Phillip Sevy is an artist who has spent the last few years drawing for Marvel on titles like X-Men (Astonishing, Unlimited, and From the Ashes), Avengers, Venom, Deadpool, and others. They broke into the comics industry through the Top Cow Talent Hunt, where they drew The Tithe and The Freeze, before moving over to Dark Horse for a lengthy run on Tomb Raider. They wrote The House (with artist Drew Zucker), and wrote and drew Triage, Paradox, and Kepler (with David Duchovny).

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Francine Prose: Reflections on 1974 and the Pentagon Papers Francine Prose, author of “1974, A Personal History” in conversation with host Richard Wolinsky. The author of twenty novels and ten books of non fiction, Francine Prose is best known for such novels as “Lovers at the Chameleon Club, 1932,” “The Vixen,” “Household Saints” and “Mister Monkey,” and non-fiction such as “Anne Frank: The Book, the Life, The Afterlife,” Francine Prose has also written two short story collections , and a picture book. Two of her novels have become films, and one, “The Glorious Ones,” became a Broadway musical. In this book, she recalls her time hanging out with Anthony Russo, who along with Daniel Ellsberg, was responsible for The Pentagon Papers, in San Francisco in 1974 and then a few months later, in New York, capturing the vibe of what it was like to live in that time and place, and differences between then and now. Complete Interview. Wes Craven (1939-2015): Master of Horror Movies. Wes Craven (1939-2015), noted director of horror and genre films, interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on October 13, 1999 while on tour for his one novel, “Fountain Society.” Wes Craven, who died at the age of 76 on August 30, 2015, was considered one of the masters of cinema's horror genre. Best known for The Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films, ,He was best known for two series of films, the Nightmare on Elm Street films, and the Scream series, which also served as an academic deconstruction of the genre. Starting life as a humanities professor, Wes Craven moved over to film as first a sound editor, and then film editor before turning to writing and directing with The Last House on the Left. Along with the first Nightmare film (and the deconstruction last New Nightmare entry), he directed all four Scream films, along with Red Eye, Cursed, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and the non-genre Meryl Streep vehicle, Music of the Heart. His first and only novel, “Fountain Society,” was published in 1999, and it was during his book tour that he stopped by KPFA where he was interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff. That interview was digitized and re-edited in 2017 by Richard Wolinsky.

“Contacto en Galaxia” – La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Enigmas** En este episodio de despedida de La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Enigmas, Radio Nacional de España nos acompaña a través de un fascinante recorrido por la imaginación humana y sus primeros intentos de concebir viajes espaciales, siglos antes de que la ciencia los hiciera posibles. Bajo la guía de Juan José Plans, exploramos cómo diversos autores, desde la Antigüedad hasta la era moderna, imaginaron naves, mundos lejanos y encuentros con seres extraterrestres. El programa abre con la figura de Luciano de Samosata, quien en el siglo II escribió Historias Verdaderas: una sátira de los falsos relatos de viajeros, pero también uno de los primeros relatos fantásticos sobre un viaje a la Luna. A través de su humor y exageración, Luciano ofrecía un universo poblado por selenitas que nacen de la pantorrilla, ejércitos vegetales y guerras entre los reinos del Sol y la Luna. Siglos después, autores como Nicolás de Cusa, Ariosto, Kepler, Galileo, Godwin, Cyrano de Bergerac o Voltaire desarrollarían sus propias visiones del cosmos, desde lunas habitadas por seres frenéticos hasta extraterrestres gigantes procedentes de Sirio. Cada uno, desde su época, utilizó la ficción para especular sobre la diversidad del universo y sobre la posibilidad —y las consecuencias— de viajar más allá de la Tierra. El episodio también revisa los primeros relatos de viajes lunares de la literatura moderna, con especial atención a Edgar Allan Poe, Julio Verne y H. G. Wells, cuyas obras anticiparon, con sorprendente exactitud, tecnologías y conceptos que siglos después se harían realidad: cápsulas espaciales, cohetes, máquinas del tiempo y encuentros con formas de vida no humanas. A través de estos ejemplos —a veces disparatados, a veces proféticos— el programa ofrece un homenaje a la imaginación como motor de descubrimientos. Aunque muchos de aquellos artefactos literarios eran imposibles, otros sirvieron de inspiración o precedente conceptual para los avances que culminaron en la conquista real del espacio. Como cierre de temporada, La Vuelta al Mundo en 80 Enigmas invita a reflexionar sobre la estrecha relación entre la fantasía y la ciencia, y sobre cómo la literatura ha moldeado nuestra forma de mirar las estrellas. Porque, en definitiva, antes de que los humanos surcaran de verdad el cosmos, lo hicieron primero en las páginas de los grandes visionarios. https://www.edenex.es

