In Episode Four, “Nature’s Social Union,” we finally have the meeting Zahava’s been talking about, to determine the fate of the unnamed planet. James and his slitherfluff friend watch Clinical Trials, many people go for walks in the rain, and we learn a whole lot about the mission. You know. The mission. Saving humanity.
Content Notes: this is a heavy one. As always, none of this is gratuitous or described in detail. (There’s more swearing than usual as well.)
- Interpersonal conflict: [10:55 - 16:22]
- Mention of genocide: [15:37 - 15:45]
- Panic attack, hyperventilation: [15:10 - 16:22]
- Mention of violence, murder, torture: [42:00 - 43:10]
The transcript is available. If the transcript link is broken please email [email protected] and we’ll get it to you as soon as we can.
This is a collaborative, ensemble project. Many of the character decisions are made by the actors as part of the story and script development process. Please check out the links below for more of their work:
- Trevor Bean creates and voices Mandry
- Trace Callahan creates and voices Kolian
- Alexander Endymion Hernández Díaz creates and voices Cyrus
- Alexander Doddy creates and voices James
- Sawyer Greene creates and voices Quill
- Anjali Kunapaneni creates and voices Devi
- Dominic Mendez creates and voices Ángel
- Caroline Mincks creates and voices Zahava
- Evan Tess Murray creates all of them and voices Zei
- Nerys Howell currently voices Nessa the Doctor Detective
The poem at the end of this episode is “To a Mouse” by Robert Burns. It seemed extremely fitting. Alexander Doddy gave us his best Scots when he read it. You can find many excellent renditions, including translations, on youtube.
Our podcast art was created by Katy Schifferer. Check out her work!

We tell a story about another world, but we're not giving up on this one.

Previous Episode
Bonus: Kolian Stories - 1 - The Earth Sighed
One of our favorite things about the Nameless Crew is that all of us contribute to this project in many ways - beyond what you hear when you listen to an episode. This ranges from people having input into character decisions to the wholesale creation of spinoff content.
Izley Kolian sings songs and tells stories to make sense of the world. We already have one of their songs; here we find them explaining how we came to where we are, and seeking truth in mythology. Like any good storyteller, our blind bard dreams up pictures for us, finds meaning in the spaces between the facts.
This is written, performed, and engineered by Trace Callahan.
The text of the story is available as a transcript.

Bonus: Zahava's Matzah Balls
You asked for it! The first in what may well be a series of recipes from the Nameless Crew.
Written and performed by Caroline Mincks.
Music and audio engineering by Trace Callahan.
