We will be actively fundraising through April, but will always appreciate any donations while we're in production through the summer. We have a dedicated donation link, but we also accept Cashapp, Venmo, and Paypal.

Be sure to check out our Donations page that goes into detail about the many incentives for donating, our areas of need, and a constantly updated "frequently asked questions" section, but feel free to contact us if need be!

We had this idea on the backburner for years. After graduating college, I realized I was in the same place in life that Mars is in, and also felt the urge to embark on something reflective and confrontational. This series is a tribute to anyone who finds themselves looking backwards because it’s too daunting to face forward. It’s a period in life that can be sad, but it can also be really funny, and I aimed to highlight the humor of this quandary through the talk show. This is my first time writing anything serial, and the first time anything I’ve written got produced beyond a 2 man crew. So, I’m extremely grateful for everyone who has helped us so far, and I’m excited for what’s ahead.

Adulthood for a lot of Gen Z is frightening. A growing climate crisis, fractured political system, and looming economic crisis have all taken place over the course of our lives leaving us with a critical question; what’s the point in fighting? It’s easier to laugh and delude ourselves. I think The Past, Tonight with Mars Apollo captures this sentiment perfectly, and it’s part of why I want to tell this story. We don’t have the courage to believe that we can succeed. We don’t have hope in a future. And so, Mars Apollo becomes a story of past, present, and future and how we, with all of our histories, grapple with the tension between all three. I hope it makes you feel something.
