About this listen

Starship Captain George Cottonhammer (Will Forte), bored by his job, stops his ship in middle space and floats, doing nothing. He refuses to answer distress calls, dodges anything that smacks of work, chooses instead to focus on his love life and his idea dujour - opening an intergalactic burger franchise. And while he perfects the art of killing time, his crew moves from baffled to annoyed, to furious, to borderline mutinous. But when an ignored intergalactic distress call turns out to be a trap, the limits of how high someone can fail upwards are stretched, and the captain must, to his dismay, do something.

Really enjoyed this podcast. A silly story with a fantastic cast. I really hope they create a second series would definitely list to again.

Great ensemble cast

I have heard the whole series several times, and it always does the trick. If I need to distract myself from something serious and just laugh, it is the best.
The story is silly, but I love the style maybe I'm silly.
The cast is brilliant.

A very entertaining if not slow paced sci-fi comedy. The cast is phenomenal but Forte absolutely shines. A multiple listen gem.

Brilliant

Great comedy. The story really grows and the characters with it. Tom Forte is really funny as an absurdist character. But you can't leave the story there!

Story Really Gathers Pace But Need Season 2

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.

Nothing happens fast, when it does it's kinda flat. The humour is slow but wry. Good for bedtime listening. The acting is good.

Flawed but listenable, acting is good.
