Episode Thirty

 As we learn more of our planet, more of our universe, we’re compelled to alter our understanding of the word language.

Episode thirty, Drinking Gum Tree Words, is a short chat about language and communication. For humans language and emotion are often closely connected, even the most austere instruction manual can make us feel things. Learning that language is so much more than we once thought it was can only make us feel more broadly and more deeply, make us feel more connected with everyone and everything.

Pavel Kushnir

 The Laird and Musetrap pay their small tribute to Russian pianist, writer and political prisoner Pavel Kushnir.

Billionaire media owners sell free speech stories, they ignore the actions of their billionaire pal in Russia. Pavel Kushnir possessed the astonishing courage to stand up to this war mongering cabal, to simply state that he opposed a war. He is one of many artists who couldn’t look away, who loved peace more than they loved their own lives.

Musetrap And The Laird bows to his greatness.

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?
