FINALLY, Parasitecology has arrived! In this episode, our protagonist Javier awakens to a new reality and meets his future best friend, Cher Gandhi Statham under -- let's say, grave -- circumstances. Memories get explored, various nodules and capillaries get squeezed. It's like a therapy and yearly health checkup all in one! Parasitecology is a darkly comic SF audiodrama about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend, which kind of spoils the episode to be honest, but -- come on, everybody knows the first episode is like the sweaty effort I put into the elliptical bike in my basement: all setup. Please note: While Parasitecology is a comedy, it incorporates the serious and, for us, highly personal topic of mental health, including dealing with anxiety, depression and suicide. If you or a loved one is at risk of self-harm, please: get help and call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255. Parasitecology was created by Alan Gallauresi and Rob Trevino, who also created Interrupted Tales, a weekly podcast where one of them reads a vintage or pulp story while the other person constantly interrupts.

Season One of Parasitecology is nearly upon us! It's been a long road getting from there (not having a darkly comic SF audiodrama podcast about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend) to here (a metaphysical state where we, indisputably, have a darkly comic SF audiodrama podcast about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend). Where is Bryan Adams when you need him? The answer is, of course, Canada. Parasitecology is a darkly comic SF audiodrama about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend, which you should know by now because we said it three times in 60 seconds. It was created by Alan Gallauresi and Rob Trevino, who also created Interrupted Tales, a podcast where one of them reads a vintage or pulp story while the other person constantly interrupts.
