Joining today: entertainer, co-host of The Geekly Oddcast, and host of Odder Worlds, David Herman
What if an advent was something left behind by the gods, as proof that your gift had been recognized? Or currencies an acknowledgement of the relationship between those of great need and those with great power or verve? If what you were worth was measured not by success but the work?
We’ve spoken before about what makes an ‘earth’. But the things that make that work—currencies, faith, presence, the ‘rules’ of the world—deserve their own light. So join us tonight as we talk about building roads, the internet, pamphleteering and the printing press. And then maybe, in what little time is left, on that rarest of elusive pigments:
Kobold blue.
We hope you enjoy.
