The Interview
Interview, everybody's been getting one, here's mine. That's what I tell myself when I walk through the big doors of the theater already wishing I was anywhere but where I was. I'm not a big spotlight guy. I prefer the shadows where it's safer.

How Planets in Solar System Are Formed by Cosmic Dust - Astronomy 101
To better understand the origins of planets let's travel back in time about 4 billion years ago to witness the birth of our very own solar system back then our solar system was a nebula an unstructured sprawling cloud of gas and dust floating in the vast expanse of space now picture this nebula encountering a significant event perhaps a supernova or a passing star this event triggers a Monumental pressure change causing the nebula to collapse onto itself forming a spinning disc of material in the heart of this disc the pressure increases dramatically leading to a spectacular phenomenon the fusion of hydrogen atoms this Fusion triggers a burst of energy so immense that it gives birth to a new star our sun the sun in its overwhelming Grandeur devours a whopping 99% of the material from the disc so with the sun consuming 99% of the material only 1% was left for the formation of planets but how did this 1% turn into the diverse planets we know know today from dust and gas to solid rock hard planets the transformation is nothing short of a cosmic Miracle it's a process that is as fascinating as it is complex let's take a journey back in time about 4.6 billion years ago at this point our solar system was just a loose collection of dust and gas swirling around in a nebula but here's where it gets interesting these tiny particles of dust and gas started to come together drawn by their Mutual gravitational attraction this resulted in clumps of matter that gradually grew larger and larger the young son a fiery ball of gas at the center of this Whirlpool pushed most of the gas to the outer regions of the solar system and evaporated nearby ice this simple Act of solar wind sculpting led to a fundamental division in our Cosmic neighborhood closer to the Sun where the heat was intense the planets that formed were rockier composed mainly of metals and silicates the stuff of Earth Mars Venus and Mercury further out where the sun's heat was less intense gas and Ice could survive leading to the formation of gas giants like Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune then about 4 billion years ago something extraordinary happened a period known as the late heavy bombardment began small celestial bodies perhaps disturbed by the movement of the gas giants began to collide with larger members of the solar system it was a time of cosmic chaos and creation a time when the rough rafts of planets were being hammered into their final forms This clumping Together of protoplanets through countless collisions and gravitational nudges eventually led to the formation of the planets as we know them today the remnants of this violent yet beautiful process are still visible in our solar system the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter being a prime example it's a testament to the complex and awe inspiring process that brought our planets into existence a process that continues to shape the universe as we know it it while this tale of Planet formation is the most widely accepted it is not without its uncertainties and complexities yes the protoplanet hypothesis currently holds the crown as the best explanation we have for the formation of planets our solar system began as a loose collection of gas and dust forming a disc under pressure with the sun consuming 99% of the material the remaining 1% gave birth to the planets but the story doesn't end there the late bombardment a period of chaotic collisions and the movement of gas giants that stirred up smaller bodies are all part of this Grand Cosmic narrative yet there are still parts of this tale that remain shrouded in mystery scientists continue to explore and study hoping to unearth more answers the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter for instance serves as an intriguing piece of evidence supporting the protoplanet hypothesis but it also poses new questions this is the beauty of our universe the more we uncover the more we realize there is to learn so now the next time you look up at the night sky remember the cosmic tale of how those twinkling dots came to be what else would you like to know about our universe.

Building a bridge in the Hiphop scene from Massachusetts to Florida.
Growing up GetMoneyManny was always around music, he has some family in the industry working for artists doing everything from videography to going on tour. Watching that happen around him made him want to perform himself. We asked GetMoneyManny how he started in the Hip Hop Scene, GetMoneyManny Said "My mom took care of me most of the time so anytime we were together it was always a good time because music was involved. All of the old music I like and the old soul that I have I definitely got from her. Listening to that kind of music back in the day is one of the reasons why I got so into storytelling rap. There was always some deeper meaning in those oldies so it’s not a surprise I was quickly drawn to the storytellers. That and the fact that African-American mental health is a topic that is shunned so much. For a lot of us, the only way we can talk about and/or get through problems is in our lyrics."

