Outcaster is more than a radio show. It’s a creative
project where music, storytelling, and characters
come together in one continuous broadcast.
ABOUT
THE SHOW
Outcaster Radio is a broadcast shaped by music as much as the voices behind it. Led by Captain Tanaka and her radio show, the signal unfolds through her musical selections, while complemented by her crew of misfits.
At the core of Outcaster Radio is its crew, a mix of irreverent, crazy, loving, talented pilots, who have no problems sharing their thoughts and ranting in order to make our days just a tad more fun.
MEET THE CREW

CHO
Fighter pilot, tactical planner, voice of reason.

Navigation, bomber pilot, chef, morale booster.
SILK
Fighter pilot, eager rookie, optimist.
THE TEAM
BEHIND
Outcaster Radio is brought to life by a team of creators. Lab C is an audiovisual production company created in 2019 with the idea of promoting original, aesthetic, ambitious, and unconventional projects.
A laboratory for horror, comedy, science fiction, animation, and contemporary art,
as well as documentary and non-fiction, through media such as film, theater, digital, and television.
HOW WE
USE AI
Outcaster Radio was created, above all, to build a community.
The story, characters, universe, and artwork
are all crafted by talented artists,
screenwriters, and audio/visual designers.
SEASON 1
For Season 1, as an experiment, we used AI to assist with scripts, voices, video, and music. This exploration allowed us to maximize the efforts of our small team, push creative boundaries, and scale up our project. The truth is, as artists ourselves, we’re still figuring out how we feel about AI in all capacities.
As the project grows, we’ll share more about our individual processes and personal perspectives. In addition to welcoming fellow Outcasters into the fold, Season 1 is an informal casting call and fundraiser.
For Season 2, we hope to have the budget to feature musicians, voice actors, illustrators, and animators.
But before anything else, we want to pay fair wages. So first—let us sell a million Outcaster t-shirts and a few dozen anti-gravity Crazy Chapman mugs (patent pending).
