EP045: Are You Ready For the End of the World?

By Danny Adams.
Read by  Paul Jenkins and  Tee Morris.

Would you like to know how to escape the imminent destruction of the Earth?
Sure, we all would.
And this site can help. Our specially-trained instructors can assist you in putting together your very own personal starship to get off this planet before its obliteration.

Rated PG. Contains a planet in peril, almost-helpful aliens, and a sociopathic football player. One or more of the three fail to come out on top.


Listen to this week’s Escape Pod!

This one was loads of fun.

The two obvious possibilities to me were:
1.  This is just an internet hoax for giggles, victim will look very silly.
2.  These are actually aliens who are actually trying to save one member of humanity (as silly as that is, don't you think you'd want at least 2 for mating purposes?)

I was pleasantly surprised at the turn of events that took neither of these paths.
