This Audible original offering seems to me like a long and quite mad Saturday Night Live skit.
The story is very original and quite madcap. The voice actors are superb.
Whatever you do, don't get Nurse Kranich angry!
4 stars overall. (3 stars for the story. 5 stars for the voice acting.)
A very fun and energetic meta scifi comedy from one of the writers of The Simpsons, Disenchantment, and Regular Show, narrated/acted by a fourth wall breaking Richard Nixon. An alternate history where JFK survived the assassination attempt, with nothing but an even more bolstered popularity and a new roguish eyepatch for his lost left eye. After a brief coma, Jack leads the States upwards and onwards to the final frontier of space, forgoing political strife in Vietnam and the Soviet Union to focus on building a lunar colony. By 1968, the United States had already launched dozens of successful Moon landings, established bases, and quickly expanding America's consumerism. Come 1969, Hilton hotels, breakfast chains, and entertainment venues for the likes of Sinatra, Dean Martin, and Jerry Lewis make appearances.
We follow Natasha Lyonne's sassy smoker night nurse Nancy Kramich aboard Howard Hugh's space station, the Liberty Bell. What follows is a very fresh, entertaining, meta, scifi mystery comic romp, despite a lacklustre ending.
