Meet the Suicide Squad: Jack Parsons, Frank Malina, and their crew. They’re a band of young engineers, chemists, and mathematicians who saw the limitless potential of aerospace before the field was even a field. In an effort to earn credibility, the squad plans a dramatic experiment — a critical proof of concept — to showcase a technology they believe could be the future of humanity. Will it succeed — or fail spectacularly?
LAist came to us with a rough concept for the show and we worked with their team to conceptualize the series, through deep research, with some help from outside researchers and fact checkers. Once we decided on a direction for the show, we booked and coordinated interviews, wrote interview questions, and recorded the interviews. The Western Sound team then edited the scripts, directed host tracking, and then produced, sound designed and scored the episodes. And finally delivered the finished episodes to the LAist team.
