Ryder Protocol Pilot

Ryder Protocol Pilot

Project Overview

This pilot is a cyberpunk thriller podcast where a cybernetically enhanced amnesiac, WARDEN, awakens into a gang war in the neon-drenched slums of Duaal. Guided by a sardonic AI, they must unravel their past while surviving ruthless assassins and a city on the brink of chaos. Think "Altered Carbon" meets "Cyberpunk 2077," in your ears.

Description: In the neon-drenched, chaotic metropolis of Duaal, a mysterious figure known only as WARDEN awakens within a cryogenic vat, their past and purpose shrouded in mystery. Disoriented and stripped of their memories, WARDEN finds themselves thrust into a deadly game when a pair of ruthless assassins, known as Jesters, infiltrate the lab and eliminate the scientist overseeing their recovery.

Escaping the lab amidst a flurry of gunfire and explosions, WARDEN is left to navigate the treacherous underbelly of Lower Duaal, a sprawling slum teeming with gangs and corporate mercenaries. Their only guide is an enigmatic AI companion, Ptah, who activates hidden protocols within WARDEN, revealing their enhanced abilities and a past they can barely recall.

As WARDEN struggles to piece together their fragmented memories and survive the escalating gang war, they must confront the brutal reality of their existence: a weapon forged in the shadows, now unleashed upon a city teetering on the brink of collapse. The episode culminates in a violent confrontation, leaving WARDEN exposed and hunted by the ruthless Adjudicators, the self-appointed enforcers of Duaal’s lawless streets.

Latest Updates

  • Finally catching up!

    Robin here! First I wanted to say thank you all so much for your auditions. I’m working with one of my producers today to finish going through the rest of the auditions and trying to catch up on everything. Organizing a handful of projects has been exhausting but we’re getting it done and with the storyboarding for the S1 nearing its completion we’ll be able to move pretty quickly after getting the pilot episode edited. Cheers to that!


    Also, so dang many of you have phenomenal voices and we’d ask your permission to keep your recordings as a part of our talent pool and links to your pages along with it (just to have access to your reels in an easier place) for work going forward. We’re planning for more of our projects going forward to do a mix of private and public castings so that we’re constantly getting to work with new voices and provide new opportunities but also showcase some of the incredible skill and work that many of you have already made an example of here. 


    Expect an update by Friday or Saturday and here’s to many more stories!
