Introducing: Clinical Space

Clinical Space is a hopeful-futuristic sci-fi audio drama podcast about the struggles, joys, and daily life of Dr. Aja Graves, the counseling officer aboard a starship. The narrative is delivered mainly through Dr. Graves' session notes and personal logs.Our story picks up shortly after Dr. Graves is first stationed on the Erebus, a deep-space exploration ship of the Astro Navy. Over time, we explore the formation of friendships, the trials of professional life out in the vastness between stars, and the effects of these things on the mental health of the crew. Drawing on themes and tropes from beloved works of science fiction such as Star Trek, Schlock Mercenary, The Bright Sessions, and more, this series aims to bring a note of emotional realism to the genre. The characters and stories are brought to life through situational humor as well as the occasional focus on deeply serious topics. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

SCIENCE FICTION
"Highly engaging entertainment." — Dean Koontz Starring BAFTA and Emmy-nominated actress Thora Birch! An American soldier must stop her doppelganger from a parallel dimension who has taken her place, with plans to assassinate the President of the United States. Special Forces Staff Sergeant Audrey Beach is a determined career soldier, rising through the ranks to the cream of the military crop. She doesn’t have much else in life besides her daughter Lydia, who lives with her ex-husband after a difficult divorce. But Audrey’s training could never prepare her for a top-secret mission in Afghanistan’s Herat Province, where she faces the impossible: her own doppelgänger from another universe locking her up and leaving her to die…and taking Audrey’s place in the process. The Overleaper is Audrey, but in her timeline, she has suffered far worse pain. Lydia is dead— murdered in a tragic military mishap— and her quest for revenge led her to sacrifice her loyalty to the United States. A dangerous country in her dimension has aided the Overleaper’s vengeful mission, for a price: replace the Audrey Beach in our world and assassinate the President, no matter the personal price. With nothing left to live for, the Overleaper agrees. To defend the nation and protect her good name, Audrey must escape Afghanistan and traverse the globe, evading US authorities and international spies in order to thwart the Overleaper’s plan. Overleaper is a Realm production, written by Sam Boush. Listen Away. For more shows like this, visit Realm.fm.
