In the thirty-second century, Lieutenant Marcus “Crash” Lunar, the Astral Federation’s Action Hero, and his Boy Sidekick, Ensign Clifford “Cliff” Hangar, travel across the far-reaches of the solar system searching for adventure and a way to fight off the threat of the Empire of Saturn and its evil leader Lord Axanar

“Great stuff!! WOW!!!! You’re on a roll! Keep it up! Keep it up! Keep it up!”

“THIS IS AWESOME!!! But have you hear the latest crash lunar??? Is it me or is the quality of the work of Grubi getting better each time... I just love the way he is able to do all the voices, yet, since he uses really colorful caracters and expressions that all fit together, I am able to visualize each one differently!!! I love the way the action flows, the little step each time, leaving us hanging a little further down the road. I can’t wait to have enough episodes to burn them on a CD and give copies to friends!!! This is GREAT stuff!”

Brought to you by Warp-Os cereal (and a 12-year-old unrecorded script by Chris Gruber), “Crash Lunar” is THE sci-fi radio serial you’ve been looking for! Download each part as it becomes available! They’re in living S*T*E*R*E*O-phonic sound!

“The Crash Lunar project is totally awesome.”
— Brian Lee

Inspired in part by the Firesign Theatre’s characters in “Mark Time,” Crash and Company were created by Chris Gruber during the fall of 1992. Despite several attempts at recording the scripts in ’92 and ’93, these episodes were never recorded until this year. New episodes (starting with number 66) have been written in 2004.

“I freakin' love Mr. District Defender! ...[Li'l Baby Piggy is] Sickeningly cute.”

Other Shows

We don’t just do "Crash Lunar" here at the Wireless Audio Theatre. No, we love and respect the classic and wonderful tradition of old-time radio so much that we’re producing other high-quality programs. Our love of radio has helped produce, for example, the adventures of Li’l Baby Piggy. In an inadvertent tribute to Fanny Brice’s classic Baby Snooks, Lisa Skovalia steps in with a cute voice and a hilarious portrayal of a little pig in the human world, always getting into trouble.

In the tradition of classic radio comedy, it’s “Li’l Baby Piggy”: The story of an adorable little pig who gets into mischief with a giggle. Starring Lisa Skovalia as Baby Piggy.

“Mr District Defender”: A performance of Bob & Ray’s script from From Approximately Coast to Coast... It’s the Bob & Ray Show. Guest-starring Lisa Skovalia!

“[I]t was funny! ...it does capture the spirit of old time radio. Lisa does a good job as Baby Piggy, too!”

About The Wireless Audio Theatre

Chris Gruber (Your Humble Producer) writes, performs, and produces everything Wireless Audio Theatre does (with little exception where noted). From 1997 to 1998, he was a news anchor for WVFS-FM in Tallahassee, Florida — so you know he’s experienced in radio. He’s also put in a few years of writing and recording his own productions — since 1986, he’s worked with Pat McAdams (as The Obscene Psychedelic Sounds), Dale Glassmeyer (as the Social Misfits), and even a short-lived comedy troupe he taught, the Inside Joke.

“Being a radio star, like in the 1930s, has been a dream of mine since I was a kid,” he admits. “But I’ve always been so disappointed that the Golden Age of Radio was over about twenty years before I was born.” To answer that problem, he’s created the Wireless Audio Theatre. “Here’s hoping that my dream, in some way, can come true. Perhaps I can inspire a few other folks to create their own productions and try to recapture that old-time radio spirit.” In fact, anyone who wishes to join in the fun can certainly apply to be a part of the Wireless Audio Theatre.

“It does sound very much like old-time radio comedy, of which I am a fan... This retroradio project is really cool, and I look forward to more!”
