"Call" or "Text" Manifesto Update for apocalyptic advice!

Manifesto Update: A Dramedy is an apocalyptic improvised comedy fictional call-in TV and radio show. This show is delivered as a podcast and YouTube show. Hosts: Sabrina Banes and Jen deHaan. More info: Show page.

About the show: Set in 2030, New York City and an undisclosed location in Canada, while the world is crumbling towards total collapse. Fascism, climate doom, societal upset... things aren't looking good.

What we're looking for: "Call in" to the show (submit audio) or write in (submit text) as a new fictional listener (or as "yourself"). Ask or tell us about anything apocalyptic, collapse related.

We will answer or respond to just about anything!

Be quirky! Be comedic! Be fun! Or serious if you prefer (though our responses might not be). You can ask or comment on anything collapse related, write a poem, detail your manifesto or a missed connection. Example topics: society collapse, climate collapse, DIY health and nutrition, munitions for self defense, helping others in your "sector", dating in collapse, HAM radio, building bunkers, helping wildlife, etc.

The only requirement is to "call in" as a new character we have not mentioned on the show, and is not known to the co-hosts. This helps reduce any potential continuity issues in our storyline. You can return as the same character if you want to later - we won't add anything new about your character in episodes you don't appear in.
