Some connections are not built. They are coded.In this episode of The Juicy Spiritual Truth, Sonia G is joined by Kelsey her soul sister, former Moon Babes collaborator, and now a key presence in the Starborn Leaders world for a conversation recorded live at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah. The place where their story began.This is not a polished interview. This is two women who built something extraordinary together, broke each other's hearts, went to Egypt separately, tracked their connection all the way back to Lyra, and found their way back to each other through radical accountability, seven-year cycles, and a phone call that unraveled everything from Atlantis forward.And then they talk about the Dance of Light.If you have ever wondered what it looks like when sisterhood wounds run all the way back through timelines and what it takes to actually heal them — this is the episode.In this episode:How Sonia and Kelsey met inside the Metaphysical Mastermind in 2019 and built Moon Babes together through three years of retreats, grid work, and dances of light across the globeThe distorted masculine feminine that was running underneath even the most heart-centered spiritual business and how neither of them saw it at the timeThe Moon Babes breakup the grief, the betrayal, the abandonment, and why Kelsey calls it a death of a partnership, a friendship, and a dreamHow the wound traced back through Atlantis, Egypt, and all the way to Lyra and the moment on the phone call when the domino effect startedThe seven-year cycle revelation and why their split happened exactly four years ago this weekendWhat radical accountability actually looks like between two women who both felt betrayedThe shift from lunar feminine to solar feminine why Moon Babes had to end, why women's cycles are desyncing from the moon, and what syncing to the sun actually means for the bodyFrom hustle to wholeness the smaller cycles of survival versus the bigger rhythms of sovereign creationBuilding from wholeness what Sonia and Kelsey are creating together now and why it requires a level of embodiment they didn't have beforeThe Bonneville Salt Flats  the Andromedan crystal underneath, the crystalline grid, and why this land has been the anchor point for every major milestone in their shared storyThe Dance of Light the full origin story: the Pleiadians, the doorknob that fell apart, Chantal Nicole, the lineage passed in a single session, and why this ancient dance was always a restoration not an inventionThe petroglyphs in the caves of southern Utah showing star beings performing the exact movements of the Dance of LightThe five elements how metal was added to the dance when Sonia was called to Colombia and walked on gold-flecked sand in Santa MartaThe Dance of Light certification announced for the first time in this episodeWhy the flame grids require this work to be on the planet nowResources mentioned:Star Money Millionaire: digital course on clearing the seven core subconscious beliefs blocking your visibility and wealth through flame body activation. Mallorca Solar Eclipse Retreat: August 11–14, 2026.

In the mid-1970s, twin sisters Audrey and Debbie Hewins claimed they were repeatedly visited by beings from another world—and the encounters only intensified with age. Refusing to stay silent, they founded Starborn, a support group for others who'd lived through the same unexplainable events. Members describe chillingly similar experiences: midnight abductions, clinical experiments, and meetings with fellow experiencers aboard spaceships.

