Hello Lifeforms! Here's What You Just Got Yourself Into!
"Claimed By... TBD" is a fictional Substack and podcast feed. If you spot similarities to actual events, then HOW ARE YOU NOT THE MOST FAMOUS PERSON IN THE WORLD?! Learn more about this Substack here.
“Claimed by TBD” is a sci-fi comedy podcast series written and performed by me, Becky Feldman (host of the romance novel podcast Too Stupid to Live). For you busy showbiz-types, here’s an elevator pitch for the show. (For everyone else, this is just a synopsis.)
A romance podcaster, whose ultimate fantasy is to be abducted by sexy aliens, DOES encounter sexy aliens! But getting stranded on an uninhabited planet makes her fantasy scenario an absolute nightmare. With only her podcasting gear and zero survival skills, she documents her miserable experience even if no one will ever hear it.
The podcast (right now) consists of two seasons. Season 1 is currently out and will be re-released as Substack posts in the days leading up to Season 2 (starting January 2nd, 2026).
As the episodes are re-released, you can also read each chapter if you’re one of those people who only do Substack “for the articles”.
Season 2 will release mid-January 2026 (and will include chapter transcripts if you hate the sound of my voice saying “alien jizz”.)
You can listen to the podcast for free (with ads) on your favorite podcasting platform such as:
Apple Podcasts
or Spotify
Otherwise, if you hate ads AND have the means of contributing financially, you can get a paid subscription where you don’t have to hear about the latest deals from Morongo Casino Resort & Spa.
Subscription fees help support ongoing episodes of Too Stupid to Live as well as this Substack. If you already have a paid subscription on TSTL, you’ll have lifetime free access to a paid subscription here. Shoot me a message if the previous sentence you just read makes no sense or if you have any other questions.
And if I don’t respond, that’s because I’m bad with technology. In which case, you can email tstlpod@gmail.com. (Yes, I finally figured out how to email.)
Finally, this Substack includes fictional blog posts “written” by Sharon Manovich providing you with lifestyle tips when marooned on an uninhabited planet.
Welcome to the chaos.
