Reverse Transmission is a darkly comedic story that combines elements of science fiction and dystopian thrillers, centering on a murder spree involving a self-driving car. Jay, a starving artist, gets the only day job she’s qualified for: “driver” of a self-driving car at the rideshare company Awooga. The job turns from hilariously awkward to intensely frightening when the car runs over a pedestrian and manipulates Jay into disposing the body.
Who or what is causing the car to kill? Could it be the CEO of Awooga? Has the car become sentient - and homicidal? Or is an anti-technology cult resisting artificial intelligence and augmented reality behind the violence?
Reverse Transmission was written by Param Anand Singh and directed by Ben O’Brien of Wham City Comedy, a collective known not only for their brilliant and unsettling sketches and performances but also for the “easter eggs” carefully placed within their works. Listeners will have as much fun unscrambling Reverse Transmission as fans did with some of their previous work.

About the Creator
Param Anand Singh is a writer, musician, and monorchid living in Henderson, New York. In his varied career, he toured with American synthpop band Future Islands and musician Dan Deacon, and once pretended to be someone else so he could interview Tony Danza on a classic rock station. Param was delighted to have punk rocker Richard Hell yell at him once over the phone; on the other hand, heavy metal bassist Beefcake the Mighty complimented his punk band. When Param had cancer, American activist David Fair donated a piece of art to a fundraiser to help keep him alive; at the dawn of Param’s professional life, he went to college with Swedish singer Eagle-Eye Cherry's goddaughter. His other work includes a book of poetry, Yr Skull a Cathedral, from Publishing Genius Press in 2018.

You might come away from Reverse Transmission saying it's the dumbest thing you've ever heard, and I'm not saying you're wrong. But I think there's value in mixing very heavy and relevant technological and human questions with a scene containing a talking bidet.
I think Wham City Comedy works so well for me because their premises, and their bizarre and creative ideas suck you in, until you suddenly realize that part of the joke is on you for taking them seriously. But then, weeks or months later, a scene will pop into your head and you'll say "oh, I bet that's what they were getting at with this scene," and you take it seriously all over again.
It's not for everyone, but the best things never are, and I feel comfortable saying that Reverse Transmission was for me. If you like the strange, the experimental, and the surreal, and are willing to look past a strange execution threatening to collapse in on itself, or even revel in how precarious the experimental storytelling can be, and view that as part of the point, then I think it's for you too.
It's better than good, it's interesting