In this week's episode, I answer questions I receive whenever I mention that STARFIELD is my favorite game of the 2020s. This coupon code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Half-Orc Paladin, Book #3 in the Half-Elven Thief series, (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward) at my Payhip store: HECTOR50 The coupon code is valid through April 20th, 2026. TRANSCRIPT 00:00:00 Introduction and Writing Updates Hello, everyone. Welcome to Episode 298 of The Pulp Writer Show. My name is Jonathan Moeller. Today is April 10th, 2026. Today I'm doing an FAQ about my experiences with Starfield, which is my favorite game of the 2020s. Before that, we will have Coupon of the Week and a progress update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. So let's start off with Coupon of the Week. This week's Coupon Code will get you 50% off the audiobook of Half-Orc Paladin, Book #3 in the Half-Elven Thief series (as excellently narrated by Leanne Woodward), at my Payhip store. That coupon code will be HECTOR50. And as always, the coupon code and the link to my Payhip store will be available in the show notes for this episode. And this coupon code will be valid through April 20th, 2026. So if you need a new audiobook for this spring, we have got you covered. Now for an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. As of this recording, I am done with the first pass of editing through Blade of Wraiths and then starting on the second. It's taken a bit longer than I've wanted because I've had a lot of Real Life Stuff to do, but if all goes well, I'm hoping to have the book out in the second half of April, so hopefully not too much longer now. I'm also 19,000 words into Dragon-Mage, which will be the sixth book in the Rivah Half-Elven Thief series. Hopefully that will be out in May, if all goes well. No, that might slip to June, but I'm really hoping to get that one out in May. In audiobook news, Hollis McCarthy has started work on Cloak of Illusion, so hopefully if all goes well, we'll have that out to you in May sometime. In fact, I'm hoping that will come out concurrently with Dragon-Mage, because it's always nice when I can stack an ebook and an older audiobook in the series like that together. So that is where we're at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:01:46 Main Topic: Starfield Now onto our main topic. This is ostensibly a podcast about writing and the business of writing, but I like video games, so we're going to talk about a video game this week. The reason for that is whenever I post about Starfield or share a screenshot from it, I frequently get a number of questions. I think it's because Starfield was an oddly divisive game when it came out. People have strong opinions about it and then have strong opinions about other people's strong opinions and I do not have these strong opinions myself. While I enjoy the game a great deal, if you don't like it, that's fine. There are lots and lots and lots of legitimate reasons to criticize Microsoft, which is the ultimate owner of Starfield. It's possible for two things to be simultaneously true that Microsoft has done a lot of sketchy things, and that Starfield is a good game that I enjoyed. I suspect it's a bit like enjoying a football game while at the same time knowing that the NFL is an unscrupulous cartel that could benefit from some thorough reforms. Despite that, I have to admit that I don't think it's super healthy to make gaming opinions, whether video games or sports games, a core part of your identity. A game in the end is just a fancy toy for amusement and idle moments. If God descended tomorrow and told me that Starfield would vanish from the face of the earth, I'd be rather disappointed, but my dinner would still taste just as good and my house would be just as warm. That said, I did enjoy the game quite a bit. Everybody needs a hobby and even I can't work every hour of every day. I wrote like a hundred novels in the last 10 years. Everyone has their own stresses in life, of course, but we seem to live in particularly stressful time these days, so a harmless hobby is a nice break from real life. The game's newest expansion came out a couple days ago on April 7th. And so with that in mind, I thought I would answer the most common questions I get whenever I post or talk about Starfield. Question: Did Starfield influence your Silent Order Science fiction series at all? No. But I'm always pleased when I get this question because it's easily answered. The final book of Silent Order came out on September the 4th, 2023, and Starfield came out on September 6th, 2023. I tried Starfield like the day after it came out, but I didn't actually start playing it in earnest until April of 2024, like I didn't actually finish the starter dungeon until April of 2024. So no, Starfield was not an influence on Silent Order. It would be fair to say that Silent Order was more influenced by James Bond, some H.P. Lovecraft, and Wing Commander: Privateer, which is actually our next question. Question: What initially