Ep. 107 - Living Without Earth Part 2
Forget the spacestation! That's dangerous! Let's get some ground under our feet.
This week we bring you another thrilling episode about the prospect of living without our planet. We mainly focus on the aspect of physically living on Mars. What sort of problems would we run into? Would we need a government right away, or at all? Where would you choose to set up a colony if it wasn't Mars? We obviously don't know the answers to any of these questions but we sit around and discuss the possibilities and just like every episode we go off on a few tangents. Grab a beer, your favorite Martian and settle in as we bring on the weird!
It’s more likely than not that the first colonists to another planetary body will be going on a one way trip. If humans populate the moon that may not be the case, but Mars and beyond will likely be a one way trip. Meaning, if you go you will spend the rest of your life living out your days that are just a bit longer than Earth’s and kicking around the red sands of Mars while performing experiments to understand more and more about that red ball out there.
Would you be up to the task of leaving Earth behind to live out your life on Mars? Head to our Apple Podcast page or Podchaser page, drop 5 stars, and tell us if you’re ready for your Mars life? Who needs actual reviews? We want to know what your answer is.
One of these days we’ll begin our Bring On The Weird World Tour! We’ll bring the weird to a city near you! We could certainly use help to bring that dream to life. There are several ways you can contribute.

Ep. 106 - Living Without Earth Part 1
We've all heard of this concept. Elon Musk has big plans revolving around this. Can we survive without our home planet? The place you have never ever left. It's like your hometown that you can just never get out of. How would we achieve it? Is it just science fiction to leave our planet and colonize the stars? We aren't sure but we make some wild speculations as well as maybe bring you a little knowledge this week. Grab a beer, your most elegant space suit, and settle in as we bring on the weird!

About Binding Prometheus
I want to start actively advocating on behalf of my own work, and the most valuable part of my canon is, without a doubt, Binding Prometheus, the play I have been working on since 2019 and only finished in 2023 as part of my MA. The play itself is an amalgamation of a million different inspirations. On one end, it evokes the Ancient Greek myth-play, deriving its own title from the earliest extant work of Western drama we have, Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound. On the other end, it borrows significantly from the sci-fi bulwarks from over the years, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. The play could be an episode of Black Mirror, I fear. I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen one episode of Black Mirror.
