Welcome to the Squared Circle Podcast! i am your host Marie Shadows!A deep dive into Gabe Kidd's chaotic character shift, AEW's inconsistent storytelling, and why fans are struggling to suspend disbelief.In this passionate episode of the Squared Circle Podcast, Marie Shadows tackles the inconsistencies in Gabe Kidd's recent storytelling arc—especially his alliance with Jon Moxley after proclaiming loyalty to NJPW and Bullet Club War Dogs. Marie breaks down kayfabe logic, character psychology, and the missed beats in AEW's storytelling framework. This episode explores not just the creative struggles behind the scenes, but also the creative mindset required to maintain strong wrestling narratives.

If you are wondering what kids mean when they say, “It's cringe” then watch this movie. Otherwise save yourself some time. On paper everything about this movie should work, but, and it's an enormous but, it doesn't. It's easy to identify why. This movie doesn't know what it wants to be when it grows up - is it a romance, a spy or an action movie. On the upside, if you listen to this episode you will learn the difference between action stories and spy stories - I have very strong opinions about this. We also have lots of fun with our cranky pants on. -M For access to writing templates and worksheets, and more than 70 hours of training (all for free), subscribe to Valerie's Inner Circle.To learn to read like a writer, visit Melanie's website.Follow Valerie on Instagram and Threads @valerie_francisFollow Melanie on X, Instagram and Facebook @MelanieHillAuthor

In dieser Episode sprechen wir über das ungewöhnliche Spiel „Alice is Missing“, ein stummes Rollenspiel, das uns vor herausfordernde und kreative Ansprüche stellt. Gemeinsam mit Dennis, Lavinia und Ingo, einem alten Bekannten aus der Podcast-Welt, tauchen wir in die Welt des Spiels ein, das sich auf eine neuartige Art und Weise mit Kommunikation, Emotionen und Erzählkunst befasst. Wir beginnen mit der Grundidee des Spiels, das ursprünglich in englischer Sprache von Spencer Starke erschien und nun auf Deutsch beim Schwerkraft Verlag erhältlich ist. Die meisten von uns sind zwar erfahrene Spieler, doch die ungewöhnliche Mechanik von „Alice is Missing“ wirft Fragen auf. Es wird schnell klar, dass die Interaktion über einen Chat läuft und wir als Spieler nicht in einem Raum, sondern virtuell kommunizieren. Ingo erklärt, dass dies eine spannende Verbindung ermöglicht, denn im Spiel geht es darum, eine Geschichte um das Verschwinden von Alice zu spinnen, während wir gleichzeitig unsere Charaktere aufbauen und in die Rollen eintauchen. Ein zentrales Element des Spiels ist die Art, wie die Kommunikation abläuft. Wir müssen uns auf eine tiefere Verbindung zu unseren Charakteren einlassen und kreative Geschichten entwickeln. Dabei erfahren wir, dass das Spiel nicht die typischen Vorgaben einer Struktur hat – stattdessen sind wir verantwortlich für die Handlung und die Entwicklung der Charaktere. Momentan, in der wir das Spiel spielen, wird auf die Zeit geachtet, was die Spannung erhöht und zur Immersion beiträgt. Dennis beschreibt die Erfahrung als intensiv und emotional, da man sich in einem hohen Maß auf sein Gegenüber und dessen Charakter konzentriert. Wir tauschen uns über die Herausforderungen des Spiels aus, insbesondere über die Schwierigkeiten mit den Informationen und Hinweisen, die im Laufe des Spiels aufkommen. Thomas prangert an, dass die Kommunikation und der Fluss der Story oft unterbrochen werden, wenn unerwartete Informationen den Verlauf stören. Doch gleichzeitig erkennen wir, dass solch spontane Wendungen auch kreative Möglichkeiten bieten, um die Erzählung voranzutreiben. Wir diskutieren die einzigartige Dynamik, die entsteht, wenn man nicht in einem Raum, sondern über einen Chat interagiert, der Unsicherheiten und Missverständnisse begünstigt. Ein weiterer wichtiger Punkt, den wir ansprechen, ist die Erwartungshaltung gegenüber dem Spiel. Viele von uns hatten anfangs an eine strukturiertere Erzählweise gedacht, mussten jedoch lernen, dass die Erzählung tatsächlich von unseren eigenen Kreativleistungen abhängt. Wir kommen zu dem Schluss, dass es entscheidend ist, mit einer offenen Einstellung an das Spiel heranzugehen und Mut zur Kreativität zu haben. In gemeinsamen Nachbesprechungen reflektieren wir über unsere Erlebnisse und die Geschichten, die wir miteinander gewoben haben. Wir erkennen, dass es unterschiedliche Ansätze gab, die Charaktere und deren Beziehungsgeschichten zu gestalten. Einige von uns haben es geschafft, ihre Rollen gut auszufüllen und verschiedene Story-Arcs miteinander zu verweben, während andere Schwierigkeiten hatten, sich im Spiel zurechtzufinden. Schließlich stimmen wir darin überein, dass „Alice is Missing“ eine intensive Erfahrung sein kann, die es wert ist, ausprobiert zu werden, jedoch nicht ohne die richtige Vorbereitung und Einstellung. Wir diskutieren die Möglichkeit, das Spiel erneut zu spielen, jedoch mit unterschiedlichen Gruppen oder unter anderen Bedingungen, um neue Perspektiven und Geschichten zu entdecken. Es wird klar, dass das Zusammenspiel, die Dynamik in der Gruppe und die kreativen Ansätze entscheidend für den Spielspaß sind.Interview mit dem Autor des Spiels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr3UwiH7Wr8Euer FeedbackIhr habt Feedback zu dem Podcast und Themen- oder Gastwünsche?

