Ars Paradoxica (stylized as ars PARADOXICA) is a science fiction podcast created by Mischa Stanton and Daniel Manning.[1] In-universe audio recordings tell the story of Dr. Sally Grissom, a scientist from the present day that accidentally invents time travel and is sent back to the USS Eldridge in 1943.[2] The series was originally aired from June 2015 to June 2018.[3]

Ars Paradoxica's production was funded in part via their Patreon, which garnered them around $800 a month as of 2017. The show has also received several awards, including best writing, best engineering, best new show, and best show overall from the site Audio Verse.[4]
