MISSION TO ZYXX is an improvised, obsessively sound designed science fiction podcast following a team of ambassadors as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic ZYXX QUADRANT of the TREMILLION SECTOR.

The show premiered in 2017, and the 5th and final season ended in September 2022. It was the most creative and wonderful experience I've had making a thing. I got to use every skill I have, and develop a ton more.

By season 5 the show was bigger and more ambitious than anything we could've imagined back in 2017. An orchestral score, intricately edited, deep character development, and mixed in a super-immersive binaural ambisonics format.

Beyond the sound design, I pitched characters and plots, help book guests, design merchandise, perform live, occasionally play walk on characters, and make a ton of music which included mixing a real orchestra, producing a full-length album for one of the characters of the show, and writing and performing bro-country anthems for my in world character, Jordan B'Korkan.

I made the show alongside six other co-creators: Jeremy Bent, Alden Ford, Allie Kokesh, Seth Lind, Winston Noel and Moujan Zolfaghari. Each episode features a special guest comedian playing a character with the unlucky fate of receiving the ambassador team on their home planet. The original score by Brendan Ryan is performed by a live 60 piece orchestra. Our vinyl soundtrack album was released in 2023.
