Moonbase Theta, Out is a science fiction podcast created by D.J. Sylvis and produced by Monkeyman Productions.

Background

[edit]

The story follows the crew of a decommissioned moonbase as they begin to shutdown the base and prepare to leave.[1] The majority of the moonbase's crew is in cryostasis while only five crew members are awake to keep things running.[2] The crew have twenty weeks to completely shutdown and evacuate the moonbase.[3] Each episode is made up of the audio reports that Roger Bragado-Fischer sends to earth at the end of each week.[4] Bragado-Fischer also adds short messages to his husband, Alexandre, at the end of each report.[5] The show contains dystopic themes and provides commentary on the negative impacts of capitalism.[1]

Moonbase Theta, Out was one of the first fifteen programs included in The Fable & Folly Network.[6][4]
