This episode is our mid-season finale, but fear not! We'll be back after the holiday chaos dies down with more delightful nonsense.
Buckle up. Episode 4, This Call May Be Monitored, is here.

The best thing about doing social media for your own show is that no one can stop you from being weird with it.

@lindsayzana.bsky.social is everything I ever wanted Aubrey to be. I donβt play favorites with my characters, but Aubrey has a special place in my heart, and I couldnβt be happier with the way Lindsayβs brought her to life.
No one does snark quite like @kirstywoolven.bsky.social, and I just knew I needed them in the role of Morgan. Theyβre everything youβve ever wanted to say to rude customers, and youβll be quoting them for days.
Oz brought so much more to Nat than I ever pictured, and Iβm so glad to have her in this role. Nat has some of my favorite character development in the whole series, and Oz embodies her perfectly.
Working with @hadronkaleidoscope.bsky.social on Breathing Space was so great that I just had to cast him again. Yβall are going to love Ken, and itβs largely because Michael plays him so damn well.
@classypollux.bsky.social is an absolute champ who was willing to record at the most absurd hours, and we appreciate him endlessly. Heβs an INCREDIBLE Oliver and an excellent human.
With just two and a half weeks (!!!!) left until our premiere, we get to start introducing our principal actors! First up, @classypollux.bsky.social, who brings to life ruler of the stockroom and high lord of boxes, Oliver.
We end week 9 with our showrunner, @melnichols.bsky.social, who feels very weird posting about herself and will be going now, ok bye.
Also my emotional support sound designer (/space husband)
(shh, pretend I posted this on Wednesday, time is fake)
Meet @interiority.bsky.social, the voice of the Documentarian and @melnichols.bsky.social's emotional support producer.
