In an alternate America, JFK survived—and didn’t just win the Space Race. He never stopped.

Now it’s 1972, and JFK’s ever-expanding space empire is ripping holes in space-time itself—erasing people, places, and entire histories from existence.

The only ones who might be able to stop him? Nancy Kranick (Emmy nominee Natasha Lyonne), a former moon nurse lying low in Hoboken, New Jersey… and Richard Nixon, tangled in a conspiracy so bizarre it stretches from the Moon to a Shakey’s Pizza to a parallel-universe Watergate.

As JFK tightens his grip on an Empire of the Stars, Nancy and Nixon must reunite and track down the fragments of a mysterious, reality-warping metal—hidden across space, time, and alternate dimensions—before history is rewritten for good.

From Emmy-winning writer Bill Oakley (The Simpsons, Futurama, Portlandia), Space: 1972 is a bigger, stranger, and more gloriously off-the rails sequel to the hit Audible Original Space: 1969.

Good journey but the last 40 minutes they dropped the ball. I liked the first one more.

Nixon and Nancy were strong voices and sold it beautifully. The other characters were good foils for them. It did occasionally get slightly confusing who was speaking

Great fun listen and beautifully performed

Hey Audible, I'll listen to pretty much anything with Natasha Lyonne. Love her. The whole cast is good. It's a bit campy but a lot of fun. A story that really could only work in this audio format. I look forward to the next instalment.

Entertaining silliness

Definitely has my kind of humour. Too many laugh out loud moments! Some historical figures as you've never seen them.

Creative & Funny

Just superb. We want more. Whoever acted Dolly Parton, I take my hat off to you. Superb performance everyone.

When's the next in the series?
