In Media Res

Dramatized dark comedy
This show was binge-ready, but now it's not. 😢

It may have switched to an "always on" status, or the creator may have stopped using Season Number and/or Episode Number values. Or they're inconsistent with their tagging, have removed episodes, or made other changes—intentional or not—leading to a less-than-binge-ready listener experience.

Or... it could be our fault. We might have listed the show too early, and episodes are still releasing. Regardless, it's currently in a state that disqualifies it from being listed in our directory, as it's no longer binge-ready.

Dramatized dark comedy
Yikes! Something odd is happening with this show making the episodes inaccessible or the entire show no longer binge-ready.

Show synopsis

This show uses machine-generated voices

When Alex Eli (Kyle Prue) is plucked from obscurity and offered the role of franchise megalith Jack Stellar, booking the gig is only the beginning. In a whirlwind week of media training, he is thrust into the deep end of shark-infested Malibu waters. As he’s broken down and reinvented, Alex can’t tell who to trust. There’s the agent who needs him. The director who mentored him. The father who abandoned him. Loyalties are tested as the clock runs down to “Xander’s” livestreamed reveal. When the cameras start rolling, who will be at his side…and will he even be himself anymore?

Best enjoyed with headphones.

"This fast-paced story of the worst side of Hollywood reminds me why I left L.A. 30 years ago. Don't let that put you off. It's a fantastic listen, with great production voice talent. And there are tunes!"Evo Terra
