Venture into the deep past of the cosmos with Crash Course Pods: The Universe. In episode one, John Green and Dr. Katie Mack start at the beginning -- the first 60 seconds of the universe 13.8 billion years ago.
Episode one is out now! Listen on YouTube or wherever you get your podcasts!
I am far too young to have been around during the true golden age of radio, but my grandfather always let us listen to cd's of his favourite audio drama's when we had to do long car journeys. They were from the 50's, they sounded so old and all the names were weird and American, which I wasn't familiar with. It was MAGICAL. Journey into Space (the dutch translated version) formed me into the woman I am today. I found it on youtube some time ago and it still gives me chills. My sister and I will still look at eachother and wisper-scream "Whitakerrrrrr" whenever something spooky happens, as a reference to this story we heard together almost 20 years ago in my grandfathers old suzuki.
I am so unbelievably happy we live in a renaissance and that in a way, we all come together on this blue site to listen to our favourite story every week, like families used to gather together in the living room to listen to their favourite stories. It's such a little ray of sunlight.
We're just ONE WEEKEND AWAY from the premiere of Arc 3! And OF COURSE we have some new Arc art to share with you all, once again lovingly brought to life by Lorena Lammer.
How many new details can you spot in each photo?
Also some MAJORLY exciting news: we're coming in on breaking 30k Patreon subscribers, AHOOHOO! Thank you all SO MUCH for your continued support, we are so beyond honored to be able to share this world and these stories with you.
If we hit that milestone before Tuesday, we'll share an exclusive sneak preview of the Arc 3 premiere with y'all on Patreon!
This is outside the field of my usual posts but with the recent development of Watcher Entertainment rapidly digging their own grave:
If you want some content with the similar vibe to Buzzfeed Unsolved, whilst being really unique and honestly improving on the format in a lot of ways, I really recommend a podcast I’ve listened to for a while now called “This Paranormal Life”
Two Irish friends/comedians/“professional paranormal investigators” investigate the paranormal each week, alternating in bring each other new cases, and by the end of the episode, try to convince the other that the ghost/alien/cryptid story of the week is real or fake.
It’s been running since 2017, and while that means that not all the content is amazing, and I’d assume some hasn’t aged the best, there are so many absolute banger episodes, and there is a shit ton of backlogged episodes on most podcast platforms including video content on YouTube (episode 363 released less than a week ago from posting this), not even including the years worth of backlogged Patreon content.
Honestly like this is just an excuse for me to share a podcast I really enjoy lmao, but I know a big drive of people following Watcher was searching for the vibe of Buzzfeed Unsolved adjacent content, and I think that this might appeal to people searching for that kind of show!
I am on part 40(i) and I miss Oscar. I miss him guys. I miss him so much. Did I mention I miss Oscar. Did agghG,,,he said Arthur is his purpose who says that why are they like this they make me cry.
