Status Report is a narrative podcast production company, established by the creative team behind the award-winning show Marsfall.
We started Status Report in 2023 to expand beyond Marsfall into other sci-fi, fantasy, and horror stories. We are currently writing and developing several exciting new shows to share with the world in the coming year.
Status Report is an all-phases-of-production creative company. We make high quality audio stories almost entirely in house and are available to hire for any of your production needs. Between our four core members, we have three writers, two producers, three directors, two actors, one composer, and two sound designers / audio engineers.
For now, check out our flagship show, Marsfall. If you like sci-fi, Mars, evil A.I., aliens, and explosions, you’ll love it.
Shows
Leaving Earth and its problems behind seemed ideal, but no one anticipated just how difficult colonizing Mars would be.
Marsfall follows some of the earliest colonists to settle on Mars in the year 2047, and each episode continues the story from a different character’s perspective. Led by their fearless commander Jacki O’Rania, and assisted by the artificial intelligence unit ANDI, they strive to make a home on the Red Planet while exploring its deeper mysteries.