This week on Rebel Nerd Radio, JD & Steve dissect the final story arc of Andor Season 2. They discuss their general thoughts on the story arc, the theme of sacrifice, take a close look at Kleya's evolving role in the show, and the future of Lucasfilm going forward.

This week, we discuss brainstorming a special cover (3:00), when multi-issue storylines mess with trade paperback continuity (12:30), when a craft lesson resonates with you (30:30), finalizing a cover (36:00), tackling a story idea that's been on the backburner (43:40), and getting in the right headspace to give feedback (46:30).

In this episode of Screens in Focus, Diana is joined by Sam to break down Dead City Season 2, Episode 3 — and it's a big one! From Hershel's vulnerable headspace to Maggie's emotional crossroads, Negan's shifting morality, and the strange new Central Park community, they dive into it all. (Heads up: There's a brief audio glitch in the first few seconds — just a little tech hiccup! It clears up quickly, so stay with us!) The episode kicks off with listener feedback and a fun conversation on how music affects emotional moments in TV and film (Casper fans, we see you

Andor's second wraps up with some emotional moments in the final three episodes that make up the BBY 1 story arc. Episode 10 ("Make It Stop") was not something a child wants to watch when their loved one is undergoing heart and lung surgeries. Seeing Luthen, a father figure, on the bed like that and hearing and seeing the breathing apparatus move until Kleya releases him from his future of pain and suffering...Episode 11 was the response to the spy game Kleya just pulled off and the Empire wasn't far enough behind for her to get comfortable. The action wasn't as incredible as the Ghorman Massacre, but it didn't have to be. K-2SO got to be a hero for the rebellion for the first time and Melshi earned his keep as well. It's good to see some Imperials fell along the way because the ones we're seeing here had passed the point of an easy redemption.Episode 12 bridged the gap to Rogue One and despite what was being sold for weeks, a rewatch of the movie right after finishing the show didn't enhance or recontextualize things, at least for This is the Way Podcast's sensibilities. Rogue One is still more close to A New Hope than it is Andor...and there's more characters and story shared in the show. Why does it feel that way?There's room for another season or two or three. A lot happened while Luke, Leia, and Han were at the forefront of that story. Tony Gilroy might be the one to tell those side stories of the rebels behind the scenes setting the stage for the Force to be used in mighty ways. Could we sneak in Wilmon to the Endor assault team? Would Kleya and Vel be tasked to recruit some Bothans? Who might find out where Han was taken by Boba Fett? Would someone have to recruit more star systems to the rebellion? Does anyone discover, too late, that the Milllenium Falcon has a tracking device on it on arrival at Yavin? How about the move from Yavin to Hoth and the scouting and secrecy in constantly moving from base to base?None of that may ever come to fruition. Tony Gilroy has said he's done. The only way I think I'd be interested in hearing those stories is if someone took the care and time he did with Andor and only if they keep Luke, Leia, and Han out of the story completely or relegated to out of focus background. You can do Chewbacca, that's it. I've gotten a hug at Disney Hollywood Studios. That works. I don't want to see fake Lukes and Leias, though. R2-D2, C-3PO, Chewbacca, and our Andor characters. Want me to work on it Lucasfilm? I will. I'll put every ounce of my being into it.The full recap and discussion episodes will come later. Life events continue to wreak havoc on the This is the Way Podcast schedule. I will not guarantee that we'll finish with Andor in May. There's nothing new coming anyway. It's just news updates, Mandalorian and Grogu movie leaks, and Ahsoka season two production notes for the foreseeable future.If you have an episode specific comment, email it to the address we reveal in our podcasts.

