Hey! Beth here, just dropping in to give you a quick update on Space Junk and also tell you about a new show we've been loving.

First up, Space Junk: It's still coming! It's in the final stages of post-production and we're working on a final round of editing notes before it's ready to go. It's been a really difficult and complicated year for us, but we're still working on the show and gradually getting towards release.

We really can't wait to get it out there, and I've already started planning out the next season!

Aaand if you're looking for something really excellent to listen to in the mean time, I have a show to recommend! This is a sponsored feed drop, but also when I started listening to the show to make sure that it was something I'd be happy to recommend, I was pretty blown away.The show is called Derelict. It's an independently produced sci-fi podcast from J Barton Mitchell, currently in it's second season, and it's just returned from a mid-season hiatus so now's the perfect time to catch up.

Derelict begins with its first season, Fathom, in which an ancient artefact resembling a giant door has been discovered at the bottom of Earth's ocean.

To study it, the galaxy's most powerful corporation has built a massive, secret research base surrounding it. Their objective: unlock the secrets of the artifact and discover what it holds inside.​ But some mysteries should remain buried, and some doors should never be opened…One of the things I really love about Derelict is how rich the world is -- they don't spoon-feed you the lore, but there's a constant trickle of information as you listen that really tells you so much about the setting, and I really love that.

We open on Dr Eva Graff, leader of a group of scientists who've been working on opening the door for the past year. But the Vault, as they've called it, isn't opening any time soon and their employers are starting to lost patience. And Eva has her own reasons for not wanting to return to the surface...Here's episode one -- I really hope you enjoy it as much as I did.
