Mission to Zyxx is a space opera comedy podcast series, created by and starring Alden Ford, Allie Kokesh, Jeremy Bent, Seth Lind, Winston Noel and Moujan Zolfaghari. The series premiered on September 6, 2017, and concluded its run on September 22, 2022, with the completion of its fifth season.^[1] The series was produced on the AudioBoom network for its first two seasons, before switching to Maximum Fun for the remainder of its run.

Mission to Zyxx is a science fiction story set in a fictional universe where most of the known universe is under the authority of the Federated Alliance, and follows a crew tasked with acting as Federation ambassadors in the Zyxx Quadrant, an isolated part of space, to establish diplomatic relations with the inhabitants of its many planets. The overall story arc revolves around the crew progressively coming to revolt against the Federation and confront threats to the universe. 99 episodes were released, alongside a number of special episodes, mostly christmas-themed, shorter, or performed live in front of an audience, which are also part of the series' continuity.^[2]

The series features almost exclusively improvised dialogue from its cast members, which are typically given a setting for each episode; it features an overall narrative arc, while focusing on mostly self-contained episodes. The six creators form the main voice cast, usually starring in each episode as the show's main characters alongside a guest actor portraying a character centric to the episode. The recorded dialogue is later edited for pacing by Ford and Bent, with Shane O'Connell adding music and sound effects reflecting the events featured in the story.
