Latest Updates

  • Thank You For Your Auditions!

    To everyone who auditioned: thank you so much for auditioning for a role in Apocalypse Radio.

    We were absolutely floored by the amount of auditions we received here and on the google form and the pure talent within them. We thoroughly enjoyed listening to every audition, and it was incredibly difficult to choose just one person for each part. The final decisions were very difficult ones. If we did not contact you offering you a role, please do not take this as a reflection of your abilities!

    We are happy to announce that a season 2 and a season 3 are now in the works! We encourage you to audition for any parts you might be interested in when those casting calls go out (season 2 casting should start around February of 2025 if all goes to plan), as a lot of these auditions had us thinking, "Wow! They would be great for a part in season 2/3!" Keep an eye on the Apocalypse Radio tumblr for any casting calls that go out.

    Thank you again for your interest in our show.

    Best Wishes,

    Haven

Role assigned to: LoxleyB

Mason is the disabled genderqueer main character. They run the radio station in the Kitmouth Mall. They are an outgoing, mischievous person who tries to keep up everyone’s morale in the apocalypse.

Language:
  • english
  • God, I hate that. No one should be on their own in the middle of the apocalypse. It’s soul-crushing enough to look outside and see good people turned into shambling monsters, but to do it without a support system to keep your head on straight? I’d go insane.

  • Right, well. I tried to tell him, didn’t I? All my listeners can attest to the fact that I tried to tell Tairam. It’s not my fault he never listens to my broadcasts.

  • Oh, buddy, everyone here knows your name. I’m their only ongoing source of entertainment in the apocalypse, so you can bet your ass they’re listening in.

Will

Role assigned to: Brian Kai

Will is the love interest. He calls into the show for help getting to the mall where all the survivors are at. He’s a loner with a dry sense of humor who got a crush on Mason from listening to their radio show since the apocalypse started, and he can come off as rude due to how blunt he is.

Language:
  • english
  • [embarrassed] No, I, I listened to you before then. I just happened to be in the radio shop when I realized I really needed help, and you were the only person I could think of to call.

  • Absolutely. I think I could burn soup. ... What? I thought soup was like, one of those things you couldn’t mess up. I was making a joke.

  • I… I really, really care about you, Mason. I know I haven’t known you long, it’s only been a few days, but… I’ve been listening since you first started your show at the beginning of the apocalypse. And I- I think- [pause] I think I’m falling in love with you.

Esme is an interviewee and new at the survivor camp—they become one of Mason’s close friends. They are a kind, trusting individual and Tairam’s assistant. They have a dog named Scout.

Language:
  • english
  • It’s great! The kids love Scout and Scout loves the kids, and everyone’s been so welcoming. ... Especially Tairam! I was so afraid I wouldn’t be able to help out much, but he makes sure to give me jobs that don’t scare me.

  • Even Scout agrees! He’s going to get here with plenty of time, Mason. Just take a deeeep breath and don’t panic.

Mason’s best friend, one of the chefs at the survivor camp. He’s a responsible man who worries about breaking rules and keeping secrets.

Language:
  • english
  • And that’s that for today’s weather segment, which, again I have to stress: completely bullshit. I just looked at the sky… and guessed. So.

  • Look, I’m not bashing Tairam. He gave me a place here, and hell, he’s almost like my dad in some ways. But Mason guiding Will here is going to go down like them bringing home a stray puppy, and we know how Tairam feels about dogs.

  • If Mason’s staying, then I’m saying. There’s no way I’m gonna let my best friend in the world stick around in the middle of the zombie apocalypse with a near stranger for weeks on end. I’m with you, Mace.

One of the survivors, a soon-to-be-mother who will be giving birth any day now. She’s a calm, kind woman who takes care of the kids in the mall.

CW: Mrs. Wilder goes into labor during the show.

Language:
  • english
  • Well, love is a strong word, dear. But frankly, I think we’re far better off than those poor folks in Arkmunster. You know, there’s a reason they got evacuated first. Their streets are full of potholes.

  • Sure. George, if you’re out there, I hope your business trip was awful, and please know that I don’t expect you home in time for dinner, let alone evacuation.

  • I think- I think the baby is coming! Very suddenly and very quickly!

Role assigned to: Gem

Daethie is a member of the military who stayed behind at the last evacuation to protect the people waiting for the next. She is a total badass.

Language:

  • I’m teaching a defense class for Esme and the kids—I think even Mrs. Wilder is coming. You know, you could attend, too, if you have the energy.

  • Those clunky things? They are not breaking anytime soon, babe.

  • Mason, the military isn’t going to like waiting. They have a schedule to stick to, other areas to evacuate. If we don’t go now, we’ll have to wait for the next evacuation in our area, and that could be weeks from now.

Tairam is a semi-antagonist, as Mason works to keep a secret from him. He is the leader of the survivors, and is strict in his rules.

Language:
  • english
  • God, I can’t believe… Another survivor… Whatever. If he gets here in time, it’s not my problem anymore, someone else will be keeping track of rations. And if he doesn’t get here in time, then… I’m sorry, Mason.

  • No! You just had a baby, you and Naomi are going with the evac crew. Sesra, Jule, Aaron, Elris, Sylrie, and you two, you’re all getting evacuated.

Jule is one of the survivors and interviewees. She and her husband only recently moved to Kitmouth.

  • Tairam sent me up to be your next interviewee.

  • He was worried you’d burn the mall down if you got bored.

  • We just don’t have the people to spare. Even if Tairam was on board with Will joining us, we wouldn’t be able to send a team out to meet him—especially not this close to the evacuation. At best, Daethie will run across him on a scavenging run, but with the evacuation so close…

Sesra is one of the cooks at the mall camp, and an interviewee. She used to own a coffee shop with her girlfriend.

  • Yes, she… she was turned at the beginning of the apocalypse. A zombie bit her, this was back when we hardly even knew the virus was transferred by bites. We just tried to clean it normally as we quarantined, but then I woke up one morning to her groaning in the bathroom, and… and I…