drew your interest to Starfield? Part of the game reminded me a lot of Wing Commander: Privateer from the '90s, which was one of my favorite games back in the day. If you're not familiar with it, Wing Commander: Privateer was what's now called a "space trading sim" set in the Wing Commander universe. In all the previous Wing Commander games, you played as a Starfighter pilot fighting in the humans' war against the cat-like Kilrathi invaders. Your missions were assigned to you along with the specific ship you would fly for that mission. But in Privateer, you played a freelance captain with a rundown freighter. You can carry cargo, go bounty hunting, do mercenary work, trading, and just wander around the map following infinite procedurally generated missions from the Mission Board, the Merchants' Guild, and the Mercenaries' Guild. Eventually, you would have enough cash to upgrade your rundown ship to something better and configure it however you liked. There's a main plot, but you can totally ignore it and do whatever you want. I loved Privateer and I finished both it and the expansion. And of course, spent a lot of time doing the infinite procedurally generated quests. Starfield does the same thing, but with 30 years' worth of advancement of game design and technology improvements. In grand Bethesda game tradition, you don't even have to do any of the main plot lines. You can just wander around doing procedurally generated quests. It's like Privateer, but better and with ground-based quests as well. You can get out of your ship and walk around in a way you couldn't in Privateer. In Starfield, you can land at some random science outpost or industrial outpost and the inhabitants will have a quest for you. I've heard Starfield described as a "cozy game", since quite a few people enjoy just building their outposts and their ships and then decorating them like the science fiction version of Animal Crossing or Stardew Valley. In another sense, I suppose Starfield could be described as "cozy adventure". Granted, that might be a strange thing to say about missions where you machine gun space pirates, blow up their base, and then loot all their stuff, but Starfield is an excellent game for just puttering around. It's fun after a long day to play for an hour, take out some space pirates, upgrade your ship a little, maybe tinker with your outpost. And I do like, I have to admit, the main plot line and the various faction quests. Question: So the procedural generation stuff doesn't bother you? No. Procedural generation has been part of gaming forever and long before the civilizational blight that is modern LLM systems. Certainly there are points where the procedural generation of Starfield could be improved and it has been improved with patches, but I enjoy the randomness of it. Question: If you think Starfield is good, why did it have such mixed reviews? It did have some rough points at launch, like the lack of surface vehicles, the lack of city maps, and some weird choices for inventory management (among some other issues, though those were later patched or upgraded). I honestly think the game is better than the mixed reviews would indicate, and I also think the mixed reviews were a combination of different converging social factors, specifically, people's expectations of what they imagined the game would be versus what it actually was, its Xbox and PC exclusivity, and the unfortunate addiction to outrage culture in social media. As I mentioned before, I think it's obvious that we live in stressful times and for a variety of reasons that are beyond the scope of this episode, I think people are overall angrier and eager to lash out when a target presents itself, especially online. Additionally, I suspect a big part of the mixed reviews is that Microsoft has built up a lot of ill will since the launch of Windows 11 and Copilot, and Starfield is a convenient outlet for that. Like Outlook and Teams are widely hated software tools, probably some of the most hated software tools in the world, but your job forces you to use them and you can't do anything about it. It's more effective to criticize a consumer-facing business like video games than it is Outlook and Teams, since those tend to be sold in blocks of thousands of licenses to large institutional customers that don't particularly care what their employees think about Outlook or Teams. In fact, fun fact, while I was writing this episode, Outlook was causing problems on Artemis II, NASA's first manned mission to the moon in over 50 years. So there is yet another historical milestone for Outlook. Question: You've said repeatedly that you don't like multiverse stuff, yet Starfield's main plot revolves heavily around the multiverse. That's true. I don't really like multiverse stuff in fiction because it's hard to execute well without making the story pointless. If there are a billion parallel universes and somebody dies in one of them, so what? Just hop over one universe and find a new version of the dead guy. Multiverse and parallel universe plot lines are