In 1600, Johannes Kepler arrived at Tycho Brahe's castle hoping to escape religious persecution and gain access to the most precise astronomical data in Europe. Their relationship was strained by clashing temperaments — Tycho's secrecy and pride meeting Kepler's impatience and ambition — yet their collaboration began to bear fruit as Kepler tackled problems of planetary motion and optical theory. Despite constant uncertainty, Kepler's time at Benátky marked the beginning of a partnership that would reshape astronomy and set him on the path toward his greatest discoveries.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Chelsea Quinn Yarbro (1942-2025) Tanith Lee (1947-2015) This program honors two master practitioners of horror, fantasy and science fiction, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Tanith Lee, with two interviews back to back. In the first, in 1983, Tanith Lee is interviewed by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro. In the second, in 1979, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro is interviewed by Richard Wolinsky. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro, who died on August 31, 2025 at the age of 82, was best known for her historical horror novels featuring the vampire the Count Saint.-Germain. Along the way, she wrote in several genres, including science fiction and westerns, and wrote over seventy novels, along with several short stories. Along with her writing, which includes a series of books about a channeler, titled Messages from Michael, she was a cartographer, palm reader, and composer. In 2009, she received the Bram Stoker Lifetime Achievement Award from the Horror Writers Association. She also wrote novels under several pseudonyms. In this podcast, Chelsea Quinn Yarbro joins Richard A. Lupoff to speak with Tanith Lee. In the second interview, she talks about her vampire hero. Count Saint-Germain, and about writing historical horror fiction. It was recorded shortly after her second San Germain novel, The Palace, was published, which would put it in late 1978 or early 1979.. Tanith Lee, who died of breast cancer in 2015 at the age of 67, also wrote fantasy, science fiction and horror, and her work is considered to be similar and a forerunner of the work of Neil Gaiman. She received a lifetime achievement award from the World Horror Convention in 2013. Nominated for several awards for her novels and short stories, she won the 1980 British Fantasy Award for her novel, Death's Master. In this first undated tnterview from Probabilities, most likely recorded at BayCon in San Jose in November 1983, Tanith Lee is interviewed by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Richard A. Lupoff. This is the only interview conducted by Quinn Yarbro for Probabilities. Tanith Lee's novel set during the French Revolution was eventually retitled The Gods Are Thirsty, and was finally published in 1996. You've been listening to an interview with Tanith Lee, conducted by Chelsea Quinn Yarbro and Richard A. Lupoff for the Probabilities radio program on KPFA.

