Earth Break
(Or: A Few Suggestions For Survival, With Additional Hints and Tips About How to Make Yourself More Comfortable During the Alien Apocalypse)
Skylark Media (Blackwood, American Hysteria) presents Earth Break, a six-episode post-apocalyptic audio drama starring Jenny Slate.
After everyone she’s ever known was killed in an alien invasion, Lynn Gellert (Slate) might be the last person left on Earth. Her constant and only companion is a voice recorder she managed to salvage from her mother’s house. As symptoms of a strange illness seem to set in, Lynn comes to terms with her mortality, only to realize that she’s not sick—she’s pregnant.
Lynn is not a survivalist. She isn’t even good at camping. But somehow, she has to find what it takes to confront a dangerous and uncertain future.
Why Listen?
The show utilizes the “found footage” audio trope (hand-held recorder), but executes it with high-quality sound design and solid production values. Jenny Slate’s performance is the anchor here; she keeps her signature humor intact even in the face of doom, delivering a level of profanity that is both endearing and hilarious (think Scarface, but with morning sickness).
If you are a fan of sci-fi, survival stories, or character-driven drama, this is a must-listen.
