Worldbuild With Us

This week, we finish up our aquatic solarpunk planet with geneti-psychologists facing off against errors in the code. Listen in to hear more about psychic-adjacent street sharks, selective evolution, totally not stealing from Children of Men, Courtney's continued efforts to make Waterworld happen, and a call for ideas and art!   Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us?  Send us y...

Life comes from the ocean...UNTIL IT DOESN'T. A solarpunk prompt from patron Commissar Whiskers has us cancelling the apocalypse by plucking the fruit of life from the seas.

In this episode, we've got spy games spanning time and space, secret agents, rogue psychics, and an unknowable, incomprehensible entity that sits at the center of this fraying web.

As noted in the intro, we're going to switch up the format for non-Patron promp...

This month's patron-exclusive episode brings us back to the realm of hot (or lukewarm) takes on popular media!

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).
