Publisher's Summary
Dying is easy. It’s the Apocalypse that’s hard. Before the outside world devolved into a fiery pit of hell, Noel and Julia hosted a successful and wonderfully pretentious community radio show. Now their basement studio is their survival bunker, and they find themselves completely alone. With no escape and nothing left except an increasingly eclectic selection of questionable records, Noel and Julia proudly debut their new show: Is Anyone Alive Out There?. How could they create a stellar show when they really just need to survive? How could they possibly find guests for their show under these circumstances? In this musical, the two hosts navigate life without food, water, resources, comforts, and other people. As the absurdity grows and the situation becomes dire, Noel and Julia realize that if the heat doesn’t kill them, their own passive-aggressiveness will.

Wally Roux is a teenage genius with a big imagination and a big heart, who just moved to Savannah, GA, from Maine with his mom, who adopted him when he was an infant. In this charming and sweet solo performance, Wally investigates what is causing a number of strange events and occurrences. He explores and gets lost within space-time - an infinite, indefinable, and mysterious void that you can’t see but when you slice into it you can feel it.

In 1912, scientist Marie Curie spent two months on the British seaside at the home of Hertha Ayrton, an accomplished mathematician, inventor, and suffragette. At the time, Curie was in the throes of a scandal in France over her affair with Paul Langevin, which threatened to overshadow the accomplishment of her second Nobel Prize. Performed by Kate Mulgrew and Francesca Faridany at the Minetta Lane Theatre, this play by Lauren Gunderson is an ode to two remarkable women.

Now Sea Wall / A Life, a dramatic exploration of transformative love and devastating loss, comes to Audible.

I give it 1.21 gigawatts!
What a fantastic duo! Their repartee is quick and smart and very funny, and their musical elements were stellar. Woven into the story were some great send-ups of lost records one might find in the vault of a lonely public radio outpost, but the high water mark for me was the infectious number they crafted around a classic movie. Very talented performers and writers.
There is also an interesting unlisted special guest that was a cool surprise.
An excellent listen!

Funny but that great. Waste of 1 credit.
It is quite short compared to most books/stories, it slapstick humor which wears out quickly. Probably good for a few people but not most.