What if music isn't just entertainment—but the very architecture of reality?In this paradigm-shifting episode we explore the radical proposition that vibration is not merely a metaphor. From ancient philosophy to modern neuroscience, near-death experiences to channeled symphonies, we trace a breathtaking arc across time and consciousness to uncover a unified theory: that sound, frequency, and resonance are the keys to understanding who we are, where we come from, and what reality truly is.We begin with the ancients. Pythagoras' “music of the spheres” and Kepler's celestial harmonics weren't poetic musings—they were mathematical assertions that the cosmos itself is structured like a divine instrument. From there, we zoom into the microcosm: the human being as vibrational receiver. Drawing on metaphysical sources like Andrew Jackson Davis, we explore the idea that every atom is a string in a divine orchestra, and that alignment—feeling “centered,” “in tune,” or “in one accord”—is not just metaphorical, but literal. Discord, then, becomes vibrational misalignment, a friction against the grain of existence.This sets the stage for one of the most compelling bodies of evidence: near-death experiences (NDEs). Across cultures and contexts, experiencers report hearing indescribably beautiful music—not as entertainment, but as truth made audible. Dr. Michael Newton's regression research reveals souls recognized by their unique vibrational signatures, suggesting that each consciousness is a distinct note in a cosmic symphony. Hospice workers echo this, documenting patients perceiving ethereal choral music moments before death. These accounts challenge materialist assumptions: if the brain is offline, what is doing the hearing?Next, we explore the human conduit: savants, creatives, and channelers who seem to access music not through learning, but reception. Cases like Leslie Lemke and Gloria with Williams syndrome suggest that profound musical ability may be latent in all of us, unlocked by unusual brain wiring or trauma. Dr. Alan Snyder's research proposes that inhibiting certain brain regions can temporarily reveal savant-like perception, implying that genius may be a matter of tuning in rather than building up.Then come the channeled currents. Rosemary Brown claimed to transcribe music dictated by deceased composers, while Stuart Sharp spent decades trying to capture the “Angeli Symphony” he heard after personal tragedy. Jacqueline Ott went further, channeling music from non-human intelligences—cosmic languages, liquid light, divine blueprints—suggesting a source beyond individual spirits, perhaps a universal vibrational database.This leads us to the primacy of consciousness. Drawing on quantum physics, Vedanta philosophy, and contact modality research, we explore the idea that consciousness is not produced by the brain, but fundamental to reality itself. Nobel laureates like Sir James Jeans and Erwin Schrödinger leaned toward this view, echoing ancient insights that the observer and the observed are one.If consciousness is primary, then phenomena like UFOs, NDEs, OBEs, and channeling may be different expressions of the same underlying truth: consciousness interacting with other layers of reality. Researchers like Dr. Kenneth Ring and the FREE group found that experiencers across modalities report similar transformations—less fear, more compassion, a shift toward love and service.And that's the final chord. Across all sources, the message is consistent: the purpose of consciousness is evolution. Not technological or biological, but vibrational. We are here to raise our frequency, reduce entropy, and harmonize with the larger consciousness system. The method? Unconditional love and selfless service.This episode invites you to reconsider everything—from the music you hear to the thoughts you think—as part of a cosmic composition. You are not just a listener. You are a note. A radiant tone in the divine chord.Are you in tune?
Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues Richard Powers: Playground, a novel about Big Tech and AI Richard Powers discusses his latest novel, “Playground” with host Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA studios October 31, 2024. Richard Powers won the Pulitzer Prize i 2019 for “The Overstory,” and the National Book Award in 2006 for “The Echo Maker.” He is also the author of “The Time Of Our Singing,” “Orfeo,” and “Bewilderment.” He has been a Booker Prize and National Book Critics Circle Award finalist multiple times. “Playground” brings together the history of Silicon Valley and the growth of A.I. with a look at deep ocean diving and the notion of floating cities in a story that circles back on itself, and was possibly written by an artificial intelligence. Complete interview Bebe Moore Campbell (1950-2025), Best Selling Novelist Bebe Moore Campbell (1950-2006), in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded August 23, 2001 while on tour for her novel, “What You Owe Me.” In her books, she explored racial justice, childhood obesity and the tensions in friendships between Black and white people; she shared the stigma of mental illness and memories of the summers she spent with her father in North Carolina. Bebe Moore Campbell died of brain cancer on November 27, 2006 at the age of 56, and was on the verge of recognition as a major African American novelist and journalist at the time of her death. Her first novel, published in 1992, Your Blues Ain't Like Mine, won the NAACP Image Award for Literature that year, and was a notable book in both the New York Times and Los Angeles Times. Her second novel, Brothers and Sisters, hit the New York Times best seller list after two weeks. Along the way, she became a regular commentator on NPR's Morning Edition. I interviewed Bebe Moore Campbell on August 23, 2001 while she was on the publicity tour for her fourth novel, What You Owe Me. Most of the interview focuses on that book. Bebe Moore Campbell would only write one more novel before her untimely death 72 Hour Hold. As for October, 2025, none of her works have been adapted for film or television. This was one of the final Bookwaves interviews recorded on analog tape, and was digitized and edited on October 20, 2025. This interview has not aired since 2002. .

Send us a textStart with a world that looks arranged and ask the most honest question: who arranged it? We walk up the Areopagus with Paul, listen to his bold claim that God made “the world and all things in it,” and then follow that claim into modern labs, star fields, and the quiet intricacy of a single living cell. From the intuitive logic of Mount Rushmore to the stubborn math behind monkeys at typewriters, we weigh whether time and chance can truly write coherent sentences—much less encode the deep, layered information of DNA.Together we unpack why Paul began with origins when speaking to curious, skeptical minds. The term he chose—cosmos—means order and arrangement, and that word shapes how we read everything from gravitational harmony to biochemical choreography. Along the way, we hear how thinkers like Copernicus, Kepler, Newton, and even a late-life Anthony Flew saw purpose in the fabric of reality. We revisit Darwin's own cautions and explore why the discovery of information-rich systems in the cell complicates a purely unguided story of life. Far from shutting down science, this vision of creation energizes it—inviting us to seek laws because we trust the Lawgiver and to ask better questions because we expect real answers.All of this lands close to home. If a God wise enough to order galaxies also numbers our days, then trust is not blind; it's fitting. We talk frankly about the cultural costs of denying design—how meaning, morality, and hope begin to slip—and we point to a better foundation: Christ the Creator, the one who holds all things together and can steady our steps. If He keeps the planet spinning and the Milky Way in motion, He can guide a week, a decision, a life. Listen, share with a friend who loves science and good questions, and if this conversation moved you, subscribe, leave a review, and tell us: where do you see design most clearly?Support the showStephen's latest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardback

