- An astronaut hurtles toward Mars with an unanswered question. Author/actor Stephanie Vlahos gives a performance that blurs author with character, thought with creation, fear with love.
- Welcome to Vegas and a very long weekend, that is to say, welcome to the fictional meta verse of Mercury's Wake where the paranormal, alien encounters, parallel universes, quantum jumping, and karmic destiny can't hold a candle to the gamble of real life - a podcast that has a stickiness of a comedic, sci-fi, soap opera on steroids, telling the before-and-after of an unforeseen tragedy. You want me to talk about irony? You want me to feed into other people's tragedies? You want me to paint a picture? Hell, it'll take me years to tell you what I saw... Mercury's Wake moves from London to New York City, Connecticut, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Kentucky, Texas, and the Nevada Desert, oh, and Mars. Before Chaos - Intro * Welcome to the meta verse of Mercury's Wake (the podcast)* where the paranormal, alien encounters, parallel universes, quantum jumping, and karmic destiny can't hold a candle to real life. Episode 1 Trust me, it'll all just get weirder - The Book of Imani Fresh from her sorrows, Imani joins Geoff on an LA carpet ride as Geoff's star rises courtesy of the book JOHN K. Becoming more Hollywood by the moment, Geoff loses sight of anything that matters while Imani realizes there's nothing for her in Hollywood. Next stop: Vegas where stuff just gets weirder while Imani evaluates her life, moving from the absurd to the absurd, between dream and the dreams cape of Caesars. As she meanders the casino, Imani discovers an arcade and a mysterious character from Last Chance, Colorado. Episode 2 That's mine, by the way - The Book of Bozzy She was stand-in' in the doorway. Southerner and luck junky, Bozzy O'Reilly hightails it to Vegas for a walk on the other side of an alien planet - Las Vegas. Bozzy reflects on the origin of his name. His reflections take him back to being a kid working with his dad at the Kentucky Derby. He skips his last class in college and hightails it to Vegas where, aided by his Muse, Bozzy finds more than he expected - a game of Blackjack with a bunch of drunken guys on a Stag night and an Englishman who is not only a card shark but a disturbing introduction into Bozzy's unknown past. After the game, Bozzy moves on, walking back into the present, a conversation with Imani Cosmos in the pop-up Keno room that might be a parallel universe.. Episode 3 What Drama May Come - The Book of Bozzy Bozzy and Imani might believe the pop-up Keno room is a figment of their imaginations, but they have no intention of leaving, at least until Bozzy has to work. The two share in the wisdom of JOHN K and Imani tells a story she rarely shares about a Swami. The conversation is interrupted by a text request from a fellow bartender asking Bozzy to fill in at Cleopatra's Barge. There, Bozzy meets a strange character sitting at the bar, who asks Bozzy to read a scene from his script about a pop star violently turning on his audience. Later, when Bozzy leaves the bar for work, he bumps into a woman walking through the casino in desperate search of the elevator and her life. Episode 4 Vegas is for opportunists - The Book of Rhea Rhea Quackenheimer LLM is lost in the Caesars Palace casino and riddled with neurotic reflections on herself and her life, all of which are amplified by a tragic game at a Craps table. Eager to exit the Craps game, she collides with Imani. When Rhea gets back to her villa, she opens the book JOHN K for the first time. The book was given her by her client, DJ-gone-crooner Weirdo Cool. Cool is in Vegas for his concert performances of Weirdo Cool's Wild Ride and he's more than a client. But frantic reflections on a misspent life, an erstwhile romance, not to mention her recent past mixed with JOHN K's provocative prose threaten to overwhelm an otherwise determined Rhea to the point where she finds herself sitting on the terrace railing of her Caesars Palace villa contemplating suicide. Episode 5 Room Service The end of Day 1, or is it the end? We follow Bozzy on a less-than-ordinary night of room service. Rushing in to work, Bozzy is greeted by Danny, the kitchen manager, who tasks Bozzy with a number of deliveries, the least of which are a delivery to a sexy woman in room 1612 and a mafioso with a yen for cannolis and Pernod. Bozzy delivers to room 1612 where he is, sure enough, greeted by a naked woman. Candida Maxima is a stripper with huge ambition and on the rise. After a long conversation, Candida gives Bozzy a copy of JOHN K in which Bozzy discovers a pair of tickets to closing night of Weirdo Cool's Wild Ride at the Vegas Pompeii. Off to his next delivery, Bozzy is greeted by gruff barks when he arrives at the Marcus Aurelius Villa where he meets Rhea Quackenheimer. Bozzy shares his understanding of gambling and a little bit about himself, but he's running late on his delivery to a mafioso! When Bozzy knocks on the mafioso's hotel suite door. No answer. Bemused and concerned, Bozzy enters the suite. It's alarmingly empty. Cautiously, Bozzy walks onto the terrace and discovers a man standing on the other side of the terrace railing. He rushes to stop the guy from jumping...
