Pan-African Hour: Star Trek (April 20 and 27, 2011)

The end of an era! As Sassafrass prepares to leave to Alberta we have two radio shows left prior to his departure, so we execute a long spoken of desire to do a live radio play spoofing Star Trek! Enlisting Alberta Bertha from Eat My Country to help with the voice acting, we cobbled together two episodes worth of script and music...almost. Both scripts actually fell short of filling up a full hour, so we improvise at the end of both episodes. Sasparilla does both soundeffects and voice acting, leading to a few awkward pauses here and there. Overall, not the most polished radio play you'll ever here, but definitely funny in it's amateur production and ridiculous plot.