Exploring the Power of Music and Mushrooms with East Forest In this episode, East Forest shares his journey from humble beginnings in the music world to creating transformative experiences through his work with psychedelics. Starting from his personal experiences with mushrooms and music, he describes how his art evolved into a tool for spiritual and emotional healing. The conversation dives deep into the creative process behind his new documentary, 'Music for Mushrooms,' which merges his musical talents with the therapeutic potential of psychedelics. East Forest also discusses the importance of integration, the impact of his music on various communities, and the broader societal shifts toward psychedelic acceptance. He offers insights into staying authentic in creative pursuits and maintaining hope and community in challenging times. 00:00 Introduction to East Forest's Journey 01:29 The Power of Music and Psychedelics 02:07 Early Experiences and Inspirations 04:17 Building a Musical Career 07:20 Integrating Music with Psychedelic Ceremonies 12:04 Transition to Documentary Filmmaking 15:50 Challenges and Rewards of Filmmaking 22:30 The Magic of Filmmaking 22:57 Balancing Characters and Storytelling 24:12 The Verite Approach in Documentaries 24:37 Inspiring Inner Work and Change 26:05 The Power of Music and Emotion 27:30 Transformative Experiences with Music 34:56 Challenges and Excitement of Live Performances 36:05 The Story Arc of the Documentary 41:30 Facing Change and Finding Hope  47:26 Final Thoughts and Invitations

Andor's second season BBY 2 story arc is the best "movie" of the three arcs so far. No controversies, unless you think gently altering the way episodes of animated TV and a one-shot comic told the Star Wars story is something about which to get upset. It's always better to see the live action events unfold, at least according to This is the Way Podcast.Today's episode includes first impressions of the stories told in episodes 7, 8, and 9 and the closer we get to Rogue One and A New Hope, the more at stake. It's not a surprise that Cassian Andor is getting out of this show alive. He has a date with destiny on Scariff. This podcast may appear here on YouTube, but it's an audio form for a YouTube audience. I know others provide video clips of the show, but "the Mouse" and Lucasfilm are very proactive in the way they copyright strike and we don't have the time to work by trial and error until we hit on the right formula.The full recap and discussion episodes will come later. Life events have their way of altering schedules, but even with so much going on last week, the episodes were finished before new Andor started streaming on Tuesday night. The hope, dear listeners, is that we can continue to make that happen.If you have an episode specific comment, email it to the address we reveal in our podcasts, but you can interact with This is the Way Podcast via ⁠⁠⁠'X'⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠ @ThisistheWayPod or on Facebook, Youtube, and also on ⁠⁠⁠Spotify⁠⁠⁠!

This is a podcast for Andor's second season 4 BBY story arc that gives first impressions in audio form for a YouTube audience. If you're looking for video clips of the show, you'll be disappointed, because "the Mouse" and Lucasfilm are very proactive in the way they copyright strike.If you're looking for some commentary and reactions on the first three episodes of season two of Andor, this is the place! Andor's first season was a triumph of writing and acting, at least critically. There are many who call it boring, and that's fine, because I'd rather others complain about it having to think too much than be upset with the ones making garbage like The Acolyte.If you're looking for a full recap and discussion, this isn't that kind of episode.

