Welcome to the Season 1 finale!  We end the first season with a storytime episode.  This week's storytime is a two-parter.  We begin with a press conference from an extra-terrestrial invader.  Their message is not one of peace but one that forces reflection by the people of Earth.  Then, you'll hear the brief story of the origins of the podcast's sign-off “Everyone has an important story to tell” and how the two are linked.     It's been an absolutely fantastic first season!  Here at Once There Was a Podcast we cannot express our thanks and our gratitude enough.  Your support has been truly wonderful and fantastic.  We look forward to sharing more stories and introducing you to more storytellers next year!  In the time being, stay tuned for a few bonus stories around the holidays!     Special Thanks to: Alex (my sound guru) My Wife and Daughter You   Instagram:  oncetherewasapod Facebook: Once There Was a Podcast   Additional Audio and Music: Franz Gordon/Morning Blues/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound Out To the World/A Journalist's Dream/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound Jon Bjork/Turn of the Tide/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound Additional Sound Effects/Courtesy of Epidemic Sound

He shares insights into the book's development and how his Iranian-American identity and the global pandemic influenced its themes of grief, healing, and identity.

Maurice Heffernan was born in Ballylongford in 1945. When his mother died before Maurice turned one, he was taken into an orphanage in Killarney. He was then sent to a foster family in West Kerry and was later sent to St Joseph’s Industrial School in Tralee. Maurice became a detective garda sergeant and investigated many cases, including the gangland murder of journalist Veronica Guerin in 1996. He has written his memoirs, “Once There Was a Boy Who Survived.”

What is so bad about home that you cannot go back there and settle? Meshack answers this question in his debut novel, Once There Was a Star, and in this episode. Once There Was A Star, made me realize what privilege looks like and to appreciate how we indeed experience life differently. While there were real victims of war, I only experienced the tragedy of war in a book. When I read the book, I found myself so fully immersed in it that I almost failed to draw the line between my real-life experience and what was in the book. I found myself leaving home while looking over my shoulder so that anything looking suspicious of another war would find me alert. It required me to keep reminding myself that the war was just in the book I was reading. Weeks ago, I sat down with the author, Meshack Yobby, to talk about the relevance of this book, why he chose war for his debut novel, and how heavy the creation process was. If you have read this book or are a lover of a good story, this is the episode for you. *** LINKS NABU Network ⁠⁠⁠⁠shop⁠⁠⁠⁠.

Podfic Text-to-Speech (TTS) reading of The Moon That Breaks by TheHufflebean (SarahBeanne) Summary The year is 1977 and the Marauders are sixth-years at Hogwarts. Remus and Sirius are a recently established couple, blissful in the honeymoon stage. But when a bit of hormonally-motivated irresponsibility winds up with Sirius being bitten and infected by Remus, the fallout threatens to be too much for the Marauders. Chain-smoking, self-loathing, and poor communication abound, all set to a soundtrack of contemporary 1970s music.

Gene and Randall present author/screenwriter/producer for Bryce Zabel for a wide-ranging discussion that includes super heroes and his alternative history about what many regard as the best rock group of all time, "Once There Was a Way: What if The Beatles Stayed Together?" But the main topic is about the possibility of UFO disclosure. Nearly 10 years after the speculative fiction story he and Richard M. Dolan wrote about the subject, "A.D. After Disclosure: When the Government Finally Reveals the Truth About Alien Contact," Zabel talks about what he regards as the improved prospects for the secret of the UFOs — or UAPs — finally being revealed. But what about theories about demonic UFOs, or whether other countries might be poised to reveal the truth as to what they are before the U.S. finally gets around to it? Note: This interview continues on the February 16, 2020 episode of After The Paracast.

