Wanderhome Audio Drama

Fiction, Science Fiction

Wanderhome is an 8 part immersive sci-fi western audio series featuring a full cast and crew of experienced and award winning actors and musicians. Prepare for a cinematic audio experience with a hint of anime spice.

Centuries after Earth fell to a conquering alien empire and a fraction of humanity was relocated to Wanderhome; a sprawling zoo-world meant to protect endangered alien species under the Galactic Humane Protection Treaty. Now that sanctuary has rotted. Ruled by the cold bureaucracy of the Shatterstar Republic, Wanderhome is a dying planet where survival means outsmarting the system and each other.

In this forgotten frontier, two unlikely partners…Summer, a sharp-tongued human engineer, and Vopee, a washed-up, gun-slinging toad-like Krokian, scrape by until they discover Vermillion, a sentient alien tree that remembers what Wanderhome was meant to be. From its living city of Bloodwood, Vermillion calls on them to free the planet from its chains. Summer must gather a team unique alien misfits in order to hijack the republic’s mag-lev train Oroborus.

Wanderhome isn’t just a pulpy sci-fi adventure. It’s inspired by the red dirt and open skies of creator Zach Blubaugh's childhood: on a fifth-generation farm and ranch in Oklahoma. A land where over a century ago, more than 100,000 Native Americans were forced across its soil. Decades later, during the Land Run of 1889, families across the globe saw it as a frontier of new beginnings.

Wanderhome is a dusty, high-tech space western about freedom, found family, and the cost of breaking out of a cage you never asked to be in.

    On the dying world of Wanderhome, engineer Summer and her rough-edged Krokian partner Vopee scrape by repairing old machines and surviving the wastes. After helping an old farmer bring his broken harvester back to life, the two set out for Bloodwood; the last free city on the planet and the rumored heart of a growing rebellion.

    But beyond the Republic’s crumbling borders, danger still lingers in the dust... and the deeper they ride, the clearer it becomes that Wanderhome was never meant to be free.

    Sorry about the obvious loud fan in the recording, It was REALLY hot when we recorded this episode. This week, series creator Zach and Wanderhome voice-actor Carlos Kasse go into a full deep dive into the first episode of the season. They discuss hidden easter eggs, foreshadowing, actors, and answer some of your questions!
