Cartoon Island - A Surreal Comedy of Survival – Details, episodes & analysis

It's a quiet one. Until it's not.

And then it really, really isn't.

What starts as a quiet day catching up on some messages in a bottle, suddenly takes a turn. Or a spin. Or a warp? Honestly, I genuinely can't say exactly what happens.

But it's a doozy. 

And the two end up somewhere new. And also, not at all...

Remember Balloonfest '86 ?! The ill-conceived fundraising event in Cleveland in 1986 that released over 1.4 million balloons into the sky and was immediately deemed to be a self-inflicted, man-made disaster? 

Neither does Bailey, the collective consciousness of approximately 5000 of those original balloons. Apparently, it takes several weeks for a balloon consciousness to form. But he's seen the footage of his "birth" I guess we'll call it?

Anyway, on his life's journey to find and regroup with the other balloons from that day, he comes upon two sad sacks stranded on a tiny island...

Bailey is performed by Waleed Mansour.

Waleed is a comedian and artist in Los Angeles. He is the co-host of We're Dead and Awesomely Awful.

Hi, Barbara here! In this first edition of my new podcast recommendation show, I present to you the first episode of the fantastic, sci-fi dark comedy, 

inc: The Podcast, from Wolf Mountain Workshop.

In the creator's own words: Bethany and Jonas are two pencil-pushing aliens living and working on a company ship that incorporates whole planets by the dozen, tasked with organizing all of the data that is recovered from said planets. They get through the endless days by occasionally adding meaningful stories that they discover to the Extraneous But Interesting folder, all the while navigating the complex web that is friendship and life in this corpo-futuristic nightmare. A science fiction podcast where Douglas Adams meets The Office. Where Severance and Mad Men meet Robert Heinlein. 

After listening to this episode, follow the show wherever you listen, keep on listening to new episodes released every other Monday, and check out more about the show and the great people behind it over at https://incthepodcast.buzzsprout.com/2067661 and wolfmountainworkshop.org

Until next time!

Jason has some ideas about the nature of the island. Maybe he's onto someting. But sometimes it's hard to differentiate a good idea from a coping mechanism. Potato potato, perhaps? 

And Bradney's just over it.

Following the trauma of encountering the indescribable, incomprehensible horrors of his underwater outing, Bradney seems a little different today. 

Maybe he's finally warming up to this place. Maybe he's just completely disassociating.

It's hard to say. Jason isn't a qualified...well, anything really.

Perhaps Bradney can talk to his catch o' the day...  

Oh and there's a pretty shattering discovery at the end too.

This place just doesn't let up, does it?
