Podcasts about Expanse

JKL Media Podcast returns after a week off and reviews "Home," The Expanse Season 2 Episode 5 (aired Feb. 22, 2017), which also completes the first book's arc. Jesse, Lou, and Karen call the episode tragically beautiful, focusing on the poignant finale of Miller and Julie, the reveal that Julie's longing for home drives Eros, and Miller's redemption in steering Eros to Venus, raising new questions about the protomolecule's future. They note the Rossi's high-G chase and crew cohesion, Holden's role in earning trust from Fred Johnson and Chrisjen Avasarala, Mars refusing to help, and political fallout as the UN learns Holden is alive. They discuss protomolecule behavior around the dead, OPA neck tattoos, and rate the episode 9–9.5/10. 00:00 Wedding Geek Opener 01:20 Expanse Episode Setup 02:18 Quick Reactions 06:02 Miller and Julie Finale 10:00 Lou Rewatch Insights 16:33 Roci Chase and Trust 20:15 Crew Moments and Captain Holden 21:56 Trusting Holden Again 23:05 Fred and Drummer Moments 23:58 Avasarala and Arjun Call 25:57 Why She Stays on Earth 27:49 Themes and Worldbuilding Depth 29:15 Loose Ends and New Questions 32:57 Proto Clues and Next Episode 35:12 Ratings and Where to Find Us 38:37 Wrap Up and Farewell

This episode of All Pop, No Culture is built around two major TV conversations: Monarch (Season 2 kickoff) and Paradise. Kevin and Andrew break down how Monarch Season 2 feels tighter and more focused than Season 1, with a stronger horror-leaning tone, clearer momentum, and mythology that finally starts to pay off (Axis Mundi and time-dilation mechanics). They also dig into character focus—why the adult core is carrying the series and why the “kids” are working better this time. They then shift into a spoiler-light recommendation for Paradise, covering its hook, timeline structure, character-driven storytelling, and why it feels like a show with an actual endgame plan. The episode also includes a continuing Ted Lasso “converted skeptic” conversation, a quick Apple TV+ quality rant, a sci-fi deep dive comparing For All Mankind and The Expanse (including books vs show).

Burnie and Ashley discuss gold follow ups, insane collectibles, Paramount's junk status, GoT, Korea's slippery fingers, screen sharing mishaps, God of War first look, and The Expanse.

In this episode of Timeless Spirituality, Daniel sits down with returning guest Stacy Carlson to explore her experience with The Expanse Method, his new regression method designed to foster self-empowerment rather than surrendering authority to something outside of oneself.Stacy shares how The Expanse Method felt different from previous work she's done, more immersive, more detailed, and ultimately more empowering. What unfolds are three striking lifetimes: an experience of isolation as starlight in space, a peaceful village life marked by presence and acceptance in the face of cancer, and a powerful gladiator story centered on sacrifice, brotherhood, and dignity in the face of death.Rather than romanticizing the past, the conversation wrestles with real themes: consequence, choice, morality, sacrifice, bypassing, and what it means to act with integrity even when circumstances are brutal. One of the most powerful moments comes when Stacy is encouraged to choose discomfort over ease during the session itself. She does. And that decision becomes the thread of the episode.Empowerment is not about avoiding pain. It is about consciously meeting it.Stacy's bio:Stacy Carlson, is a Spiritual Medium/Channel, End-of-life Doula and an Indigenous business owner. She loves connecting with people and helping them connect to their own spiritual entourage (Passed loved ones, spirit babies, Angels, Spirit Guides,  Ancestors etc.) Instagram & TikTok: @stacy.carlson.soul.speakEmail: Stacy.carlson.soul.speak@gmail.com