Introducing
“Hello everyone. Let me welcome Colt Henderson to the table. He is a member of vocal.media, has stories in three anthologies, and is apparently working on his first novel.” The host of the show said into the microphone in front of him. “This is where you talk, Colt.” “Oh, right. I, um, I'm 35, from north Texas. I have a dog named Sir Cottonwood III and a parakeet, Buddy Boy. I live …” “Let me stop you there. This isn't a dating site.” The host interjected. “This is about the coming year and your plans for your writing.” “Well, one thing I need to work on is my dialog.” The handsome man smirked. “But what else would you like to know?” “You usually write horror, correct?” “Yes.” “What are some other genres you would like to try out? Branch out from the horror scene.” “I am going to try and branch out on Vocal. They have so many options it's hard to narrow down, so I am going to try a few different genres.” “That's a bit dry, but it's an answer.” “What do you mean dry?” “It's just informative. What's your character? Who are you?” The host asked through his aviator sunglasses. “OK … what's your next question? I will try a bit harder.” Colt sat back in the comfortable chair and waited. “What else do you think you should work on?” “That's an easy one! I need to show more and tell less. I am still guilty of it now, unfortunately.” “How often do you write now? Can you write more?” “I currently write a little bit everyday, but I can and will write more this year.” “You brought up Vocal. What is it for people unaware?” “It is a platform for writers of every type. There are poets, novelists, short story writers, tech writers, and so many other things it is easier to visit the site at vocal.media. Click on Communities and there is a long list.” “Are there any other benefits to being a part of Vocal?” The host asked as he leaned back in his chair and took a sip of whatever was in his plain black mug. “There are several benefits to being a member. One would be the ability to read other members' pieces. I always comment after I read something. The second would be the ability to collaborate with fellow Vocal members. I have done it once and loved it. I just haven't been around much to be in another. Third is the challenges for members. I have been writing for the challenges for a few years now. I have Vocal to thank for getting me started to write again.” “Is there anyone on Vocal you would like to collaborate with?” The man asked, getting closer to the microphone. “The last collaboration I was a part of was about climate change, and the one before that was mental health awareness. I don't know many people on Vocal and the few I do are constantly pushing themselves. I wouldn't want to possibly mess up their flow.” “What kind of impact are you going to have if you are afraid to interact with other creators?” The host asked as he picked up the mic and rolled his chair closer to Colt. “I wouldn't say afraid. I would s …” “You're a shy and sensitive guy.” The eccentric interviewer said low and slow with the microphone pressed to his lips. “No, I would say I am trying to respect their space.” Colt asserted with confidence. “And then you get to stay in your bubble.” The flamboyantly dressed man stated. “I guess so.” “So what do you want your impact on Vocal to be?” “I want to be known for good horror, but I think being good at building solid stories overall would be nice.” “Tell us more about those Vocal challenges you mentioned.” “Sure! They have different writing challenges all the time. They have short story challenges and poetry ones. 1st prize is always different, but it is usually money. They also have sponsored challenges sometimes. I have been entering for a few years now. “How has that shaped your writing?” “Like I said, I have Vocal to thank for me writing again. I have always had stories running through my mind, but Vocal got me to write them down. I even enter random online writing contests now. It just depends on the prompt and if I find it interesting. It has allowed me to work through some stress.” “Well, that is a good thing. Stress can kill.” The red three piece suit wearing man feigned interest until he asked his next question into a nonexistent camera. “What are you working on now?” “I am working on my first novel.” “Awesome! What's it about? What's it called? Tell us everything!” “Well, it doesn't have a name yet, but it is about a woman turning into a wendigo. This isn't a mythological creature feature either. It's more of a psychological look into someone's mind. A study of one person's fall into madness.” “That sounds like a great concept!” The host said. “Yeah, it's a difficult subject. I just hope I am able to do it justice.” The guest replied. “I can see the passion in your eyes. Where was that earlier?” The red man asked. “I don't know.” “You're a little scared. It's okay.” “I am not scared.” The guest said louder than before. “It's 2024, it is fine to be scared. I am scared of spiders and trampolines!” The host said as he leaned back in his chair, microphone in his hand. “I am not scared!” Colt bellowed. “Stop saying that.” “Okay, okay.” The man cracked a flashy smile. “I am just trying to help you work on you.” The chair rolled into the wall as Colt stood up abruptly. “Hey! Where you going?” Colt flung the headphones off and slapped the microphone in front of him. “That wasn't necessary.” He then kicked the chair, causing several holes in the wall. “You're gonna be billed for that.” Colt swung the door open, flipped the host the bird, and walked out of the room. “Well, that could have gone better. Next at the table is a dog lover looking for her long lost family. We are scraping the bottom of the barrel.”
