Chapter 1: What is 'We Fix Space Junk' about?
Hey folks! Today on the feed, we're thrilled to get the chance to share with you all one of our favorite audio dramas of all time. It's called We Fix Space Junk, and it's from our friends at Battlebird Productions.
We Fix Space Junk follows seasoned smuggler Kilner and reluctant socialite fugitive Samantha as they travel the galaxy, dodging bullets and meeting strange and wonderful beings as they carry out odd jobs on the fringes of the law. When Kilner accepted the job of smuggling escapee Samantha Trapp across the galaxy, she expected the job to be over and done with quickly.
But now, they're stuck with each other. And they have a job to do. We Fix Space Junk is a story about debt, space repairs, and friendship featuring two strong female protagonists. Their main aim in life is to survive long enough to reach the next job. It's Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy with some Pratchett in there for good measure.
We Fix Space Junk started in 2018 and has been broadcasting for eight years now, and episode one of their long-awaited season four just released on March 23rd. You can listen to We Fix Space Junk anywhere you get your podcasts.
We Fix Space Junk by Beth Crane. Episode one, Escape from Hargen IV.

Chapter 2: Who are the main characters in 'We Fix Space Junk'?
Go away. I'm not signing any more autographs.
Sweetheart, it's me. We've only got 10 minutes.
Fabio?
I came back for you. I told you I would. Come on, this way.
Is that man okay?
He's fine. Just step over him.
He's bleeding. Rather a lot, really quite a lot. That is quite a lot of blood, Fabio.
He was like that when I got here. Do you want me to rescue you or not? Come on.
AUT News. News on the hour, every hour. You join me outside the courthouse where the accused, Miss Samantha Trapp, is due to stand trial. For Miss Trapp, the last six months have been a rollercoaster. Formerly a member of the social elite with a social media following of millions and a nightlife I think we've all envied at one point or another. Wait, hang on, I'm getting an update.

Chapter 3: What themes are explored in 'We Fix Space Junk'?
She is being reported as armed and extremely dangerous and should not be approached under any circumstances.
Looks awfully suspicious to me.
Of course it looks suspicious. If it was innocuous, I could move it myself. You're a smuggler. You smuggle things.
Well, the whole point is the packages look ordinary. This crate just screams fleeing errors. It's too big and too new and too stylish. Nobody transports cargo in polished tigerwood crates.
Please, we have no other choice. We're desperate people.
Desperate people are my favourite kind of client. You've done all the paperwork?
Yes.

Chapter 4: How has 'We Fix Space Junk' evolved since its inception?
So that's a third of the payment now, and the other two thirds when we meet you at the Crab Nebula.
And I'll have had time to prove her innocence by then.
Sure you will. And the payment's already been set up, yeah?
You'll get your money, so long as she's safe and sound at the end.
And you know what happens if you don't pay up.
I've read the contract. Can we hurry this up? I don't want to get caught by customs at the last minute.
I'm just checking. I've signed a few contracts in my time. It's good to know what you're letting yourself in for.

Chapter 5: What is the significance of the new season release?
Jeez, she's heavy for a socialite. She's in the other crate. And this is?
Luggage, obviously. Just the basics.
I'm not taking it. You've paid for one person. I've fuelled up and stocked up for one person. Not a crate full of... I'm not even sure what half this stuff is.
Well, you're not living the haute couture lifestyle. We're paying you well, extremely well.
I have a lot of subsidiary costs. Like what? I'm taking one person and one small suitcase. Think of me as the easy jet of the smuggling business.
We don't do budget.
Think of it as minimalist.
She's not going to be happy.
She'll live, unlike the guards she killed on the way out. Okay, now clear off.

Chapter 6: What challenges do Kilner and Samantha face in their journey?
I guess my ship is a little dirty. I suppose you couldn't see it. I'm so sorry. I'm so untidy for a woman.
I guess it could happen to anyone, right? Anyone at all. It's a harmless mistake.
Yeah... You have a nice day now.
I can go?
Go on.
Well, that was a little cruel.
Obnoxious little creep. He was about three seconds away from asking to speak to the man of the ship. I guess the closest thing would be you. And you're a computer. Oh, come on. Pile of junk.
Hey, less of that. I don't take it out on you when you park badly.
Sorry.

Chapter 7: How does the plot develop with the introduction of new characters?
Yes, I'm... What happened to your face?
What happened to yours? What? That nose is natural, is it?
Well, no, but it's like, you've got like... Sorry, I've never actually met a full-on one of you before. I mean, I've got a friend with a robot hand, but I think it's ironic.
You can say it. It's not a dirty word.
You're a... Sorry, I mean, I'm just... I'm a cyborg. There you go.
But, like, can I ask you what actually happened? Some things. Like what? Mining accident. Industrial accident. Radiation. Crocodile. Et cetera, et cetera. I can go on. Oh, you've gone all pale. Little tip for you. If you wonder whether you should ask something, 90% of the time, it's better not to.
So, what do you call this place?
Put that down. This is the Yellow Submarine. Why is it called that? No idea. It was secondhand and changing the name was a hassle. Right. You've not been cryo'd before, have you? Excuse me? Cryo'd. Put in suspended animation.
I know what it means, but nobody cryo's anymore.
