Station 151

Located on Alexander Island, Antarctica, Station 151 is the southernmost continent’s first and only astronomical radio observatory. Built by the Telders Corporation at an estimated cost of $200M USD, Station 151 is comprised of 50 radio antennas arrayed in a spiral configuration. Astrophysicist Wayne Robertson was hired by The Telders Corporation as the sole operator of Station 151, Antarctica for a 12-month pilot to test the station’s cutting-edge radio interferometer. Leaving behind his fiancé in the States, Wayne travels alone to Antarctica to fulfill a lifelong dream to peer deeper into the universe than ever thought possible. But after arriving at the station, Wayne’s hopes of a career defining role are dashed as he is thrust into a strange and unsettling new world.

Station 151 is a science-fiction and horror audio drama podcast, written and developed by brothers Andy Scearce and Steven James Scearce, and produced by Bear Weiter. Season 1 of this science-fiction podcast will span 10 episodes, and more seasons are planned. Our intent is to provide an immersive storytelling experience, rich in production value, hopefully pulling you, the listener, deeper in as the story spirals downward.

Welcome to our first Q&A episode! We recently asked for your questions about all things Station 151, and you all had a lot of great ones. We tackle some of the basics like: how did Station 151 get started?, or what are our inspirations? Someone wanted to know about podcasting and producing their own audio drama. We cover a whole bunch of that and more: what’s our favorite character, which AI would we choose to have in our head, what would be a given character’s theme music, and of course, why was the Red Pixel Incident bleeped? Due to length, we have cut this session into two episodes.
