Marvel Entertainment and SiriusXM have announced their newest original scripted podcast, Marvel's Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show!, is now available on all platforms.
The six-episode podcast series is written by Ryan North, directed by Giovanna Sardelli, and has original music by Justin Huertas and Steven Tran. It stars Milana Vayntrub as Squirrel Girl, Crystal Lucas Perry (Nancy Whitehead), Leo Sheng (Koi Boi), Davied Morales (Chipmunk Hunk), Peter Hermann (Brain Drain), Erica Schroeder (Tippy T. Squirrel), and Tina Benko (Rachel Oskar).
The new series follows college student, Doreen Green, who has recently been outed as a superhero – The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl! Hoping to unify her personas in the public eye, Squirrel Girl has created a new student radio show on ESU’s own college station. With the help of her best girl-friend, Nancy Whitehead as producer, and her best squirrel-friend, Tippy-Toe in the booth; Doreen is ready to help more people than ever with her greatest superhero advice.
However, not all the folks on the line want help – some want to crime – and crime hard! When a suspicious caller wreaks havoc on New York, Squirrel Girl and her friends will have to put their heroics to the test and prove that once and for all Doreen is the Unbeatable Squirrel Girl.
This is not North’s first foray into writing Squirrel Girl. His comic series, The Unbeatable Squirrel Girl, had a four-year run and garnered a devoted fan-following. North wrote an all-new Squirrel Girl vertical comic tie-in that launches today on Marvel Unlimited, Marvel’s digital comic subscription service. The Squirrel Girl one-shot, which is a prequel to the podcast, is now available on the app.
The first episode of Marvel’s Squirrel Girl: The Unbeatable Radio Show! is available now on all podcast platforms. Fans can also get early access to next week’s episode starting today via the SXM App or by subscribing to Marvel Podcasts Unlimited on Apple Podcasts, which also has exclusive bonus content!
