From Audible Originals and the team from RiffTrax comes a new multicast, comedy sci-fi series featuring “intergalactic tales of intrigue and Olympic heroism.” You had me at RiffTrax! The Pole Vault Champion of the Entire Universe or POLE VAULT, for short, takes you on a journey in which high school student Kara Everglades is swept up in her loose cannon of a grandfather Cornelius Everglades’ wild plan of legitimizing his island micronation by hosting a sham Olympics there. Who knew 9-Krelblax and his giant alien spaceship advancing on her grandfather’s country would be a part of the teen’s cure for boredom. The all-star cast includes voice actors and performers Bill Corbett (MST 3K), John DiMaggio (Futurama), Jackie Kashian (The Jackie & Laurie Show), Colin Mahan (Halloween), Kevin Murphy (RiffTrax), Mike Nelson (MST 3K), Eliza Skinner (Drop The Mic), Dulce Sloan (The Daily Show), Reggie Steele, Paul F. Tompkins (Bojack Horseman), Janet Varney (You’re the Worst), Scott Vermeire, “Weird Al” Yankovic, and Sasheer Zamata (SNL). I thought that would get you excited! Listen to a track from the series featuring Weird Al and Janet Varney in which Kara Everglades is surprised with copious amounts of emotion as Principal Dunbar grieves the passing of his dear father. Enjoy Boo Hoo! Pole Vault will be available on Audible January 17th!