a bit like homemade lasagna or homemade spaghetti carbonara. It needs to be done by someone who really, really knows what they're doing, otherwise the end result is sad and unpleasant, indigestible, or outright disgusting. That said, multiverse as a game mechanic is actually the clever idea. Like we all know that if you really like a game, you're going to play it more than once. How many times have you replayed Skyrim? How many uncounted quintillions of times has the original Super Mario Brothers been replayed? Starfield rather cleverly builds that replaying into the game. You can start over in a new universe and play the game again, but this time your character has in- game foreknowledge of everything that's going to happen and that can affect the gameplay in fun ways. Question: Did you really lose 40 pounds while playing Starfield? Yes. Of course, the main factor was some lifestyle changes in terms of exercise and diet, but I did lose 40 pounds since starting to seriously play Starfield in April of 2024. The game was an excellent distraction instead of late night snacking, so I suppose I sublimated the snacking urge into blowing up space pirates. Question: Aren't you worried Starfield will influence or slow down your writing? Well, writers and other creatives draw inspiration from all sorts of places, but no, I'm not worried about that because Starfield draws so heavily on multiverse tropes and as I've mentioned a few times before, I don't really like multiverse stuff in fiction. In terms of productivity, I published a million new words in 2024 and again in 2025. Though in full disclosure, I will be surprised if I hit a million words in 2026 due to the amount of Real Life Stuff I will have to do this year, but admittedly that is Real Life Stuff unconnected to gaming or recreation and it's only April, so who can say how the rest of the year will play out? Question: Did playing Starfield so much take time away from reading? Probably not. In 2025, I read 69 books and by the end of March in 2026, I have read 15. Lots of people read more than I do, but 69 books in a year is still significantly higher than the American national average. In all honesty, I both read less and play fewer video games now than I did like 20, 25 years ago when I had way fewer responsibilities. Question: The expansion pack Shattered Space got mixed reviews, but you really enjoyed it. Why? I thought the concept was intriguing. "Religious leader builds machine to contact his conception of God and accidentally blows up half his capital city and creates a space time rift" is an interesting concept for both a game and for fiction. I also liked how the expansion pack went in depth into the crazy space cultists' home planet, which was a fun environment to play. Shattered Space is definitely Starfield on hard mode though. The game recommends it for Level 35 characters, but I think 50 might be better, if I'm honest. Question: If Starfield was a commercial failure, why do you play it? Well, "commercial success" and "I enjoyed this" don't necessarily overlap on the Venn Diagram, do they? Just because something is popular doesn't mean it is good and just because something is unpopular doesn't mean it is bad. That said, I don't think it's objectively correct to say Starfield is a commercial failure, regardless of one's opinion of the game. Microsoft is a ruthless corporate empire that has absolutely no qualms about cutting things that are liabilities, especially as more and more of its resources go into Copilot and LLM slop (though there are some indications that its AI focus is starting to loosen as reality begins to impose itself on the grand delusion of the AI powered future). Considering that in the two and a half years since Starfield came out, it's received a lot of patches, a lot of new free content, and two paid expansions, it's clear that the Lidless Eye of Microsoft has not turned towards Starfield in fiery wrath, especially since Microsoft laid off lots of people and shut down a bunch of its game studios during that time. People tend to focus on Steam rankings, but that's only a segment (if a very large segment) of the market. Various Starfield devs in interviews have said that the game is in the top 10 for played hours on Xbox Game Pass. Xbox Game Pass is really important to Microsoft, probably more important than the physical Xbox itself. So I don't think it's objectively true that Starfield is a commercial failure, though it definitely wasn't as successful as Skyrim or Fallout 4. Question: Baldur's Gate 3 (BG3) came out at about the same time as Starfield. Did you like Starfield better than Baldur's Gate 3? Yes. Question: What? Why? Everyone knows Baldur's Gate 3 is the better game. Baldur's Gate 3 is an excellent game. Well written, well designed, excellent voice acting, the works. That said, I also think Starfield is an excellent game and I just enjoyed it more. It's a matter of taste, I think, which is not quantifiable. BG3 is a big Larian/BioWare-style narrative RPG, which is kind of its own genre in the same way that