Season 3 update!! - Saturday - Feb 1, 2025

Julian here, and I'm just going to get down to business, since we're so excited over here at StarTripper!! HQ. I'm happy to report that we are well into our casting process for Season 3, and more than that, we have our first recording session for new episodes happening on Monday, Feb. 03! That's in two days! Production has now begun in earnest, and oh baby is this going to be a busy spring. We can't wait to reveal who agreed to play with us this season.

It will be some months yet before new episodes are set to release, and we will of course update you all with details when they crystallize. The scripts are all in (I think we did a pretty kakking good job), and now we have the rest of the alchemy to perform before we can transport you to some fantastic/fantastical new locales. Thanks as always for sticking with us, and we look forward to the next step in the journey with you.

If you're looking for more science-fantasy listening in the meantime, our own Mischa Stanton & Ian McQuown have been doing wonderful stuff at The Wandering Path -- that's wanderingpathpod.com -- an actual-play podcast in set in the city of New Prosper. It's a feast for fans of Final Fantasy, mysteries, anime of all stripes, dogs, baked goods, mascot outfits, and more. (I help out a little bit now and then - below is some fanart I did)

 We'll be checking in again soon, probably sooner than 4-5 months. Thanks for your patience, and for being excellent to each other, and in general.

All best ,

Julian M

Production Update - Sept. 05, 2024

Hello travelers! Julian here, with a quick update to let you wonderful folks know that Team StarTripper!! has begun the casting process for Season 3! As with every season thus far, we'll run into many folks from different worlds and walks of life, and we look forward to encountering some old friends as well!

When we made season 2 back in... 2022 (shhh time is made-up), we had the pleasure of being able to include the voice talents of quite a few dedicated Patrons. Season 3 is being cast with the same idea in mind, so we will have more details on how that will go before long. Keep an eye out, and be nice to your vocal chords in the meantime!

We'll be sending out more in-depth casting calls as we work through the top-priority tasks. If you are a voice actor, or know a voice actor, who would like to join our little universe, just know that a chance will present itself soon. More information to follow, and we can't wait to get back to our voyage with you!

Thanks for everything, and fly well

Introducing: News & Updates!!

Hello travelers! Julian here. Welcome to the News & Updates section, our answer to the fatigue of keeping up with social media in its many lurching, confusing, draining forms. We want to give you the essentials, or answers to key production questions while we get Season 3 together. 

Question 1 on your minds is likely: BUT WHEN? That’s fair. As mentioned in an update we recorded for this weekend – Saturday, Feb 17, 2024 – we feel confident in a 2024 release. We have half of the season written, and discussions have begun over who to cast. To be honest, there may be one or two recast parts, but if we do our jobs right, you won’t even notice who they are. Life moves on, and some folks just aren’t available how we’d like. Ian just started a new job, it’s tough out there all around.

That’s no problem though – we’re here to make ear cartoons.

Hey, on a side note, we hope everyone reading this is doing all right, or enjoying something if things are rough. ST!! might not be the fastest to update, but there’s always something zowy coming out. Patrons can always drop by the show Discord and tell us what’s up, but if you just want to do that via email, you can! Tell us about a book or anime that we shouldn’t deprive ourselves of, or shower thoughts about ST!! because Zai knows we’ve had a few ourselves.

Stay tuned to this channel for more updates, in what feels like a very Old Internet move! I say that with pride, because some things just work. We live in the age of the PS1 de-make, after all.

(btw Signalis is incredible and lives rent-free in my head, please play it)

That’s it for now, see you back here soon!

Safe travels, and thanks as always,
