We will explain what we are doing and what we are not doing in this project. We will explain the general framework of our episodes and give a high level overview of what we will cover in Season 0. We will conclude the episode (as we will conclude all our episodes) with a question for listeners to discuss in the forum prior to a final decision at the start of the next episode.

Upcoming Moot

A phoenix is taking flight right above a humanoid bust, as though the person were imagining a myth.

Current Academy Selection

A brunette child with long hair in a Victorian child's dress leans against an impressively old tree gazing out across an expanse of fields which alternate suspiciously between light and dark green in a checkerboard pattern. No cat is visible in the tree.