There's one mistake I've made over and over as a DM, and every time, it has sucked the life out of my campaigns. The worst part? I didn't even realize I was doing it. But fixing it? That took just one simple change. Today, I'm sharing that tip with you—along with 12 others—to make sure your early campaign isn't just fun but keeps your players hooked all the way to the endgame.IntroWelcome back to How to Be a Better DM, the show that helps you craft unforgettable D&D sessions. I'm Justin Lewis, and for over three years, my cohosts and I have explored every dungeon master challenge under the sun. Today, we're tackling a crucial question: How do you make your campaign's opening strong enough to keep players coming back for more? Whether you're a new DM or a veteran, these 13 tips will help you sidestep common pitfalls and build a campaign that players can't wait to continue.The first few sessions of your campaign determine whether your players stay invested—or quietly start looking for another game. If you get this wrong, you might find yourself scrambling to keep their attention, dealing with last-minute cancellations, or, worst of all, facing a total campaign collapse. But if you get it right? Your players will be hooked, excited, and fully immersed in your world. Let's make sure that happens.Starting their first campaign is exciting yet nerve-racking for many people. You want to make sure you've gotten it all right! Most often, though, we feel we are falling short of where we want to be. That's all right, though. Almost nothing is more instructive than doing things wrong and learning from them.Your campaign's early stages can be a pivotal period for your party and yourself as a DM. Everyone is still learning how to play together and the early stages of any campaign are when it is most fragile. It's not that difficult to stop playing because the emotional investment hasn't yet been made.So to help you safeguard your early campaign and help you overcome the fragility, here is a simple list of Do's and Don'ts for your early campaign.And there's one tip near the end of this list that completely transformed my campaigns. It's something I overlooked for years, but once I figured it out, my players became way more engaged. I'll share that one toward the end—so stick with me.Before I get deeper into this particular rabbit hole, let me just say that every DM has their own way of doing things—these are just my lessons. Take what works for you and leave the rest.Ok here are my do's and don'ts for the Early Campaign.Do Plan out the Story ArcsBecause the early campaign is so fragile, one way to strengthen it is by planning out your story arcs. That's why you should apply the CASE method. For those of you that don't know that that is, check out episode 157, but in brief, the CASE method stands for Campaign, Story Arc, Session, Encounter.You use the case method to plan each portion of a campaign by building that portion with its smaller constituent parts, encounters build sessions, sessions build story arcs and story arcs build campaigns.Have you ever felt lost 2 sessions into your campaign? That's why the CASE Method exists.In this case, that means that you storyboard and timeline the general story arcs you think are going to happen. You want to do this so that at the very minimum, you have a general idea of the flow of the campaign. Your Story Arc plan is not going to be what happens. Player choice and the natural flow of the game is going to dictate which story arcs get played and which simply fade into irrelevance. It's important to have a general idea of the direction of the campaign so that you can tease certain things that are coming down the pipe (more on that when we get to number 13).For example in one of

In this week's episode, Emily and Olivia review the biopic A Complete Unknown, which focuses on Bob Dylan's life and artistry. They discuss their initial expectations, the film's portrayal of Dylan as an enigmatic figure, and the challenges of biographical storytelling. The sisters also delve into the film's editing choices, sound design, and the performances of the actors and if any will lead to potential for award. They also analyze the film's story arc and climax, ultimately questioning the film's thematic coherence and its representation of Dylan's journey as an artist. However, there is also something to be said that the film is able to introduce new generations to Dylan's music and legacy no matter how much we know or don't know about the man himself. A Complete Unknown was directed by James Mangold, starring Timothée Chalamet, Edward Norton, Elle Fanning, and Monica Barbaro and was theatrically released on December 25, 2024.  Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Film and Expectations03:05 Exploring Bob Dylan's Artistic Essence06:06 The Nature of Biopics and Their Challenges08:59 Character Depth and Passive Protagonists12:07 Fact vs. Fiction in Biographical Storytelling14:49 The Role of Supporting Characters18:02 Story Arc and Climax Analysis21:52 Revisiting the Film's Themes and Structure30:47 Exploring Bob Dylan's Complexity35:18 The Impact of Sound Design36:57 Acting Awards Predictions39:24 Audience Reactions and Nostalgia45:41 Final Thoughts on Bob Dylan's LegacyJump into the conversation: Instagram: @sistersandthestarsYoutube: Sisters and the StarsEmail: sistersandthestars@gmail.com

