About the Show

Ten years ago, Phoebe Roberts had one of the most recognizable names on the planet. She led a historic all-female mission aboard the International Space Station, but since then, her assignments have been much less adventurous. Phoebe wants a grand comeback. The grandest of all, in fact: to be the first woman on the moon. So she does what all people trying to prove they can follow protocol do: she ignores the rules completely! She convinces her crew to abandon their current mission and reroute to the moon. Only problem is, a younger, smarter (and hotter) crew just launched to the lunar surface too.

This project is first and foremost a comedy. It explores the trials, tribulations and triumphs of Phoebe, Selene and Diana, three astronauts who are past their prime. “I want this to be funny, relatable, fantastical. Listeners should walk away feeling like stowaways inside a spacecraft. It’s both an adventure and a hat tip to today’s documentary trend in radio storytelling.”