JKL Media breaks down The Expanse season 2, episode 4, "Godspeed," an hour where political maneuvering, moral compromise, and cosmic terror collide. We follow three major threads: Avasarala quietly weaponizing Fred Johnson's intel to expose a stealth ship and tighten the net around Jules‑Pierre Mao; Miller convincing Tycho to launch the Nauvoo on a one‑way mission to shove Eros into the sun; and Holden facing the weight of command when he personally fires on the Marasmus to keep the protomolecule from spreading. As Miller and Diogo race to plant charges on Eros, debris, countdowns, and near‑sacrifice push the tension to the breaking point — until the final twist reveals Eros isn't just drifting… it's moving. We dig into the episode's character‑driven stakes, its political chess, and why "Godspeed" marks a turning point for the series. Plus, a preview of next week's episode and where to find more of our shows and channels.

This week on Radio Labyrinth, we welcome author Scott A. Young to discuss Fabricants, the explosive second installment in The Manifold Series — and the audiobook is narrated by our own Tim Andrews.After awakening from stasis on a galaxy-crossing colony mission, commanders Trapp and Bretta discover something terrifying: hundreds of Fabricants — the colony's synthetic workforce — have been neatly disassembled into lifeless piles. The survivors? Violent. Unstable. Rogue.Tim also shares what it's like narrating high-stakes sci-fi — finding the voice of commanders, synthetic beings, and galaxy-spanning tension inside a recording booth.Then we expand the conversation into the larger audiobook boom — sparked by recent buzz around Stephen King's upcoming Talisman trilogy finale — and why more readers are choosing to listen instead of read.If you're into The Expanse, Blake Crouch-style paranoia, or smart sci-fi that asks whether humanity is destined to be destroyed by its own creations — this episode is for you.

 Hosted by Lou, alongside Jesse and Karen, the episode review highlights significant plot points, character arcs, and intricate relationships. The team discusses pivotal moments such as Miller's drastic actions against Dresden, the strategic tensions between Earth and Mars, and the burgeoning dynamic between Naomi and Drummer. They analyze Miller's psychological journey and the moral complexities of key characters like Christian and Amos. Additionally, they speculate on the next steps to tackle the proto-molecule threat and the fate of the Nauvoo spaceship. The episode features a blend of deep dive analyses and light-hearted banter, making it a must-listen for fans seeking a comprehensive breakdown.

“Chosen Realm” 20th-anniversary reflections The Enterprise crew already knows that there is something unusual about the spheres scattered around the Delphic Expanse, but the extent to which some locals hold them sacred comes into focus when they bring aboard of a group of aliens who find scientific examination of the globes to be paramount to sacrilege. As these extremists attempt to commandeer the ship, Archer and his crew learn that they are in conflict with a rival group who view the spheres in a slightly different way, with extraordinary consequences for their shared home world. In this episode of Warp Five, hosts C Bryan Jones and Matthew Rushing continue our 20th-anniversary retrospective that takes you through all of Star Trek: Enterprise, one episode at a time. In this installment, we continue Season 3 with “Chosen Realm” as we discuss its real-world parallels and how it ramps up the mystery of the Expanse while propelling us into the second half of the season.

In this week's episode, we chat with Chris Pramas of Green Ronin Publishing! We hear about adapting a series of novels as a TTRPG, implementing spaceship combat without writing a physics textbook, and the importance of considering what a fantasy city would smell like. Our conversation goes deep into the lifecycle of a tabletop game, the economics of the publishing industry, and the complications of crowdfunding. Spoilers abound for The Expanse and Broken Earth novel series. Thanks to Reilly for editing out the part where Jake tried to say "Fifth Season" but accidentally said "Fifth Element".Chris Pramas is the founder and co-owner of Green Ronin Publishing. They're the publisher behind Mutants and Masterminds and Fantasy Age as well as some very in-depth adaptations. We talk about the adaptations for The Fifth Season as well as The Expanse in quite a bit of detail, but their original content like Lost Island of the Pirate Queen is also extremely fun and flavourful. This year has been their 25th anniversary, so they've been doing some cool monthly specials. Also, the bankruptcy of their physical books distributor has had them in a bit of a bind over the past few months, so possibly consider helping them out?Green Ronin Publishing also has some community sites for people interested in building their own game supplements:AGE Creators Alliance is for Adventure Game Engine supplements.Chronicle System Guild is for Sword Chronicle supplements, which is the genericized version of the A Song of Ice and Fire system.Atomic Think Tank is a forum for Green Ronin TTRPGs more broadly.Chris has some great recommendations for nonfiction history:SPQR: A History of Ancient Rome by Mary BeardThe Bright Ages: A New History of Medieval Europe by Matthew Gabriele and David M PerryReturn of a King: The Battle for Afghanistan, 1839-42 by William DalrympleWilliam Dalrymple and Anita Anand's podcast EmpireFinally, while we were putting these show notes together, we found the program for GenCon 2000, and it's an excellent examples of turn-of-the-century TTRPG graphic design.

