Happy Thanksgiving! Short week, short episode. But we're terribly glad to have you all as listeners on our show! Thanks for stopping by and we hope you have a good, safe, and warm holiday this year. Take care.
Happy Veteran's Day! A much-needed respite from work has granted us the time to produce this episode ABOUT... Dissatisfaction and how to really give it a one-two punch. Truthfully there's more about pedophiles, World War I, and the Playstation 5 than there is about How To Be Happy™, but in any case we hope you're doing well and take some time to listen. Take care.
Very personal monologue recounting memories of the past in the wake of a family member's passing.
Christopher Columbus was a bad person; but in the United States, there's still a federal holiday celebrating him. In the American historical canon (read: things people believe that aren't actually true), he 'discovered America' and proved that the earth wasn't flat. In reality, he violently raged around the Bahamas, making people his slaves and spreading diseases. Host of the Solluna Project, James Azurin, debunks some misconceptions about the Italian explorer and brings some of his more evil deeds to light. Thanks for listening.
After going to a family friend's baseball game, Solluna Project host James Azurin is back with a show that's... actually pretty positive. James goes over some of the highlights from the past couple of weeks, as well as reasons to Be Alive, or at least to feel some kind of positivity. Hoping you're all staying safe, healthy, and passably positive. Cheers. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
Translated from the Chinese term "報復性熬夜" (Bàofù xìng áoyè) or 'Retaliatory staying up late', Revenge Bedtime Procrastination is a syndrome that might just explain all the sleepless nights you may have had for no reason at all. If you've ever traded sleep for just a few more hours of fun or to do something you're interested in, just to regain some sense of control in your life-- join the club! Students and adults that have their whole days blocked out for them, filled with responsibilities and work, have begun to skip out on their sleep, just to have a sense of free will or personal choices. Passively staying awake for no reason, just to scroll down your endless news feeds, now has a new name. Thanks for checking out the Solluna Project. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
[Personal Episode] Instead of a trivial, informational, commentary, or political episode, host James Azurin opts to share some personal details of past and present trauma, in an attempt to sort out his own thoughts and feelings. Feel no pressure to listen through; this episode serves as an exercise in self-reflection and honesty, rather than something that would generally otherwise benefit the listener. As always, we appreciate your tuning into the Solluna Project Podcast. See you on the next one.
