Topics
Jonathan Pezza: 本剧以太空为背景，讲述了宇航员Lem和AI副驾驶Mikey在首次超光速飞行中遭遇故障，面临燃料不足和无法返回地球的困境。剧集的核心是两人在绝望境地中建立的深厚关系。 Sean Williams: 本剧通过科幻和推测性小说的方式，展现了人际关系的独特视角，特别是Lem和Mikey之间在困境中建立的亲密关系，类似于作者与自己亲密朋友之间的关系。创作灵感来源于多个方面，包括一个最初的恐怖故事构想、2016年美国大选的冲击、对抑郁症和躁郁症的个人体验以及与演员Kevin R. Free的合作意愿。科幻小说总是基于情感的真实性，而“异化”的概念是21世纪科幻小说的一个重要主题，作者也试图通过自己的作品表达自己的情感历程。接下来的剧集将深入探讨Lem与家人和朋友之间的关系，以及他们为了逃离困境所付出的努力。 Lem: 剧中人物Lem在超光速飞行后面临燃料不足、星图错误以及与地球的通讯等困境，展现了他在绝望中的挣扎与对家人的思念。 Mikey: 剧中人物Mikey作为AI副驾驶，在困境中与Lem相互扶持，展现了两人之间深厚的友情与信任。 Jonathan Pezza: 本剧探讨了在极端环境下人与人之间的情感联系，以及面对困境时人们所展现出的勇气和韧性。

Shownotes Transcript

In this new installment of Curious Matter Presents, we are featuring the pilot episode of Ask Your Father from Sean Williams and Gideon Media, the team behind the hit audio-dramas Steal the Stars, Give Me Away, God of Obsidion, and Audible Originals including Witness and Are You Afraid of the Dark. Sean Williams the writer-creator joins Jonathan for a one-on-one interview about the show and the influences that helped bring us this new audio hit.

In Ask Your Father, Lem and Mikey begin the first Faster Than Light Speed trip in the wrong place and without enough fuel to get back. Lem's husband and sister aren't getting any answers from NASA - mostly because they have no answers themselves. Everyone begins to settle in this new strange routine, which includes tiny hard-drives filled with information and audio letters from home.

Featuring Sean Williams, Kevin R. Free (IG - @kevinrfree), Rob Maitner (IG - @bobbiemaits) , Rebecca Comtois, Barnaby Williams and Marlena Williams.