Snak-Lytter Cem kaldte Star Maker “storslået, tidskrævende, men mindblowing”. Han havde ret på alle tre punkter. Storslået? Absolut. Syret? Uden tvivl. Men også en rigtig hård mundfuld at komme igennem. Fra lyngbakke til galaktisk bevidsthed Bogen starter forbløffende jordnært. En unavngiven englænder sidder en aften i 1937 på en bakke og betragter stjernerne, mens han tænker på sit liv og sit ægteskab. Hans kone sidder inde i det oplyste hus. Men så sker der noget radikalt: Hans bevidsthed løsriver sig fra kroppen, og pludselig kan han se gennem jorden – gennem klipperne, gennem planetens kerne – og ud i kosmos. “Looking down, I seemed to see through a transparent planet, through heather and solid rock, through the buried graveyards of vanished species, down through the molten flow of basalt, and on into the earth’s core of iron. But our home had vanished with the whole suburb, and the hills too, and the sea.” Her begynder den mest ekstreme kosmiske rejse i science fiction-historien. Først tilbringer hovedpersonen lang tid alene i det tomme rum, deprimeret og ensom. Men så opdager han The Other Earth – en planet befolket med menneskelignende væsener, der har lange ben, flade hoveder, og som lugter gennem hænderne. De har ikke meget musik, men til gengæld har de duftradio, hvor man kan opleve andres seksuelle oplevelser gennem lugten. Ja, det er præcis så syret, som det lyder. “In compensation, scent and taste developed amazingly. These beings tasted not only with their mouths, but with their moist black hands and with their feet. They were thus afforded an extraordinarily rich and intimate experience of their planet.” Hovedpersonen opdager, at han kan glide ind i de fremmedes hoveder. Han bosætter sig i kraniet på en halskør filosof ved navn Bvallthu, og gradvist smelter de sammen til en fælles personlighed. Fra denne sammensmelting vokser noget langt større. Hive minds, intelligente stjerner og kosmisk teambuilding Stapledon stopper ikke ved én planet. Nej nej. Vores hovedperson møder plantemennesker, insektlignende sværme (hvor enkeltindividet er dumt, men sværmen udgør en intelligens), symbiontiske krabber og edderkopper. Og – naturligvis – intelligente stjerner, der ikke bare kredser om den galaktiske kerne, men faktisk danser og kommunikerer med hinanden i kosmisk poesi. Hele tiden udvides den kollektive bevidsthed. Først én planet. Så flere. Så hele galakser. Stapledon bruger disse møder til at reflektere over civilisationers cykliske udviklinger. Igen og igen ser vi samfund, der når et vist niveau af udvikling, hvorefter det hele bryder sammen i konflikt og krig, og de må starte forfra. Stapledon – filosof, pacifist og ambulancefører under Første Verdenskrig – havde tydeligvis nogle meninger om 1930’ernes Europa. Duftradio-beskrivelserne lugter af propaganda-kritik. Men alle disse civilisationer, alle disse møder, peger mod ét mål. Mødet med den kolde skaber Bogens klimaks er mødet med Star Maker – universets skaber. Men det er ikke et kærligt, varmt møde med en omsorgsfuld gud. Nej, Star Maker betragter sit kosmos med den kliniske interesse, en kunstner har for sit værk. Han noterer fejlene. Føler ingen stolthed. For det her kosmos er bare ét eksperiment i en lang række. Star Maker er stadig i udvikling – fra baby-starmaker, der lavede legetøjsuniverser (ét univers bestod kun af musik uden rumlige dimensioner!), til mester-starmaker, der skaber stadigt mere komplekse kosmosser. Vores univers? Meh, et mellemstadie med “irrevocable flaws”. “For I had been confronted not by welcoming and kindly love, but by a very different spirit. It seemed to me that he gazed down on me from the height of his divinity with the aloof though passionate attention of an artist judging his finished work, calmly rejoicing in its achievement, but recognizing at last the irrevocable flaws.” En teologisk vision, både fascinerende og foruroligende. C.S. Lewis hadede den så meget, at han kaldte den “amoralsk” og skrev sin Space Trilogy som modsvar. Men Arthur C. Clarke elskede den og kaldte den den mest indflydelsesrige bog i sit liv. Efter mødet vender vores hovedperson tilbage til bakken, til lyngen, til konen i huset. Men nu med et radikalt ændret perspektiv på menneskehedens plads i kosmos. Og hans kone? Hun må have været bekymret. Han har været væk i milliarder af år – selvom der kun er gået et øjeblik. En bog der ikke er en bog Stapledon skriver selv i forordet, at bogen “by the standards of the novel, is remarkably bad. In fact, it is no novel at all.” Og han har ret. Intet plot. Ingen karakterudvikling. Ingen dialog. Bare en filosofisk meditation, en kosmisk traktat, en 300 siders stream of consciousness. Sproget er tungt – næsten 100 år gammelt og tit vanskeligt at følge. Som Anders siger: “Det føltes som en bog, der var skrevet 100 år før den faktisk blev skrevet.” Gang på gang beskriver Stapledon nye planeter, nye racer, nye samfund – som alle gennemgår de samme cyklusser. På et tidspunkt begynder man at skimme. Anders indrømmer blankt, at han “skimmede 10-20 sider ad gangen” gennem store dele af bogen. Men den er også fuld af idéer, som formede science fiction: Hive minds, galaktiske imperier, intelligente stjerner, telepatisk kommunikation, multivers-teorier. Kim Stanley Robinson sagde det bedst: “Every few pages contain all the material of an ordinary science fiction novel, condensed to something like prose poetry.” Vurderingen Jens: ⭐ (én stjerne). “Jeg havde ikke læst den færdig, hvis det ikke var for Sci-Fi Snak. Det er simpelthen killeren på en bog. Jeg kan godt se, at der ligger kvaliteter i den, men den er utrolig træls og langsomt skrevet. Jeg havde absencer, mens jeg læste.” Anders: ⭐⭐ (to stjerner – men med et spaltet sind). “De første 100 sider var smukke og poetiske. Den 17-årige hippie Anders indeni mig blev vakt til live af den kropsløse bevidsthedsrejse i kosmos. Men så blev det repetitivt. Jeg var tæt på at forsvinde helt ud af bogen.” En bog for alle? Næppe. “Hvis ikke jeg var 100% sikker på, at Henning allerede havde læst den, så ville jeg nok anbefale den til Henning,” griner Anders. Men hvis du er forfatter og leder efter idéer? Så er Star Maker en idébank uden lige. Arthur C. Clarke, Asimov, Le Guin og Kim Stanley Robinson lod sig alle inspirere. Og hvis du vil have en special science fiction-oplevelse – lidt spirituel filosofi, lidt mind-blowing kosmisk vision, lidt Iron Man læseoplevelse – så kan Star Maker være noget for dig. Jens og Anders har SCIFI SNAKKET Star Maker.

