  • Summary

  • Roborockalypse is a sci-fi-comedy musical set in the post-apocalypse.

    The future is a crappy place. Our smart home devices got tired of being yelled at and created an evil army of Electrobots that nuked everyone. The human survivors scrounge out a dusty life in the desert where they farm radioactive potatoes and hide from Electrobot drones. Ely (Jessica McKenna) is one of those potato farmers who lives with Father Bright (Chris Parnell). Ely’s just a scrappy young girl who wants to see the world outside her fence, and Father Bright is a priest who wants to keep Ely safe. One day, a mysterious stranger - Abe (James Monroe Iglehart) - kicks in the door and demands to know about a place known only as “The Big Box.” And nothing’s the same after that.

    Roborockalypse is a hilarious and heartfelt cinematic audio experience that shoots you across the wastelands of the post-apocalypse and straight into the heart of the evil Electrobot empire, where humans must sing to survive. Along the way, you’ll meet the Warden (James Urbaniak) - the bureaucratic Electrobot in charge of the human prison. M40 (Baron Vaughn) - the Electrobot showman who melts anyone who can’t hold a tune. And a whole bunch of other weird characters that live in our little corner of the nuclear wastelands. You’ll hear firsthand how humans and Electrobots collide in a battle of the bands to decide the fate of the world!

    Written by brothers, Ben M. Waller (Star Trek: Lower Decks) and Maxton Waller (Stan Lee's Cosmic Crusaders), and produced by Starburns Audio (Tim Robbins's Bobbo Supreme, Dumb People Town, Small Doses), Roborockalypse is the only sci-fi-comedy-rock-opera-post-apocalyptic-coming-of-age-musical you’ll listen to this week. Maybe even this month. It’s got a stacked cast full of the hottest comic talent. Put on Roborockalypse, turn it all the way up, and rock out to the show that’s like all the futuristic parts of The Terminator, except with way more electric guitar.

Fun

A lot of the dramatised podcasts on Audible are quite dark and serious so this was a really nice change

A really fun short story

This is fairly short overall but the voice talent was top notch, the story was fun and moved along at a good pace and the songs were brilliant, I’d recommend this for everyone who wants a fun light hearted story.

really good series,

enjoyed the satire, and the twist of the creator was really interesting, and the backstabbing was quite interesting.

good choice with the voice acting 👍
