Hello, this is Rob Trevino, co-creator of Parasitecology and other podcasts from ohthehumanity.com.
We’d like to thank those who nominated us for the Audio Verse Awards. Audio fiction for us and, dare I say, our fellow nominees, is a labor of love and listener support is incredibly important to all creators. We appreciate it greatly.
Parasitecology is a darkly comic sci-fi audio drama about Javier Duran — a suicidal nerd — and his alien parasite best friend, who has taken the name of Cher Gandhi Statham. After a traumatic episode, the pair strikes a deal: Cher gets free room and board, living in Javier’s brainstem. And Javier gets something he has never had: control over his spiraling emotions and crippling anxieties.
Their bond grows… until they stumble upon a devious plot endangering both their worlds, perpetrated through viral social media campaigns. But how can they save the world if they can’t get out of bed?
There are 14 episodes in the first series of Parasitecology, with each being about 25 minutes. There’s comedy, action, drama, car chases, heartfelt sacrifices, homicidal electric scooters, uncomfortable work happy hours, and much, much more.
If you haven’t listened, we hope you give the show a try.
Please note: While Parasitecology is a comedy, it incorporates the serious and, for us, highly personal topic of mental health, including dealing with anxiety, depression and suicide. If you or a loved one in the United States is at risk of self-harm, please: get help and call the National Suicide Prevention Hotline at 1-800-273-8255.
Thank you for your time and consideration and we hope you enjoy our silly show about serious things.