a Bethesda RPG is also its own genre. I mentioned above that I enjoy the puttering around aspect of Starfield a great deal and BG3 doesn't offer as much space for that kind of puttering, some but not nearly as much. I have enjoyed that style of narrative RPG in the past. Dragon Age: Origins and Knights of the Old Republic were both excellent games I played back to back in 2009 or maybe 2008, back when I had more time for that kind of thing and I think they qualify as direct predecessors to Baldur's Gate 3. But these days, I like the freedom of puttering more, even if a game like BG3 offers an excellent interactive narrative. Additionally, I admit I got frustrated a lot with BG3 in a way I didn't with Starfield. In BG3, I kept frequently running into Total Party Kill situations, which is exasperating after you've sunk 20 or 30 minutes into a complicated combat encounter. So I think it's objectively and quantifiably true to say that Baldur's Gate 3 is significantly more popular than Starfield, but on the subjective level, I just enjoy Starfield more. Question: Do you like the soundtrack of Starfield? Oh yeah. It's some of my favorite writing music. For fun, go search on YouTube and watch the London Symphony Orchestra's concert of the Starfield soundtrack. The composer Inon Zur gets to conduct some of it. I'd say my favorite tracks are Into the Starfield, New Atlantis, The Safety of the Citizens, Freestar, The New Old Frontier (I think that plays in the Trackers' Alliance headquarters), Cydonia, Sublevels, Neon, and In Silent Orbit. The battle of music when you fight the Star Born is pretty great as well. I think it's called "Stars and Sacrifice", but I'm not 100% sure. I also quite liked the soundtrack for Baldur's Gate 3 as well, to return to an earlier question. Andrew Wincott totally deserved the BAFTA for "Raphael's Final Act." Question: If a Switch 2 port comes along of Starfield, will you buy it? I would wait for reviews, but honestly, I would be amazed if there was a Switch 2 port of Starfield. The Switch 2 is more powerful than its predecessor, but there's no denying that Starfield is a chunky, chunky game. Then again, I wouldn't have thought it was possible to get Cyberpunk 2077, Witcher 3, or Fallout 4 on the Switch, and apparently those are good ports, so I guess we'll see. Question: Favorite Quest in Starfield? The Mantis, Groundpounder, and the entire thing with the Terrormorphs. Also the whole freaky quest with the Crucible and the clones, that was some great '70s-style science fiction stuff. I enjoy any of the quests with Walter Stroud because he's a fun character, and also voiced by the actor who played Quark in Deep Space Nine in the '90s, back when I was playing Privateer. (Full circle moment!) Also fighting The Hunter for the last time is pretty great since he's such a smug Nietzschean jerk. One of the greatest moments in the game is how The Hunter is just chilling in a Spaceport bar and willing to have amiable conversations with you at the start of the game since he's killed alternate versions of you thousands of times before and isn't expecting trouble, so no reason not to have a civil chat over a drink. I also played through the new Trackers' Alliance plotline. If you get the premium edition of Starfield and its bonus 1,000 Creation Credits, I highly recommend you use them on the Trackers' Alliance expansion. It is a lot of fun. Question: Favorite ship in the game? The Razor Leaf and the Ecliptic Claymore. Also, this is a new addition, but I really like the Orchid you pick up from the fake Mantis Quest in the Trackers' Alliance Quest line. I think my favorite overall ship is the Shieldbreaker that you can buy on New Atlantis, but if you're going to buy a ship instead of stealing it, I think Walter's company Stroud-Ecklund (see above) has the best ships. Honestly, one of my favorite activities in Starfield is stealing ships from space pirates. It's always so much fun. Question: Favorite gun? The Magstorm hands down. Peace through superior firepower. The Magstorm is what I used for the final battle with The Hunter and then again for the final mission of Shattered Space. For stealth, the Hard Target with a suppressor and a scope. I've taken out entire pirate bases with the Hard Target and stealth mode. The one Starborn lady who sells stuff to you in New Universes has a really excellent stealth optimized version of the Hard Target in her inventory. I also really like the Urban Eagle pistol you get early in the Vanguard plotline, since it's usually the best gun in the game I found at that point. Conclusion I hope that explains why I enjoy Starfield and answers some of the questions people always seem to have whenever I mention it. I doubt anyone involved with Starfield will ever listen to this, but I would like to thank everyone who has worked on the game in any capacity: devs, artists, writers, composers, Q&A people, everyone. Thank you for all your hard work, which has given me a lot of enjoyment and mental escape during some very stressful times. So that's it for this week.

