Hi Friends!
Our episodes on the constellation Corona Australis have been releasing for the last couple of weeks -- we hope you have enjoyed the new format so far! No major notes for this one, so just the usual note that all music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use. We have included links or attribution in prior show notes. You can keep up to date with our releases by following us Mastodon (https://universeodon.com/@starrytimepod)! Love, Kit & Jordan Hello friends,
It's been a minute, so I wanted to write a quick update! Back in the spring, Jordan and I had a meeting (whilst sitting poolside at a Theme Park hotel) and decided on our Season 2 line-up and theme. Drumroll, please -- our season 2 theme will be QUESTS & CURSES. We had wanted to start releasing in June, but life happened. Also, we're going to be switching up our release schedule and format. Here's a run down for Season 2:
We've been recording and banking episodes so that we can release on a consistent schedule, which took a little time. But, I am happy to announce we'll be returning with Season 2 on August 5th! In the meantime, we hope you'll tell a friend about season 1. You can stay up-to-date on our socials (which I run): Mastodon (https://universeodon.com/@starrytimepod) Tumblr (https://www.tumblr.com/blog/starrytimepod) Twitter (https://twitter.com/starrytimepod) -- I'm here a less these days & tend to be more active on Mastodon :) With Love, Kit and Jordan Hi Friends! The final episode of Season 1: The Zodiac will be posted soon. We had a blast with this one, and hope you'll enjoy it.
All music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use. We have included links or attribution in prior show notes. After Episode 13 is posted, we'll be taking a brief break to go on vacation & start planning Season 2. We're hoping to release some short asterisms between Season 1 and Season 2. If you have thoughts or suggestions for next season, let us know!

Point of clarification: when discussing Cepheid variable stars Kit said they pulsate with a period of 0-1 days... but she didn't mean that. Instead, she meant they tend to have a period between 1 and 100 days. :) All music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use. We have included links or attribution in prior show notes. You can keep up to date with our releases by following us Mastodon (https://universeodon.com/@starrytimepod)! With Love, Kit and Jordan Episode 11: Scorpius will be available soon! Creature Corner returns with vengeance in this episode all about the Scorpion of the night sky.
Please be aware that one of the myths does involve attempted sexual assault of Artemis by the hunter Orion and other mentions of sexual assault. We do not discuss this in any graphic detail, but it is present in the stories and discussed in Kit's ret-constellation. All music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use.

In some parts of the audio there we're slightly out of sync -- we're not sure what happened, but we'll look into it for the next episode! As always, we appreciate your patience and kindness as our learning process continues. Episode 10: Libra is now available! Libra is the only inanimate object in the Zodiac constellations. So, we've introduced a new segment called "Archeology Attic" where we learn a bit more about the history and significance of this object.
Don't worry, though, this episode also includes our standard segments on astronomy (Cosmic Background & Gold Star), mythology (Retellings, Analysis, and Ret-Constellations), and pop culture (Pop Culture Super Star & Wish Upon a Star)!

After finishing recording and beginning editing, we found Jordan's audio was a bit muffled. Likely due to a her recording in a new locale. We've got a plan to address it for next month, and we appreciate your patience as we (amateur podcasters) continue to learn and get better. Episode 9: Virgo will be posted soon! We decided to release this as our October episode so we could all bask in the sunshine of Leo a little longer. Plus, the astronomy and stories of Virgo have some real Fall/Halloween energy!
Please be aware that one of the Virgo myths contains discussion of suicide. All music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use. We have included links or attribution in prior show notes. Please follow us on Twitter (https://twitter.com/starrytimepod) for updates and general pod/space/mythology/stuff we like content! With Love, Kit and Jordan Episode 8: Leo is Live!
We apologize for the delay in releasing this month's episode! We were busy being Leos and travelling during August. We also had some technical difficulties with our recording platform, so you might notice places where we were out of sync or talking over each other. We've reached out to our tech support and should have a solution for future episodes! We appreciate your patience and understanding -- neither of us have any audio technician training :) All music and images we use are either our own or free for commercial use. We have included links or attribution in prior show notes. In the pod, Kit mentioned the work of Tom Drake in our analysis of the Humbaba myth.
