Mission to Zyxx is an improvised, longform, science fiction space opera podcast on the Maximum Fun network. Before Maximum Fun, it was on Audioboom. The show follows a team of ambassadors (and their ship, The Bargarean Jade) as they attempt to establish diplomatic relations with planets in the remote and chaotic Zyxx Quadrant of the Tremillion Sector. It frequently parodies common science fiction tropes from franchises such as Star Trek, Battlestar Galactica, and Star Wars. At the start of Season 1, they work for the Federated Alliance, which recently defeated the evil Galactic Monarchy. As of 2021 there are four completed seasons, and the fifth and final season premiered April 29, 2021. On Apple Podcasts, Mission to Zyxx has a 4.9/5.0 based on 2.6K ratings. The cast of the show are veterans of improv comedy performance, with all having performed with Upright Citizens Brigade and separately or in smaller groups with other improv casts. Additional credits include writing, performing and directing comedy content/shows such as CollegeHumor and UCB Comedy Originals (Alden Ford, Jeremy Bent, Winston Noel) ,The Good Cop (Allie Kokesh), Last Week Tonight and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (Moujan Zolfaghari). Co-creator Seth Lind is Director of Operations at the highly successful podcasts This American Life, Serial, and S-Town. Shane O'Connell, the show's sound engineer and designer, has worked with Ben Harper, Half Waif, and NAO. (en) |