Some prog metal fans will know the name Jessica Lehto from her involvement in the bands Factory of Dreams (Episode 044) and Beto Vazquez Infinity. But there's a softer side to this Swedish singer/songwriter with the angelic voice, and that is reflected in her solo project, Once There Was. The style of music under this name has been fluid over the years, but the most recent release Breathe, Be, Bleed is being called "electro pop opera." Whatever you describe it as, it contains haunting vocals and harmonies, with synthesizer accompaniment ranging from driving to quietly symphonic. Host Mark Ashby speaks with her about how Once There Was has changed over the years and how it differs from other albums she guests on, why she's content being mostly a studio musician, and how digital-only releases suit artists like her. Find her online at www.jessicalehto.com. Featured songs/excerpts: "Blue" "Heartbeats" "Anywhere" "Black" "Unknown" "Fading" To hear previous archival episodes, go to www.progtopia.com, and follow the show on Facebook (www.facebook.com/progtopia).

On episode 47 of SOMEWHERE IN THE SKIES, Ryan speaks with Bryce Zabel, television/film producer and writer. They discuss his recently released alternate history novel, Once There Was a Way: What if the Beatles Stayed Together? We know The Beatles let it be, but what if they worked it out instead? It's a great new adventure full of twists and turns that never were, but might have been. Then, Zabel brings us down the fascinating trail he's traveled in the worlds of ufology and Hollywood and where they often intersect. After his recent talk at the International UFO Congress, Zabel navigates the crazy maze of UFOs and where he stands on the way we perceive both the phenomena and the often divisive study of it. We then get a sneak peek at some of his UFO films and television projects in development, including exclusive news on a very well known actor who recently signed on to play a major role in one of the projects.

Sep. 5, 2015. Authors Jared Thomas and Bruce Pascoe join with author/illustrator Dub Leffler to share their stories, characters and insights at the 2015 Library of Congress National Book Festival in Washington, D.C. Speaker Biography: Jared Thomas is a Nukunu Aboriginal Australian author of from the Southern Flinders Ranges in South Australia. His debut young adult novel “Sweet Guy” was short listed for three major Australian literature awards. His plays “Flash Red Ford” and “Love, Land and Money” have toured Uganda and Kenya and been featured at festivals. Thomas has also written the children’s book “Dallas Davis, the Scientist and the City Kids.” His latest young adult novel, “Calypso Summer,” is the story of a young Nukunu man finding his way and himself after high school; it has received a State Library of Queensland Black&Write Fellowship and was included in iTunes’ best books of April 2014. Thomas is an arts development officer at Arts, South Australia and lives in Adelaide with his family. Speaker Biography: Australian Bruce Pascoe is a Yuin, Bunurong and Tasmanian who has written more than 25 books of fiction, nonfiction and poetry. He has widely varied experience from his work as a teacher, farmer, fisherman, barman, fencing contractor, Aboriginal language researcher, archaeological site worker, lecturer and editor. Some of his works include the short story collections “Nightjar” and “Ocean” and the historical nonfiction books “Cape Otway: Coast of Secrets” and “Convincing Ground.” In 2013 Pascoe received the Australian Prime Minister’s Literary Award for Young Adult Fiction for “Fog a Dox” (Magabala Books). His most recent nonfiction work, “Dark Emu: Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?” describes in depth the land management and agricultural practices of the Australian Aborigines and includes excerpts from early explorers’ diaries that demonstrate the extent to which modern retellings of early Aboriginal history understate the sophistication of these systems. Pascoe is a member of the Wathaurong Aboriginal Cooperative of southern Victoria. Speaker Biography: Dub Leffler is an acclaimed and highly sought-after Indigenous Australian illustrator of children’s literature. He grew up as one of 13 children in the small town of Quirindi, south of Tamworth in New South Wales and is descended from the Bigambul and Mandandanji people of south west Queensland. Leffler began his visual arts career as an animator and has worked as a muralist and art teacher, as well as in collaboration with internationally recognized illustrators such as Colin Thompson, Shaun Tan and Banksy. Currently, he has illustrated 18 children’s books. The first book Leffler wrote as well as illustrated is the internationally acclaimed “Once There Was a Boy."