If you're a parent in America, it's possible your kids have it better in many ways than children ever have. Yet many trials, real or perceived, are coming for adolescents aiming for adulthood.Perhaps there is a need for more hope and less mope to help make kids (and their parents) ready for the future?Constructed from a series of letters from a father to his daughters, Raising Tomorrow is an entertaining rant driven by curiosity, hope, and humor for both parents and kids. Each chapter offers a focused conversation on an important topic.In this playbook for perspective, you will discover:Thought-provoking views on issues kids face, from identity and work to love and technologyActionable ideas and stories to spark honest, useful talks between parents and kidsInsights and tools for kids and parents that help foster independence, responsibility and resilience.The next generation will need to be more independent and interdependent than ever. How we all we raise our children will make a profound difference.Raising Tomorrow aims to inspire conversation and action among parents and kids to try to help us all be confident, compassionate, and competent grown-ups.Kepler and James talk about the various subjects he brings up in the book Raising Tomorrow (available on Amazon)
On this episode of ID The Future out of our archive, plant geneticist Richard Buggs speaks to the hosts of the Table Talk podcast about the long-standing claim that science and religion are at odds. The myth that science and religion are incompatible, also known as the warfare myth, was conjured by materialists bent on propagating a Darwinian view of life. But in reality, many of the giants of the scientific revolution, including Newton, Kepler, Boyle, and others, were inspired to do great science because of their faith, not in spite of it. The faith Dr. Buggs examples turns out to be a science starter, not a science stopper. Source

In the winter of 1610 Johannes Kepler was crossing Prague's Charles Bridge when he noticed a snowflake land on his arm. Why, he asked, are all snowflakes six-cornered? "I do not believe," he wrote, "that even in a snowflake, this ordered pattern exists at random." 400 years later, we have part of the answer. Snowflakes are made of water molecules, which are made of atoms, which are made of quarks and electrons - which might be made of superstrings - all held together by forces of nature described by quantum theory. But how does such delicate beauty emerge from such abstract simplicity? Emergence is a celebration of the intricacy of the Universe and an exploration of the laws of nature that sculpted it. From the largest structures in the known Universe - the rivers and flows of galaxies that trace the cosmic web - to Earth's interlinked ecosystems and the structure of the human brain - from black holes to snowflakes - we observe a world of dazzling complexity underpinned by magnificent simplicity. How did a quarter of a million-year-old species of great apes on one small planet amongst trillions orbiting around a middle-aged star in an average galaxy figure all this out, guided by curiosity, mathematics and an aesthetic sense of symmetry and beauty? And what might we become if we can hold onto the ideas of the enlightenment so successfully developed and deployed by Kepler and his contemporaries and successors - ideas that have allowed us to begin to read the story of the Universe and carried our spacecraft to the edge of the solar system and outwards to the stars. Professor Brian Cox said: "I've loved creating Emergence - it's the most ambitious live show I've ever written. I've been very lucky to collaborate with a wonderful group of scientists, musicians, filmmakers and graphic artists to bring cosmology, biology, philosophy and history to the largest and most advanced LED screens available, with the best sound and lights I could find. I hope the show is an all-encompassing experience, and I hope it leaves everyone, whether they love science or music or history, or simply contemplating the beauty of Nature, with something new to think about." Brian has worked with a world-leading team of creatives for Emergence. Graphics and visual effects have been created in collaboration with Emmy Award winning director Nic Stacey and digital artist Erik Wernquist, and branding is by Peter Saville CBE, the renowned art director known for his original work with Factory Records. Brian has appeared in many landmark science programmes over the last 15 years, from the Peabody Award-winning Wonders of the Solar System to worldwide hit series The Planets to his most recent landmark series Solar System, which has become one of the best watched science series of the last decade.

Johannes Kepler rose from a difficult childhood to become a brilliant but unconventional student, deeply influenced by his Lutheran faith, Copernican astronomy, and a belief in divine harmony within the cosmos. In Graz he developed his bold first theory, published in Mysterium Cosmographicum, which linked the orbits of the planets to the five Platonic solids and made him one of the earliest open defenders of heliocentrism. Facing religious persecution and desperate for accurate data, Kepler set out to join Tycho Brahe in Prague, convinced that Tycho's observations were the key to uncovering the universe's hidden order.

