RE-RELEASE (6/23/24)

Well folks, we're taking a short break to work on some other projects, but we'll be back in mid November! Until then, enjoy another early episode!

Aaron Bodling joins us to hear the story of Drupada as he is attacked by the Kuru clan.

Drupada is a good king who has ruled by the wisdom he has gained from his guru, so he has no idea why a bunch of teenagers are leading an army against him. Aaron and Azure love the flashback and different version of Drupada's daughter/son Shikhandi. Satish is thrilled to rediscover Drupada's importance in the Mahabharata, and foreshadows galore with the new characters introduced at the end.

S.P. Jayaraj is a mythology and Mahabharata fanatic and the creator of the mythic world of Adijari that is the setting of his two novels, The Secret of the Zipacna Dragons and Legacy of the Crow. He is also a Creative Life Coach through his business Imagination Life Coaching. He draws inspiration from global mythology.

RE-RELEASE (3/3/24)

Well folks, we're taking a short break to work on some other projects, but we'll be back in mid November! Until then, enjoy this episode from the very start of it all!

For this episode we welcome Aaron Fiskradatz and tell him the story of Bheeshma sticking to his vow, even if it means the end of the world. We hear how the powerless princess Amba is as relentless in taking matters into her own hands and is prepared to spend 2 lifetimes to get her revenge. Aaron is not surprised by Bheeshma's 'stick-to-itness.' and loves seeing how the story can be told through multiple perspectives.

Aaron Fiskradatz is a Technician, Artist, and Educator in the arts. He is a master at broadcasting live performances, whether it is to hundreds of fans, or sharing an online classroom with half a dozen students. He’ll take care of the technical know-how so that you can concentrate on your presentation.

If you live in the Twin Cities Metro Area and you would like your in-person event streamed live to distant participants. Aaron can help you with the proper equipment setup, and even run tech for the event as it happens. Weddings, concerts, parties, whatever you’re doing to connect with others, Aaron can help you do it online at the same time.

'He's also just a swell guy to work with'- says S.P. Jayaraj

We are excited to welcome local artist, Layl McDill to the podcast, and tell her about Karna's role in the epic, and the new challenges to his loyalty.

After Krishna leaves the Kauravas after their attempt to capture him, Krishna still seeks peace through other methods. He decides to have a conversation with Karna and question his loyalty to Duryhodhana. With the threat of war on the horizon, Krishna and Kunti decide that it is time for some secrets to come out.
