MISSION BRIEFING
A note from Space Ward creator Matt Fowler
Hello and thanks for stepping on board The Gallant. If you've made it this far I'm assuming you've already listened to some episodes and become a part of our characters' world and I could not be more humbled by your support. Science Fiction has always been an important part of my life. From a young age I was obsessed with the X-Files, Star Trek: The Next Generation, First Wave, and anything Stephen King. Scifi is part of what drove me into the entertainment industry and I believe it holds a vastly important place in the past, present, and future state of humanity. After becoming a fan of podcasts like The Bright Sessions, Girl in Space, The Adventure Zone, etc. and producing a number of short films and webseries, I finally felt compelled to sit down and write my own audio drama. We have some incredible talent on board (many of whom are also cast members of the new Koei Tecmo video game Dynasty Warriors 9) and we couldn't be more proud to be tackling these issues and to have such a great fan base behind us. Thanks for stopping by. #nevergiveup

ERIN STEGEMAN
as NAV OFFICER LEONETTA
Last week I hiked 12 kilometers and descended 120 meters (the Statue of Liberty and a half) into the magma chamber of the Thrihnukagigur Volcano in Iceland - the only volcano on the planet you can do that.
I did yoga poses among the rainbow-painted bottom, took a volcano selfie, made a twitter joke, blogged about my experience, and am now developing a post-apocalyptic comedic/sci-fi feature set in Iceland.
But my absolute favorite part of the day was eating hot soup with the locals right after our wet and very chilly trek.
I am a dork and a dame who is drawn to life experiences, big and small. Whether it's branding a product, directing experiential theater, creating web series, event planning, or writing and acting in movies, I bring a bold point of view (and a bit of fun) to everything I do.
My goals in life are simple:
1. Marry the love of my life
2. Become a mother half as loving as mine
3. Own a dog
4. Do good work with people I respect
5. Eat a $100 mango in Japan
6. Travel to all 7 continents
The rest is just fabulous subplot.
