Debuting in August 2020, Modern Escapism was created as an outlet for our team to get together and discuss their hobbies, interests and passions in life.
Before we started, none of the team had ever met in person, only via the internet. It was our host Oodles, who had previously done other podcasts who put a call out in a discord group to see if any like-minded people fancied getting creative to start a new podcast.
With a ragtag team of people with similar interests and creativity, ideas soon flowed. The shows format was decided, logos were created and soon after Modern Escapism was born. Over the months we became close friends, tightened up our format and even added an additional member when Candy joined the crew in May 2021. We've gone from strength to strength, building a passionate audience and honing our craft.
In June we successfully launched our Patreon and our sister podcast, a Dungeons & Dragons actual play podcast called 'Do Dragons Dream of Scorched Sheep?'

In a distant future, water is so scarce and rationed that it is considered an immensely valuable substance, both as a commodity and as a currency in ice cubes. The Templars of Mithra control the water and they destroy worlds that have natural water, leaving the galaxy virtually dry. Pirates dedicate their lives to raiding ships and looting the ice from the cargo holds to make a living.
The Ice Pirates is a 1984 American comic science fiction film directed by Stewart Raffill, who co-wrote the screenplay with Krull writer Stanford Sherman. The film stars Robert Urich, Mary Crosby and Michael D. Roberts; other notable featured actors are Anjelica Huston, Ron Perlman, Bruce Vilanch, John Carradine and former football player John Matuszak.
