Lost on a tiny, two-tree island, hapless castaways, Jason and Bradney, struggle to make it through each strange day in this immersive improvised comedy of errors.
Every morning, boxes mysteriously wash up on shore. The items inside are pretty useless. The island is a bit weird.
They have absolutely no idea where they are and very little idea of what to do.
With only the junk they unbox and a few coconuts each, simply surviving is a real surreal challenge.

Love is complicated. Dating even more so. Jason and Bradney do their best to help a new stranger, who by the way, just woke up there with them on this morning.
Spoiler alert - they aren't great at helping Chris from Tampa.

Pythia's Picks - inc: The Podcast
Tue, 22 Apr 2025 03:00:00 -0700
Hi, Barbara here! In this first edition of my new podcast recommendation show, I present to you the first episode of the fantastic, sci-fi dark comedy,
inc: The Podcast, from Wolf Mountain Workshop.
In the creator's own words: Bethany and Jonas are two pencil-pushing aliens living and working on a company ship that incorporates whole planets by the dozen, tasked with organizing all of the data that is recovered from said planets. They get through the endless days by occasionally adding meaningful stories that they discover to the Extraneous But Interesting folder, all the while navigating the complex web that is friendship and life in this corpo-futuristic nightmare. A science fiction podcast where Douglas Adams meets The Office. Where Severance and Mad Men meet Robert Heinlein.
After listening to this episode, follow the show wherever you listen, keep on listening to new episodes released every other Monday, and check out more about the show and the great people behind it over at https://incthepodcast.buzzsprout.com/2067661 and wolfmountainworkshop.org
Until next time!

Day 11 - Freebie Willy & Freebie Willy 2
Tue, 15 Apr 2025 04:00:00 -0700
Jason has some ideas about the nature of the island. Maybe he's onto someting. But sometimes it's hard to differentiate a good idea from a coping mechanism. Potato potato, perhaps?
And Bradney's just over it.

Day 10 - It's just like that one Nietzsche quote
Tue, 01 Apr 2025 05:00:00 -0700
Following the trauma of encountering the indescribable, incomprehensible horrors of his underwater outing, Bradney seems a little different today.
Maybe he's finally warming up to this place. Maybe he's just completely disassociating.
It's hard to say. Jason isn't a qualified...well, anything really.
Perhaps Bradney can talk to his catch o' the day...
Oh and there's a pretty shattering discovery at the end too.
This place just doesn't let up, does it?

Day 9 - Gettin' Loopy or Felt Cute, Might Attack Later
Tue, 18 Mar 2025 04:00:00 -0700
A funny little hand puppet arrives in one of the boxes. And it doesn't exactly go well. In fact, it goes very, very badly.
Also, the two castaways take turns taking a dip with their new snorkel. Their experiences couldn't be more different.
Seems like Bradney's mind is really starting to break. Or maybe this is is all really happening.
It's all just sort of a mess.
Again.

Day 8 - Bet on the dragon - it always wins
Tue, 04 Mar 2025 03:00:00 -0800
The two castaways take a cruise down memory lane, contemplate some construction, and end their day with a bang. Well, with two bangs, actually.

On this first anniversary, Jason and Bradney have a surprise 'visitor.' They fall under her spell, become nervous, suspicious, jealous, and finally, grief stricken - all within the span of minutes. Then they have a drink.
Too much sun can really do a number on you.

The best laid (escape) plans of mice and men often go awry. Or turn out to be cake. This cruel joke seems a bit behind trend. But time is also weird on the island. So who knows? Either way, it all goes about as well as your might have guessed it would.
Maybe worse.

For millenia, humans have used the stars to orient and guide themselves in this swirling cosmos.
Yeah...that ain't happening here on the island.
And there's a price to pay for staying up past their bedtime. Well, for Bradney anyhow.

Good news - Jason is healed! Overnight. Just like that. And it appears that not all of their resources are finite. There are more coconuts. And more boxes. One of them provides Jason with some encouragement. One gives Bradney an idea for getting a meal. They also find out they have a new fan...