Sean Carroll's Mindscape: Science, Society, Philosophy, Culture, Arts, and Ideas
In a relatively short period of time, exoplanets (planets around stars other than our Sun) have gone from an intriguing conjecture to an active field of scientific study, with over 5,000 confirmed discoveries. The task now is to move beyond merely accumulating new examples, and embarking on systematic studies of their properties. What fraction of stars have planets, how are they distributed in size and distance, what kinds of atmospheres do they have, are any promising homes for life? I talk with Natalie Batalha about what we've learned so far, and prospects for future discoveries.Blog post with transcript: https://www.preposterousuniverse.com/podcast/2025/08/25/326-natalie-batalha-on-what-we-know-and-will-learn-about-exoplanets/Support Mindscape on Patreon.Natalie Batalha received a Ph.D. in astrophysics from the University of California, Santa Cruz.

In episode 503 of The Astrology Podcast astrologer Rod Chang joins me to discuss the long and fascinating history of comets in astrology, how astrologers viewed them as omens in ancient times, and creating a new foundation for interpreting them today. While comets are a notable astronomical phenomenon and are famous in legends from ancient times as powerful omens, there has been very little discussion about their meaning or use in modern astrology. Part of the reason for this is that they appear so infrequently, are difficult to calculate, and are not included in most astrology software, which has led to them being largely overlooked by contemporary astrologers. We begin the discussion by exploring the long history of comets in astrology, noting the contrast between the Western tradition and the Chinese tradition. In the West, research into comets was set back for centuries by Aristotle's mistaken belief that they were merely atmospheric phenomena. In the Chinese tradition, however, comets were meticulously documented for thousands of years, where they were often referred to as "broom stars" that could sweep away the old government or indicate the need for reform. This eventually led to a rich history of astrological interpretation, which we are only now beginning to recover and understand. During the course of the episode we talk about what comets are from an astronomical perspective, as well as how their erratic and unpredictable nature became a key part of their astrological interpretation. Traditionally comets were interpreted as omens that signified major disruptions, the death of prominent people, and important turning points in history. Their meaning was often derived from their visual appearance, such as their color or the shape of their tail. While often viewed as negative omens that coincided with natural disasters or the death of rulers, there are also instances where they were interpreted positively. Towards the end of the episode we discuss how contemporary astrologers are now in a much better position to study comets, with new tools that allow us to calculate their positions and go back and research what was happening in the world when major comets appeared in the past. This is a large part of the focus of Rod's new book titled Comets in Astrology, where he identifies some of the most important "Great Comets" in history and documents the events that coincided with their appearance. We hope that this discussion provides a good foundation for a subject that will become an exciting new area of research in astrology in the years to come.

This is the first volume in a new series, Graves' Studies in the History of Astrology, which showcases the fruits of his decades-long project to build one of the largest and most comprehensive private astrological libraries in the world. Technical and Planetary Developments in Astrology and is available now on Amazon and from other booksellers. The Life of an Astrological Librarian We begin the episode by discussing Philip's journey into astrology and how he began amassing his vast collection of astrological texts. His library includes not only modern books but also rare original editions from as early as the 16th century, alongside an extensive collection of astrological journals, periodicals, and almanacs. We delve into the fascinating world of antiquarian book collecting, touching on topics such as: The importance of first editions. The challenges of preservation, including issues like "foxing," "worming," and rebinding. How to handle very old books. The limitations of older, poor-quality digital scans and abridged reprints, and the value of comparing them to original source texts. Research from the Library A major theme of our discussion is how having access to this wide range of primary sources allows for a more accurate and nuanced understanding of astrology's history. Philip's collection serves as a massive research database, enabling him to trace the development of astrological concepts through time. His new book is a collection of essays that demonstrates the value of this approach. Some of the historical questions we explore from his research include: The Development of Uranus: How did astrologers in the early 19th century figure out the meaning of Uranus? We look at surprisingly early and accurate delineations from journals in the 1820s and 1830s, showing the empirical process astrologers used to determine its significations. The Outer Planets: We contrast the empirical approach used for Uranus and Neptune with the more mythological approach applied to Pluto shortly after its discovery in the 20th century. The Meanings of the Houses: Philip's book contains a detailed survey of the significations of the 12 houses, tracing their continuity and changes from the Hellenistic tradition through the Medieval and Renaissance periods. The History of Minor Aspects: We discuss the timeline of how harmonic aspects were developed, starting with Kepler and being gradually adopted and expanded upon by later astrologers. The Origins of Sun-Sign Astrology: Research from Philip and others has pushed back the origins of newspaper Sun-sign columns much earlier than the commonly cited 1930s date. Ultimately, our conversation highlights how astrology has never been a single, unchanging system, but a dynamic tradition that has always been growing and evolving.
