Episode Twenty Eight

 In science fiction, first contact stories are a dime a dozen, so here’s two more.

Episode twenty eight is in two parts. The first, Funny Side Up, messes with cause and effect a little. The second, Bob Really Was A Moron, is a little more earthy, but don’t become too attached to Bob, he’s not long for this world, or a world in another dimension.

Sci fi is fun. Fun to mess around with, play with, and fun to imagine your own way.

Thank you for supporting this independent podcast. Share a sci fi tale with a friend, or on social media, help Musetrap And The Laird make first contact with some new listeners.

Episode Twenty Seven

 Eventually any job can get boring.

Even being a deity can wear thin after a while, you know, given eternity and all.

Episode twenty seven is a dialogue, an old deity checking in on the work of a junior deity who apparently holds responsibility for our planet. It’s titled Dialogues - Statues because it is the first of an ongoing series. 

Thank you for supporting this independent podcast, why not share your favourite episode on social media?

Episode Twenty Six

“There’s no aphrodisiac like loneliness

Truth, beauty, and a picture of you”


The Whitlams, No Aphrodisiac 


Some people find their best friends are long dead authors, or objects, or birds. We often worry about such people, feel they must be lonely. They may well be lonely, but find other humans don’t relieve that feeling. 

These are the scholars, the teachers, the slightly out of time, out of sync people who will lead us, via truth and beauty, out of this mess we call life.

Episode twenty six is in two parts, Violin Holy and Nuance, one who sees all and those who see deeply.


“Any new possibility that existence acquires, even the least likely, transforms everything about existence.”

Milan Kundera