Have you ever felt like Earth isn't your first home? In this episode, I sat down with Galaxy Starborn, an Akashic Records guide and starseed coach who works with both adults and kids to help them reconnect with their soul-level origins and inner wisdom. We talked about starseeds, discovering our galactic heritage, and the magic of rediscovering our incarnations in other planetary systems. We discussed intuition and sensitivity as strengths, not things to fix, and why feeling truly seen and understood matters so much, especially for children. We also talked about how kids learn way less from what we say and way more from how we show up, stay present, and model self-awareness in everyday moments. Whether you identify as a starseed or not, this episode is about connection, intuition, and feeling at home in yourself.

We're back and things officially go off the rails. In chapters 81–90 of Crescent City, Bryce does the unthinkable (yes, the vacuum scene), Hel literally opens across the city, and the biggest revelation of the entire book finally drops. We break down Bryce vs. Micah, the gates, the synth twist, Hunt at full power, and that jaw-dropping Starborn reveal—plus plenty of tangents, theories, pop culture chaos, and emotional damage along the way. Buckle up, because this stretch changes everything.   Website→ https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/ Merch → https://www.lamebookclubpod.com/category/all-products Patreon → https://www.patreon.com/c/lamebcpod IG → https://www.instagram.com/lamebookclubpod/ Spotify → https://open.spotify.com/show/2exV4FVCLeN7mYfxcNs9cB?si=36805589642e442c Apple → https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l-a-m-e-book-club-podcast/id1703598706 PODCAST BUSINESS ENQUIRES: lamebcpodcast@gmail.com Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Eels play an important ecological role in many rivers and streams, but they're so eel-usive that even eel scientists have been challenged to observe them mating in the wild. Ellen Ruppel Shell is author of the 2024 book Slippery Beast: A True Crime Natural History, with Eels, and she sheds light on the eel's murky ecology and path through the seafood industry.   And the relentless heating of the Earth is prompting people to move after climate-related catastrophes and amid more gradual changes. Journalist Abrahm Lustgarten is the author of On the Move: The Overheating Earth and the Uprooting of America, about the northward migration he anticipates as Americans seek to escape punishing heat, fire, and drought.   Also stargazing has profoundly shaped who we are as human beings, and gave rise to science, religion, and origin stories from diverse traditions. Roberto Trotta, the author of the new book Starborn: How the Stars Made Us (And Who We Would Be Without Them) joins us to discuss how studying the night sky shaped science and why satellites now threaten our connection to the stars.

