THE EXPLOSIVE FINALE IS HERE! Cher and Javier face faceless hordes of evil AI and electric scooters in a race to save their lives and (if there's time) the world. Will they escape to Cher's homeworld and leave us all in the hands of the Personeum Corporation? Will they stand and fight against the impossible odds? Will there be a Season 2? Some of these answer will be found here and two sentient beings' lives will NEVER BE THE SAME! Parasitecology is a darkly comic SF audiodrama about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend. If you enjoyed this series, please tell a friend. We love reviews but, honestly, we love it even more when people tell others about the show. This has meant a lot to us and hearing from people who have listened to it has made the (rather painstaking) work to get it in your ears worth it. Hearing them recommend it has been even better. Thank you, folks! Please note: While Parasitecology is a comedy, it incorporates the serious and, for us, highly personal topic of mental health, including dealing with anxiety, depression and suicide.

3 EPISODES LEFT IN SEASON 1! It's episode 12 of Parasitecology and Javier & Cher find themselves on the run from the Personeum Corporation and their thousands of devices watching you, listening to you, and definitely smelling you all the time. Where can they hide and formulate a plan where no one could possibly find them? I'm not saying it's the library, I'm just saying it's definitely the library. As we all know, however, the library contains everything you need to avoid an alien invasion so they should be good. And what's this about Stargates? Wait, Cher has reminded me they are not called Stargates, that is ridiculous. So what are they called? Listen now to find out! Parasitecology is a darkly comic SF audiodrama about a suicidal nerd and his alien parasite best friend. It's produced with spirit, gumption, and a new brand of gumption-flavored spirits. It's chalky but really good if you want to forget the last three days. Please note: While Parasitecology is a comedy, it incorporates the serious and, for us, highly personal topic of mental health, including dealing with anxiety, depression and suicide.
