Rachel Bloom, Sam Richardson, and D’Arcy Carden team up in this Audible series exclusive
Aux Features Aux
A new Audible series from the creators of the Thrilling Adventure Hour combines the easy listening of a podcast with the serialization of a TV series. Ben Acker and Ben Blacker (which are, somehow, not just anagrams of the same person’s name, as far as we know) created Cut And Run, the daring story of organ thieves who struggle with moral relativism and identifying ficus plants. Cut And Run features the voices of Meg Ryan, D’Arcy Carden, Sam Richardson, Rachel Bloom, Thomas Lennon, and Ed Begley Jr.
Samantha (Carden) and Abe (Richardson) are best friends who steal kidneys for as yet unknown reasons. But Samantha makes sure they target only “dishonest people,” while Abe, a doctor, uses the money from their black market dealings to fund his research. The A.V. Club has an exclusive audio trailer, complete Samantha and Abe’s shenanigans, some doubts from Begley Jr., and an appearance by Lennon. Ryan assumes her final form by playing a kind and all-knowing narrator.
The six-episode series for your ears premieres January 31 on Audible, and is available for pre-order.

“combines the easy listening of a podcast with the serialization of a TV series”So… radio?
If it was radio, it would be hosted by KBLM’s drive-time DJs, Stinky and The Gooch.
or the DJ 3000
It’s a real shame how the slow murder of radio theater in the US means that now that people are doing audio plays again we have to hunt for weird ways to describe them. “It’s like a podcast, see, but it’s fictional, and they have sound effects…”
This sounds awful.
I’m actually impressed by how little I care about something full of so many celebrities I adore.
That’s not what an “Anagram” is.
