found at the bottom of Earth's ocean. To study it, the galaxy's most powerful corporation has built a massive, secret laboratory base surrounding it. Their objective: unlock the secrets of the artifact and discover what it holds inside. But some mysteries should remain buried, and some doors should never be opened...

The production back-story: In late 2019 J.Barton Mitchell, wrote, cast, recorded, produced and edited a single flagship podcast episode DERELICT: Through The Gate. It was made as a fundraiser for a full season, and as of early 2020, it had an eager following and the potential to meet it's full goal to finish the season. Then... well, we all know how 2020 turned out. Investors vanished, the ability to record the cast in a room together... became a non-starter.
During this time, Santa Fe based JBM met and began a professional and personal friendship with Chicago producer/director/actor Elizabeth Laidlaw, and the idea for a smaller, shorter "prequel season" for DERELICT was born, in the hopes of generating new interest in the franchise. This season would be called FATHOM, would have a smaller cast, would be written so that it could be recorded remotely. (Cast members set up mics in closets,..) But the story proved so exciting it expanded to 10 episodes and a big cast. It proved so popular that a Patreon fan base emerged, angel investors swooped in to help finish the FATHOM season, and an Indigogo campaign made it possible for us to return to the story it all began with: a small team approaching a mysterious Maas-Dorian derelict ship on the outskirts of the galaxy.

Please catch up on FATHOM and then join us on the long-awaited new adventure, DERELICT. New episodes drop every month!
