This episode is a total masterpiece--seriously. Meet Abstrk, the visionary street artist transforming concrete canvases into breathtaking works of art. We dive into the vibrant world of murals, tagging, and and the powerful connections between art, community, and purpose. We talk all things street art--how it's a rebellion, a love letter, and a full-on art movement in one. From the neighborhoods that informed his style to the his rise as a distinctive voice in urban art, Abstrk talks about the spaces that shaped him, the fine balance between expression and rebellion, and the way his work reflects his love for family and culture. Bold, insightful, and colorful, this episode is a must for anyone who's ever wondered what it means to truly leave your mark.

Hold onto your broomsticks, Earthlings--Em and Gem are back with part 2 of this Halloween series, and this time they're bringing in a tarot reader with an extremely special deck from a beloved Latin icon known for his capes, cosmic flair, and mucho, mucho amor (any guesses?). From decoding the magic of crystals to diving into the mystery of tarot, they're exploring the mystical side of the season. And yes, they're getting a real-deal reading on their future (let's hope it's not all skeletons and bad omens).

Buckle up, boo. Em and Gem are going deep into Halloween’s weird, witchy past—from the ancient Celtic Samhain to why we’re carving up pumpkins. Wondering who invented candy corn or how Latin celebrations honor ancestors and the afterlife? Throw in an ouija board, a ghost writer (literally), and an occult rocket scientist, and you’re in for a Halloween that is all treats, no tricks.

Welcome to the first ever Great Debate on In Our Own World Podcast, where we take life's most essential debates—like "Should kids have privacy?"—and argue them with the kind of passion you'd normally save for discussing who makes the best beans at the family function. Hosted by the delightfully charming Cris, who's been perfecting their debating skills in their Puerto Rican household since birth (so you know they’re not holding back), this episode promises to dive into the issues that truly matter.
We’ve got our beloved Commanders Gem and Em as today’s “master debaters” (we know, it’s too easy), tackling questions like “Which came first, the chicken or the egg?” and “How do we feel about space exploration, considering we’re literally recording this podcast in space?” Don’t worry, we’ll keep things light… unless someone brings up pineapple on pizza. Then all bets are off.
So buckle up for a fun ride—there are rules, but whether they get followed? We’ll see.

This week, we're taking off on a deep dive into the most baffling laws our little blue planet has to offer. From regulations that make you question if gravity is the only thing keeping us grounded, to rules that sound like they were drafted by aliens on their lunch break, we'll explore just how far the human imagination stretches when it comes to legislating everyday life. Think of it as a guided tour through humanity's finest overreactions. No spacesuit required, but a sense of humor helps.
