Your Broadcast To...

Your Broadcast To... is the eighth episode in Chapters.' third season, subtitled Bad Things Happen At Noon. Your Broadcast To... is based off of a concept and story outline by Mike Barkhoff, while it was written and handled by Zach Delfs as the credited director. The concept of the episode is that of a radio show sending messages to anyone that may be surviving at the end of the world.

Cast
Mike Barkhoff as Radio Man

Background
Due to Season 1 having an episode at least partially in black and white (b&w) and Season 2 having an episode that was entirely silent (The End Of The Tunnel), Barkhoff felt it would be wrongful to not have a special episode in the third season.

Initially interested in an animated concept, Barkhoff was going to turn to friend and associate Drakoloid but couldn't due to the latter's busy schedule. Thus, Barkhoff presented Delfs the idea and asked him to be a guest director, quoting his idea for Season 3 being "one episode me, the next a guest, the next me, and so on." and saying Delfs needed to be involved.

Production
Barkhoff recorded the audio on his own and sent it to Delfs for further review. Barkhoff also acted as the audio engineer for the radio show, editing distortions into the vocal effects.

Plot
A broadcaster searches for people replying to his signal as he discusses the end of the world and trying to take cover and protect yourself, but he comes across no one, instead just receiving distorted audio waves, which, when reversed, form an alien like speech. Upon realization, the place of his broadcast's origin is attacked.

Reception
The episode received mostly positive reviews, with it's main criticism being towards it's nature of barring no visuals, but also for Barkhoff's audio engineering, with some feeling his 'alien voice' attempts were overkill.