The Penguin's Sofia Gigante (formerly Falcone) is a departure from her comic book and animated film counterpart. Showrunner Lauren LeFranc gave the character depth and complexity, turning her into a more than worthy adversary for titular Oz Cobb. Both are strategic, observant, and know how to appeal to other peoples' egos. Sofia sees people for who and what they are, and often isn't afraid to confront hard truths head-on. Along with her controlling family, Oz knows this highly intelligent, chillingly calculated woman is usually right, prompting them to do whatever they can to minimize her power. In this show about villains and criminals, LeFranc views Sofia as “the closest thing we have to a hero”, but also knows that she can be just as cruel and ruthless as her enemies and allies. So let's take a look at Sofia's evolution from mafia don's daughter to empowered mob boss, and how she stayed true to herself despite many attempts to make her into someone else Learn more about your ad choices.

When we think of Theoden as a parallel, we often think of him as the flip side of Denethor, which is perfectly apt. But it turns out his actual story and decisions are much more parallel to the protagonist of the story, which is perhaps what you would least expect.

20. November 1995: Durch einen raffinierten Überraschungsangriff wird die Voyager in den epischen Story-Arc gezogen, den Chef Michael Piller für Staffel 2 in petto hat. Strippenzieherin der Intrige ist die durchtriebene Seska – Ex-Maquis, Ex-Bajoranerin und überhaupt Chakotays Ex, die ihre cardassianische Durchtriebenheit wiederentdeckt und der die intellektuell herausgeforderten Kazon aus der Hand fressen. In Deutschland: Das Signal, ausgestrahlt am 24. Januar 1997.

Marketing is like comedy. It has to be bold, memorable and perfectly timed to hit home. Great marketing knows how to turn heads, make an impression, and leave the audience wanting more, just like Midge Maisel.In this episode, we're taking marketing lessons from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.Together, with the help of our special guest, Head of Content & Brand at Close, Chelsea Castle, we're talking about using niche references, making your audience laugh, and making every word count.About our guest, Chelsea CastleChelsea Castle is Head of Content and Brand at sales productivity platform Close. She joined the company in April 2024 and formerly served as a content leader at Lavender.ai. She is a former journalist who became a content strategist and marketer, and brings with her more than 12 years of experience. She also formerly served as Director of Content Marketing at Chili Piper.  What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel:Use niche references. Don't be afraid to use obscure or niche references that target your ideal customer. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel is so detail-oriented that a general audience will see and hear content that's true to the era, but people who know the period well will find meaning and humor in the minutest of details. Ian says, “I would rather hit one person in the heartstrings with the arrow and miss a hundred than sort of just hit a lot of people in the shoulder and have them be like, ‘Yeah, you know that I felt it, but, you know, I didn't feel it in my soul.' And you can do that with every post. If you're going to post, you know, 10 times in a week, then throw some obscure [references] out there, right? 80/20 rule. Have 80 percent of your posts be stuff that is mainstream and 20 percent of your posts be super obscure. And probably the ones that would go viral are the ones that are more obscure anyway.”Make ‘em laugh.  Humor is not just about getting giggles. Chelsea says, “Humor fast tracks trust, but it also helps [content] stick more.” You're building a connection with your audience, earning credibility and humanizing your brand by showing that you have a sense of humor - and understand theirs as well. Make every word count. Quippy, smart dialogue is a hallmark of Amy Sherman-Palladino who created both The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Gilmore Girls. To the point where there are no throwaway lines - each word is meant to be there, every line counts. Chelsea says, “I think that is probably one of the most valuable marketing lessons I think that could be helpful in this industry right now, where, especially with writing, I teach my team [that] every single word needs to earn its spot on the page. We don't really think a lot about where certain things go, or you just usually throw it up on the blog, where it's like, ‘What if we created an interactive page? What if we created a unique landing page for this one type of content?' Or thinking too about magazines where you have restricted word count, where every single word needs to be valuable and really earn its spot. And I think we should think about that with everything.”Quotes*”You can't do anything cool without taking some risks along the way. So you kind of just weigh that balance. As marketers, we're so driven to just drive action, to drive a conversion that we kind of miss the opportunity to build some sort of connection with our audience. And that's harder. It takes more time, more thought, more intentionality.  But that's how you get longer-term dividends and payoffs, is building more connection through what you create.”*”​​I worked in a branding agency, so I cut my teeth there where I was also essentially the content producer and executive producer of websites that I would create. So I feel like I've always had a lot of that in my career in terms of thinking through the whole experience of something with the magazines, I would think about the magazine having a heartbeat. And I apply that to my content now where you kind of want it to like ebb and flow, go up and down. You don't want it flat lined and you don't want it to be like peak the whole time. So I still apply that sort of thinking to how I think about content now, whether it's a virtual event, an in person event, a blog, of thinking about everything as [having] a heartbeat in a way that it's a full experience.”*”I think curiosity and gut are two of the biggest things to think about as a content leader. You've got to be tenaciously curious, ask all of the questions, dig as deep as you can. It's really hard. But it's also really fun work and you have to really lean into your curiosity and also your gut. Trust your gut. I think we don't talk enough about vibes or instinct in marketing. Like at Chili Piper and Lavender, for example, we had an idea of our brand, but a lot of the success came from just trusting our gut and experimenting and kind of just feeling what felt right. And you can't really put that in like a nice strategy doc, right? Like you kind of just have to go with your gut and your instinct and what feels right.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Chelsea Castle, Head of Content & Brand at Close[2:26] About Chelsea's Role at Close[3:38] The Making of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel[7:31] Marketing Lessons from The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel[13:50] The Importance of Detail in Storytelling[23:03] The Power of a Strong Pilot Episode[27:45] Confrontation and Conflict[27:50] Character Development and Story Arcs[28:31] Minor Characters and Their Impact[30:27] Marketing Takeaways from Mrs. Maisel[32:59] The Power of Dialogue[42:21] Humor in Marketing[44:34] Humanizing Marketing[47:56] Building a Brand at Close[55:19] Final Thoughts and AdviceLinksConnect with Chelsea on LinkedInLearn more about CloseAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

