This week, steampunk, solarpunk, and breadpunk simmer in a love story across time with dollops of cryptids and elves, all served on a bed of clockwork Earth with fresh-baked magic sourdough.

We're mostly still on Earth...mostly. New patron Alex inspires us with an otherworldly entity that's using our planet as a development playground.

This week, we finish up our aquatic solarpunk planet with geneti-psychologists facing off against errors in the code.

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. Or maybe there was never an apocalypse at all? Plus: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Daniel's demands for slutty book covers, and more! Do you have a worldbuilding prompt you want to send to us?

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. The tachyonic antitelephone is ringing; will you answer the call? Or perhaps the only winning move is not to play at all?... PLUS: Changes! As noted in the intro, we're going to switch up the format for non-Patron prompts. We really appreciate your feedback, so please let us know what you think!

This month's patron-exclusive episode brings us back to the realm of hot (or lukewarm) takes on popular media! Daniel presents his doctoral thesis on Masters of the Universe, we overanalyze Dragonheart through socioeconomic lenses, and we talk about the nature of art itself. Plus: Queen's dope movie theme songs, subtle worldbuilding techniques, historical propaganda, escapist wish fulfillment, Rob's celebrity face blindness, and so much more!