Two women, two continents, two stories whispered in the shadows of history. One, a mystic in war-torn Europe, said to channel voices from the stars—secrets that could have changed the fate of nations. The other, a siren of the Amazon, her voice enchanting the elite until rumors of blood and immortality stained her legacy. Maria Orsic, vanished without a trace in 1945. Camille Montfort, buried in 1896—or so they say. But what if the truth isn't that simple? What if the past still echoes with their footsteps, or something darker?

The results for Microsoft Gaming's FY24 Q4 is in and it's mighty telling of where the company is at. On one hand, Xbox is making more money than ever before, but it's come at the loss of hardware sales which are down a staggering 42% YOY. Can Xbox afford to keep this trend up in a world not yet ready for digital only? According to Microsoft CFO Amy Hood, this is all well and fine as the company marches toward content and services. The Dukes dive into all the numbers, including Activision's ability to make the entirety of Xbox a boatload of money in spite of the remaining parts of Xbox plateauing. We also dig into the newest Starborn trademark, Bungie's daunting task ahead of them after massive layoffs once more, and plenty of other subjects in yet another busy week!

In a 6-3 decision the US Supreme Court struck down the longstanding Chevron deference doctrine, which allowed federal agencies to make rules relying on unclear statutes, provided their interpretation was reasonable. We parse the potentially disastrous consequences of this decision for environmental and other public protection regulations and what agencies and environmental lawyers will need to do to have a fighting chance in court. Also, a powerful new NASA satellite called PACE can look at the ocean and clouds to distinguish between different kinds of microscopic phytoplankton and aerosols from an orbit 400 miles up. How the technology works, its value to scientific research on climate change, and the real-time data it provides about water and air quality worldwide. And stargazing has profoundly shaped who we are as human beings, and gave rise to science, religion, and origin stories from diverse traditions. Roberto Trotta, the author of the new book Starborn: How the Stars Made Us (And Who We Would Be Without Them) joins us to discuss how studying the night sky shaped science and why satellites now threaten our connection to the stars. -- What issues are you most interested in having Living on Earth cover in the 2024 election season?

In today's episode, Karly & Mia will be diving into their favorite fantasy zootopia, the world of Crescent City by Sarah J. Maas. Between Fae, Angels, Wolves, Mer-people, Vampires, and more, Midgard is every fantasy girly's dream come true. This book is packed with amazing main characters, centering around our favorite Starborn girl Bryce (who we both have crushes on, along with every other male in the Crescent City universe), as well as our favorite Angel boy Hunt (refer to the backwards Sunball cap and grey sweatpants). Karly & Mia will discuss notable takeaways from House of Earth and Blood (CC1) & House of Sky & Breathe (CC2), and how they are literally foaming at the mouth ahead of the release of House of Flame and Shadow (CC3) in late January 2024. Mia already put PTO on her calendar for January 30. All they can say is the last line of CC2 had them screaming, crying, and throwing up.    They also quickly rant about how Crescent City slander needs to end, as they actually truly love the series, the characters, and how different the modern day fantasy world is compared to the typical romantasy read. How often do your favorite romantasy couples facetime each other?!    P.S. For the first time since Summer 2023, Karly & Mia recorded this episode together LIVE from Aspen! Enjoy their reunion pod and get ready for many more when Mia makes the move to NYC in Spring 2024!  

The episode is in English – scroll down for the English description. Когато поглеждаме към нощното небе, рядко си даваме сметка, че всъщност до нашето невъоръжено око достига много малка част от информацията, която ни пращат звездите. В епизода Петко и Роберто Трота разговарят за звездите и за тяхното влияние върху развитието на човешката цивилизация и за разнообразните и неподозирани начини, с които са напътствали човечеството през годините. Ще чуете още и за неочакваната връзка между наблюдението на звездното небе и гибелта на неандерталците. Слушайте епизода, за да разберете защо е толкова важно да продължаваме да се взираме в необятното и да мислим за нас като за част от нещо по-голямо. In English: When we look up at the night sky, we rarely realise that very little of the information the stars send us actually reaches our naked eye. In the episode, Petko and Roberto Trotta talk about the stars and their influence on the development of human civilization and the unsuspected ways in which they have guided humanity over the years. You'll also hear about the unexpected connection between stargazing and the demise of the Neanderthals. Listen to the episode to find out why it's so important to keep gazing into the vast and thinking of ourselves as part of something bigger. === За госта: Роберто Трота е космолог, автор и професор по теоретична физика в Международното училище за напреднали изследвания в Триест, Италия.

Two young readers join us to review the book, which is so much fun, and we talk all things fantasy, science fiction, writing, reading, and Doritos! Find Karen on the web at: KBHoyle.com and owlsnestpublishers.com

Part 2 of our House of Sky and Breath episode consists of our most unhinged Theory Corner segment to date.

In Part 1 of this episode, we discuss the second Crescent City novel, House of Sky and Breath, by Sarah J Maas.

Ok the eighth court is in play but who is the referee? Let's play a game called who's the Starborn and talk about all things: Power, truth, and light.

