We Fix Space Junk follows seasoned smuggler Kilner and reluctant fugitive Samantha as they travel the galaxy, dodging bullets and meeting strange and wonderful beings as they carry out odd jobs on the fringes of the law.
A female-led sci-fi comedy sitcom set in the far future, in a high-tech, dystopian world, We Fix Space Junk draws on the sci-fi of the past, following in the footsteps of Harry Harrison and of Douglas Adams' Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Equal parts love-letter to sci-fi and satire of the present-day, Space Junk is lovingly produced by Beth Crane @Bethkcrane and Hedley Knights of Battle Bird Productions.
Note from creator: Female-led!
• Next season status: Slated for sometime 2024

Evo's notes:
I didn't think this show was for me, but then I listened and proved myself wrong. It's funny and thoughtful at the same time. A nice and cozy listen, I think!
Make plans to fight the boredom of next week by making smart choices this #AudioFictionSunday. Try this on for size:
Season 2 of Sporadic Phantoms, a dramatized #scifi series from Sporadic Phantoms, starts on 4 Oct 2023. You’ll need about 9 and a half hours to get caught up on the current 11 episodes in Season 1.🦉👽🌲
Let’s sneak another new season coming soon your way, shall we? Like, it is #AudioFictionSunday, after all!
Season 2 of either, a dramatized #scifi#weird fiction / #romance from Open Doors, Closed Doors, started dropping episodes today. There are 10 episodes in Season 1, for nearly 5 hours of weird fun.🌕🦆❤️🩹
"Aster and Only are VERY different people, brought together by very different circumstances.
When things start going wrong, they must overcome their many differences to navigate two crumbling worlds- and their own relationship. A relationship that will end in a decision."
We’ve another suggestion for a great tale for #AudioFictionSunday this week, and it’s once again a favorite of our curator, @evoterra:
"I recommend Tumanbay, a dramatized #fantasy series from iHeartPodcasts & Goldhawk Productions. Don't let the "fantasy" part fool you. This is much more of a military/administration/coup kind of story, which arguably sounds less sexy than ‘fantasy.’ But I enjoyed it immensely. Perhaps you will as well.”
Tumnabay is a complete series. Queue this one up for your next long trip, as the 34 episodes of the 4 seasons will last you about 30 hours.
Tumanbay: the most magnificent city on earth. The beating heart of a vast empire. A city of dreams – where those who once arrived as slaves now reside in the seat of power.
Meet Nolan Blackwell, Teen Sleuth - Girl Detective, and her dog Casper. Nolan has a love of all things Nancy Drew and Encyclopedia Brown. Casper has a penchant for mischief. But not all mysteries are hardbound and soon Nolan Blackwell will have to uncover clues and stare down dangers that threaten to reveal more about her past than she may be ready to confront.
Fans of #NancyDrew and #ScoobyDoo will delight in this hilarious, opioid-fueled dive into the world of latch-key children and the haunted, dangerous places that meddling leads.
