Bonus Feature! Madison on the Air Presents: Anticrastination
Anticrastination is a comedy audio drama that follows a pair of people trying to reinvent themselves as they make a podcast (called “Anticrastination”) about reaching goals and getting organized—when things go horribly and hilariously wrong. Kip is a former radio newsman desperate to restart his career before it’s too late. Free spirit DeeDee is trying to find a purpose for herself after years of seeking. They are joined by their inflexible sound engineer, Magnus, who feels like he’s wasting his life. Things get even more chaotic when a guest expert ends up staying longer than planned! We hear their train wreck of a show in each episode driven by their struggles with validation, relevance, and self-esteem. It's one part screwball comedy, one part parody, and one part heartfelt struggle for success. Find them on the web: https://alienghostrobot.com/
