A Hybrid Radio Drama/Rpg? Looking for interested 'Actors'.

Hi! Some of your might have seen my other post, detailing what Bad D20 is and recruiting people. Well I'm back and this time with a particular project in mind. I think it's pretty interesting but I need your help! Here's the premise in mind: The short of it? Take Rise of the Apes and Dawn of the Apes and combine them with Fallout and Walking Dead. Using a homebrew system, some detailed storytelling and player description, tons of IC and clever editing to make it a radio drama format. The long of it - Plot Near future - Mankind in her inescapable need to learn and create, gives birth to it's very end. It creates a virus, and like most children, at some point it rebels against it's creator. No-one knows anymore, who is to blame. The virus destroys the known world. Well, the modern world as realized by human beings. This virus is a quick study, it constantly mutates and scientists and doctors fail in every attempt to reign it in. It crosses species boundaries, though most non-human organisms only become carriers. The only species it's lethal too, the great ape families. It spares none. 67% of mankind is dead in ten years, the other great apes fare a little better, they aren't so packed into tight little cities but it touches all of them. Humans, bonobos, chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans. It's particular recipe for lethality? Uncontrollable violence, the loss of all reasoning and only one defining goal, to draw blood. Though it has varying transmission vectors such as air, water and feces, it's primary manner of transmission is through bodily fluids. Mankind literally tears itself apart, somehow, the virus recognizes itself in others, infected form packs and run the streets like rabid dogs. They hunt, tear and kill uninfected. Those that survive, soon succumb to their wounds, or infection from a outside source. It's the same with all the great ape species. Evil in a test tube. It's not all a loss though, there are many who are immune, in all the apes. Those that are not torn apart learn to survive in this new world. Only going out at night when a good number of infected have bedded. Another interesting change in the world is a very small percentage of the great apes contract a unique mutated version of the virus, this particular rare strain advances the apes along the evolutionary track. They are faster, they are stronger and, more importantly, they are smarter they are extremely rare though, in some countries there might only be a dozen and they live lonely, solitary lives. It is now two decades after the initial escape of the virus, this apocalyptic world is not a place of desolation, but a place of bounty. Nature has reclaimed the cities, and once near extinct creatures have made a comeback. There are small human settlements scattered around the world, trade takes months, when it use to take days. Bandit's and violent tribals are a constant threat and people are still out there lost in the wilderness. Then, there's the always looming threat of packs of infected but those who would have been infected already have been, so at least there's that. This story is the meeting of a group of humans and one of the evolved apes, a Chimpanzee. Here's the problem, I need a skilled and dedicated DM to weave a world around this premise. It's a long shot. I also need a team of vocal, charismatic players. I think three others. We need to beable to keep most interaction during the game IC and keep cross talk to a minimum. I can edit, but I'm not great at it so a editor would be swell too. Again this is part tabletop game (rolls and things like that), and part radio drama (recorded heavy roleplay). If this interests you, throw me a line on Skype DnvnQuinn or alternatively and a slower method, leave me a message on here. The time zone is MST and it would be during the week on one of these days M, THUR, FRIDAY. It can be played anytime starting at 9am and would have to be over by 3pm, regardless of when we start.
I'd like to make it a point to say that the DM would have freedom to alter the world, choose a system and the like. So long as he kept in the spirit of the premise.