Duke and Lucas return to break down the Chicago Bears' first preseason game, Teven Jenkins at right guard, discuss the upcoming game against the Seahawks, more on the Roquan Smith situation, and the superstar potential of Jack Sanborn.

We're wrapping up our Starborn setting with adorable plant people, coming-of-age stories, and tangents galore. What the hell are midichlorians, anyway? What's the difference between Goombas and Toad?! Will new iterations of Star Trek ever not suck?!?   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us? Send us your prompt!  Email us your suggestions at: WorldbuildWithUs@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter @LetsWorldBuild  Or come chat with us on our Discord server!  Or if you're feeling particularly generous, you can support us on Patreon!    Intro theme: "Half Mystery" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0  Outro Theme: "Study and Relax" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

This week, a prompt from a new listener brings us to a flat disk-like earth centered around a rising and falling sun (which is definitely not a kangaroo, despite its bouncy nature). Join us as we discuss discarded creations, gravitational implications, and Daniel's truly unfortunate luck with video games.   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us? Send us your prompt!  Email us your suggestions at: WorldbuildWithUs@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter @LetsWorldBuild  Or come chat with us on our Discord server!  Or if you're feeling particularly generous, you can support us on Patreon!    Intro theme: "Half Mystery" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0  Outro Theme: "Study and Relax" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0

TRIGGER WARNING: Discussion of emotional abuse. Life is funny, you just never know what you will uncover about yourself and other people.  It was a beautiful sunny day, and I was giving Akashic Record readings at Starborn's Psychic Faire. I checked my email during a break in between clients and lo and behold a strange email from an even stranger phone number.  Turns out, it was from an ex. I have not discussed this past relationship on the podcast because the trauma from that relationship doesn't show up in my day-to-day and I am so far removed from that previous relationship.  But what I realized after my self-Akashic Reading, was the trauma does come up when I watch that ex walk around the back of my building, confidently calling for my cats.  This is why I never told him to leave on numerous occasions when I saw him through my kitchen window. The sub-text is, it's not really about the cats. Also, it's about boundaries. I decided to open the Akashic Records of Ancient Mother on a whim to ponder if I was being jaded after reading the note. I ended up receiving a beautiful healing from Ancient Mother and I uncovered that I was still traumatized from that emotionally abusive relationship. I also discovered I experience auditory premonitions from this experience, which is a bonus! Despite the topic, my energy is balanced and grounded, with just enough humor, a little bit of anger, and a lot of self-compassion. If you are suffering from any type of abuse from a parent, friend or partner, please visit: www.thehotline.org/get-help/domestic-violence-local-resources. Thanks for listening. Topics discussed: -An ex sent me a text via email and I checked my email while I was in between clients at the Psychic Faire at Starborn Wellness and Healing -Earlier that day while at home I thought I heard the ex make the whistling sound that he used to use when he would try to find Kashmir -We used to live together in the home I currently live in -I discuss the nature of the verbal and emotional abuse -Since our break-up, he has trespassed numerous times whenever he is in the area to visit “his” cats -I talk about why I never told him to leave when I saw him lurking around my building -When I read the note he sent, it just seemed disingenuous -I decided to access Ancient Mother's Akashic Record -I didn't realize until the reading that I was traumatized from the emotional abuse and that's why I didn't want to talk to him -I received healing from the reading by asking a particular question -So many layers of releasing and healing the trauma from an emotionally abusive relationship Resources mentioned: www.thehotline.org/get-help/domestic-violence-local-resources Psychic Faire at Starborn Healing Wellness and Dance Center starbornhealing.com, IG: @starbornwellness  FB: @starbornwellness Claire Blanc, Channel, Intuitive healing, Mediumship, Space Clearing IG: @Claire_blanc_art About the Hostess: Sharmila Mali, in case you didn't know, is a Self-Love Expert, intuitive healer, Reiki Master Teacher, Akashic Records Reader (in addition to being a podcaster) and for the past 15 years or so, most of her clients have been women, who want to get over their ex.
