Synopsis:

Welcome to Channel 15 Radio dot com. Old time radio drama for a new era. Our  feature audio drama is THE AMBASSADOR, a fun, family-friendly, sci-fi, martial arts adventure. 

The Ambassador is a highly respected older woman, not another Captain or Lost Renegade. She is not a broken relic looking for redemption. She’s good at what she does. Very good. She is slightly snarky, really likes coffee, is an adept in the martial arts, speaks multiple languages, and keeps lots of secrets. She’s still got game but she’s not a ‘young vixen’ any more. She’d like to retire. She can’t. The High Council has summoned her for a difficult new mission. 

The Ambassador and her team don’t save the universe. They try to do good. Sometimes they succeed. Sometimes they fail. They are excellent at what they do. They are brilliant and humble, honest and kind. They are mostly regular, normal, outwardly average, incredibly interesting, quietly extraordinary people.

We're all looking for something. Everything is changing. The world is a mess and we have to do something. What do we do? We don't know. We haven't figured it out yet. Many of us would like to do something more, something good. We want heroes who could be us to help us figure it out. And good friends to hold on to. We'd like a little less anxiety and a little more comfort. Crying is okay sometimes, but we could laugh a little more. And could I have another slice of pie?

(you smiled, pretty sure you did)
That's what my story does - offers a reason to believe, a few tears, and lots of smiles. (yes, that too).

Interview with Leonardo Ramirez

Tue, 05 Dec 2023 09:00:00 -0500

Each of the main characters in our feature story has a different cultural background. They come together as family, often around food. What is on the table and who is at the table are the key themes. So, for this holiday interview, we're going to talk a little bit about family and food with Leonardo Ramirez.   

Leonardo Ramirez is an accomplished screenwriter, musician, and martial artist. His  roundabout journey to his love of screenwriting began with daydreaming, movies, authoring books and martial arts. Because sometimes you just don’t figure out who you are until you take the long and winding road to arrive at your truest love. He still swings a sword every now and then but settled down on a love for screenwriting with HAVEN OF DANTE, THE JUPITER CHRONICLES and AGENTS OF C.O.W. with tons more to come.

Please visit his website https://leonardoverse.com/ or link tree https://linktr.ee/leonardoverse to learn more about his work.

We're all looking for something. Everything is changing. The world is a mess and we have to do something. What do we do? We don't know. We haven't figured it out yet. Many of us would like to do something more, something good. We want heroes who could be us to help us figure it out. And good friends to hold on to. We'd like a little less anxiety and a little more comfort. Crying is okay sometimes, but we could laugh a little more. And could I have another slice of pie?

That's what my story does - offers a reason to believe, a few tears, and lots of smiles. (yes, that too).

The Central Alliance High Council has sent First Contact Ambassador Micha Lawrence on a dangerous mission. She is going to distant Ka’len to try to get a treaty and to find out what the invading Olmeri are up to.

N'amani called to tell her he was able to get all their supplies. She recalled how he was assigned, their first mission, and his fighting skills.

In this episode, the Ambassador finishes getting ready and leaves for the orbiting space station to meet the Magellan. She is surprised by Commander Brandon telling her that the Magellan has a new Captain. She meets Captain Alexander Logan, tests him, and uses the Ancient Arts to look into his heart. If she has to trust him with the lives of her team, she's not going to waste time with small talk, She likes what she sees. She introduces the Captain to her team. N'amani, the Doctor, Beth, and Kell. The Captain is surprised to meet Kell.  The Captain takes command of the Magellan. We meet Maja, the ship's AI.  The Ambassador and N'amani discuss a previous mission and Captain Logan. As they get underway, the Ambassador tells them about their mission. The Captain expresses his concern. N'amani reassures him by telling him that doing the next-to-impossible is what they do.

In the next episode, the Doctor discovers Ka'len has cinchona that can be used to make a cure for malaria. Sharing how to make the tonic would give them a very good chance at getting the treaty.
