Hubris is a labor of love from a chaotic group of podcasters who decided a 24-hour podcast challenge sounded like a good idea. We assembled several Creative Teams from a large group of podcasters from around the world, made up of writers, audio producers, and voice actors to create a single-episode fiction podcast within a 24-hour period from start to finish. An understudy is tasked with learning the lead role overnight before making their big debut. The trouble is, that’s a bit difficult to do when the theatre is distractingly haunted...will the ghosts help or hinder their attempts to get off-book? This episode contains some swearing and sword fighting sounds. Transcript here. Writers - Caroline Mincks, Molly Alexander. Script Editors - Caroline Mincks, Molly Alexander. Director - Cole Burkhardt. Dialogue Editor - Cole Burkhardt. Sound Designer - Trace Callahan. Composer - Trace Callahan. Transcriber - Caroline Mincks. Cassie Hayes was voiced by Molly Alexander, Daniel Proctor was voiced by Cole Burkhardt, Ms. Torres was voiced by Trace Callahan, and Cecily Wolverhampton and Stage Manager Tabitha were voiced by Caroline Mincks.