E-reolen og Libby har gratis biblioteksmaterialer (danske og engelske). Mofibo har et stort sci-fi-katalog. Og så er der selvfølgelig Audible. Julerabat fra Science Fiction Cirklen: Lise tilbyder en decemberrabat på den danske udgave af Stjernemageren – 200 kr. i stedet for 298 kr. Det er faktisk ret fedt, at den findes på dansk! (sciencefiction.dk) Rettelse: David Mondrup, som anbefalede Zoi, er ikke Jane Mondrups mand – de er fætter og kusine. Undskyld, David! (Episode 99 af LæsDen! handler i øvrigt om Zoi) Mail fra Søren Bjørn-Hansen: Søren skrev fra sit sygeleje, hvor Sci-Fi Snak var “en tryg favn når febervildelserne raser”. Han gav input om Arthur C. Clarke og geostationære satellitter – Clarke skrev om kommunikationssatellitter i Wireless World i 1945 og forudså atomdrevne raketter inden for 20 år. Sådan gik det ikke helt. Søren foreslog også, at vi læser James Coreys The Mercy of Gods (den nye bog fra teamet bag Expanse-serien). Næste gang Anders vælger: Naomi Aldermans The Future (2023) – en nærfremtids-thriller om tech-milliardærer, der får en advarsel fra deres predictive software: apokalypsen er på vej, og de skal ned i deres hemmelige bunkere. Samtidig følger vi Lai Zhen, der pludselig bliver jagtet af en lejemorder og kun overlever takket være mystisk software på hendes telefon. Margaret Atwood kalder den “gripping”. Lauren Beukes: “A little Atwood, a little Gibson, all Alderman, it’s brilliant.” Alistair Reynolds: “A rollicking, fun-packed thriller.” Vi håber på en page-turner efter Stapledons filosofiske sejtrækker. Bonus-anbefaling: Se Guillermo del Toros nye filmatisering af Frankenstein på Netflix – der skulle være ret bognær. Måske vender vi tilbage til det senere.

