That's right folks! Jane the Ripper is being worked on. We will keep you updated as Jane The Ripper continues editing. 🥳

Speaking of our audiodramas, we PROMISE Spacemerica season 2 is being worked on. The audio engineers have been hard at work and making their way through the episodes.

Hi, there. Remember us?

There’s a long story to tell re: why we’ve been inadvertently on hiatus for approx. 1 million years, but the good news is we’re back in editing mode to get Episodes 7-10 finished and into your ears.

This is from Ep7, and we’re just a little over halfway finished editing. The plan is to get all the episodes edited, then released simultaneously.

Thanks to everyone who has listened, reached out, and been the most incredibly patient people.

Stay tuned.

Holy heck, I think we did it! We truly had no idea what to expect when we set up the IndieGoGo to fund SPACEMERICA! Season 2, but we knew we had to try to make Daniel's last project come to life.

Thanks to all of you, we hit 85% of our goal on the website but we have some checks coming in still outside of the campaign so when all is said and done, we are pretty certain we hit our goal.

If you still want to donate despite the campaign being officially over, you can always use our PayPal: paypal.me/CalamityCast

Again THANK YOU to everyone who donated, spread the word, and just generally supported us. We could not have done this without you.

Stay tuned for details on when the first episode of season two drops!

Hey everyone--

We've been hinting about something planned in order to make season 2 of SPACEMERICA! (our 10 episode long Sci-fi traumedy audio drama) come to life.

And here it is.

Season 1 of SPACEMERICA! was released in 2018 (and is available on calamitycast.com or anywhere you get your podcasts). Season 2 has been written and recorded, and the dialogue has been edited together – this is all great. However, one of the co-creators of Season 2, Daniel Williams, died unexpectedly in August 2022.

The thing is, Daniel wasn’t just the co-creator and co-writer of this project; he was also the audio engineer, showrunner, editor, producer, sound designer, and doer of tasks all and sundry.

Those of us who worked on this project with Daniel (including SPACEMERICA! Season 2’s co-creator and co-writer Liz Zerkel) refuse to let this languish uncompleted, but in order to finalize the 10 episodes in Season 2 for release, we need to pay other audio engineers to finish the amazing work Daniel started – because although SPACEMERICA! was a passion project for those of us who worked on it (including Daniel), we cannot ask others to donate their time and efforts. This is why we need your help!

We created an IndieGoGo in order to fund Daniel's final project and we would really appreciate your help. Check out the link below for more information. Thank you!

*Calamity Cast Announcement*
(TW- death, grief)

It is with profound sadness that we announce the unexpected death of Daniel Williams following a suspected cardiac event. Daniel was a founder and driving force behind Calamity Cast, not only in terms of content creation, but sound design and audio engineering. The man did it all (literally!), and “sad” doesn’t really come close to the level of grief we feel.

You can read his obituary here (https://stlouiscremation.com/obituaries/daniel-scott-williams/) which of course includes some of his own words – you might recognize them from his bio on the Calamity Cast website.

So, what does this mean for Calamity Cast moving forward?

While the future is uncertain, we do know this: Season 2 of Spacemerica! was his last creative project, and we are committed to finishing it and releasing it as soon as we’re able.

But we’ll need your help.

Daniel did all of the sound design and audio engineering for Spacemerica! (and a number of other CC productions), and having his level of talent and commitment in-house can’t be replaced. However, we will be working with some local audio engineers to ensure this project comes to fruition and will be launching a crowdfunding campaign to support their work on this.

Details on the campaign are forthcoming, but in the meantime, you can support the project immediately by joining our Patreon (https://www.patreon.com/CalamityCast), purchasing any CC merch (https://calamitycast.threadless.com/), or making a one-time donation via our Paypal (https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/calamitycast).

This really sucks. A lot. But we’re lucky to have his fingerprints all over the Calamity Cast Network. He was a prolific creative force, and he leaves behind an incredible body of work for us to appreciate.

Sincerely,
The Calamity Cast Team