We don't often talk about our business Cured on this podcast but we wanted to today because it ties in so well with the main through line of this episode. As we prepared for our 7th anniversary at Cured, we wanted to discuss some of the inner workings that play into attracting and nurturing customers and the story arc and process we use to go about this with emails, ads, and other advertising avenues. This is the same heart led, experience focused approach that allows us to really understand the perspective and perception of those who would benefit from our products. This is also extremely important in our lives and in our relationships. Too often we overlook someone else's perspective and may even have the opposite perception of a goal. We'll dive deep into these concepts along with insecurity, monk mode and prioritization, a lot of parenting thoughts, and more!   ---------------------   Rate, Review, and Follow on Apple Podcasts   “I love these conversations!” If that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing the show.

TVC 650.1: Ed welcomes award-winning screenwriter, director, producer, and documentary maker Marc Cushman, author of These Are the Voyages, a three-volume history of Star Trek: The Original Series. Marc's latest book, Long Distance Voyagers: The Story of The Moody Blues is a two-volume, total-immersion experience in the six-decade career of The Moody Blues, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame group that was the first rock group to champion the “concept album,” which they did with Days of Future Passed, In Search of the Lost Chord, On the Threshold of a Dream, To Our Children's Children's Children, A Question of Balance, Seventh Sojourn, Long Distance Voyager and Keys to the Kingdom. Volume 1 of Long Distance Voyagers covers the formation of The Moody Blues, their breakthrough in the 1960s, and their “classic seven” albums throughout the 1970s. Volume 2 begins with the release of the Long Voyager Album album in 1981, shortly after founding member Mike Pinterleft the group (to be replaced by former Yes keyboardist Patrick Moraz) and continues with the evolution of the Moody Blues over the next four decades. Topics this segment include why the Moody Blues were never nominated for a Grammy Award, despite having one of the biggest hits of 1972 with “Nights in White Satin,” and how the Moody Blues approached songwriting in much the same way as The Beatles.

Bankless hasn't had the most coverage of Solana, the network, and SOL, the asset, but in this episode that changes. Our guest, Austin Federa is Head of Strategy at the Solana Foundation and is the host of the Validated podcast.  David was recently a guest on Austin's podcast where they went back and forth on some of the cultural and philosophical differences between the Solana and Ethereum projects. Today is a continuation of that episode.  Despite some differences in community perspectives, Austin brings a fresh perspective on the design philosophy that relates Solana the network to SOL the asset and so much more.   -----