The crew explores the mysterious asteroid 532-Herculina and makes a chilling discovery.

This episode highlights what makes The Expanse Method different from traditional regression or intuitive work. It explores how the method pushes past surface-level insight and brings people into direct contact with the parts of themselves they usually avoid — the fear, the history, the patterns, and the truth underneath the story. It also breaks down why discomfort is an essential part of the process, how ego shows up when you're close to real change, and what happens when someone is finally ready to stop running from their own inner world.Kylie's bio:Kylie Kay, also known as the demon slayer, is a gifted Psychic Medium with over a decade of experience in past-life regressions and soul healing.

Daniel sits down with returning guest Dana Marie for an episode that dives into everything from Greek philosophy to the death penalty, metaphysics, faith, and the uncomfortable gray areas in between. Drawing on her background as a lawyer, philosopher, and lifelong question-asker, Dana unpacks justice, vengeance, free will, and what it really means to take a life — legally, spiritually, and metaphysically.Together, they examine the difference between justice and revenge, the weight carried by jurors and judges, and the unseen consequences that ripple across lifetimes. By the end, the episode becomes less about punishment and more about the human condition — why we believe what we believe, how we grow, and how God or the universe nudges us toward what we actually need.Check out THE EXPANSE METHOD.

The crew is caught in a deadly ambush when they pry too deeply into the mystery of the missing scientists.

In this episode, Daniel welcomes Feryn Malagarie back to the show to talk about her recent experience with The Expanse Method. After previously working together years ago, this session took a very different turn. Feryn describes what it was like to step straight into the difficult parts—not bypassing, not softening, but actually facing what she had been carrying. The conversation explores what it means to confront the parts of ourselves we'd rather avoid, how strength can look quiet and internal, and how reclaiming your own voice is sometimes the whole point of healing.Check out THE EXPANSE METHOD.
