The Midnight Gospel
Clancy Gilroy has a spacecast (a podcast for people in space) and he interviews the people he meets on the strange planets. Some of the planets are post-apocalyptic and on the brink of destruction; Clancy is running around fighting off monsters while trying to interview an alien for his spacecast. It’s a lot of fun.
The show is based on real conversations that Duncan Trussell has had on his podcast, The Duncan Trussell Family Hour Podcast. They use the podcast audio and make the guest an alien Clancy has visited on a planet in the simulator.
Clancy talks to his spacecast guests about different things through out the episodes, including subjects such as drug policy and psychedelics; as you might expect from Duncan Trussell.
