They say confession is good for the soul, but it's easier said than done.
Season 5, Episode 17
Martin has a problem to put it mildly, rather than dealing with it he tries avoidance.
Everywhere he turns and every beer he drinks he can't shake the voice.
The voice is his conscience, that moral barometer who tries to compel him to come clean.
Special performance by Jessica Berson from Echoes in-between podcast
Brent Stark from the Most Precious Commodity podcast.
Leo Allen from Voluntary Input who played the news reporter.
And my sweet wife Valrica.

As you may know last week's episode, Queens Curse, was plagiarized by another creator. I called him out on Twitter and that's when things turned ugly.
Season 5, Episode 16 (Bonus)
He also said that I'm not woke enough and black enough because I don't tackle black issues. This is absurd. My show is about bringing every nerd together regardless of their nationality.
This is not a political show, sometimes it makes sport of politics but I'm not picking sides.
As for wokness, he may have a point, my show is not woke. I don't apologize for this and I'm not going to change the show to be more culturally relevant.

For over a thousand years he stood as a silent observer watching the chaos and the beauty of a fallen world.
Season 5, episode 15
In the past couple of years many statues and monuments in the United States have been demolished by angry mobs.
They say the values and beliefs of these men carved in stone runs counter to today's morals.
Queens Curse is a story of a man frozen in glass. His origins are unknown, but his message is profound.

You'll think loyalty begins at home. The person you share your bed with will have your back. Buckle up buttercup your in for a twist.
Season 5, Episode 14 (Bonus)
Recently I've been receiving positive and negative feedback about my show. Positive feedback is always welcome but the negative feedback is like a dagger in the neck.
At least my show is gaining an audience and the larger the audience the more negative vibes.
Every movie star and famous authors goes through a battlefield of hurtful words and misguided comments.
To become a person of notice you have to develop titanium skin. You will be attacked from all sides so the titanium is crucial.
Last week's micro episode entitled, Only One Listener, is a good example. I've received angry messages from the island nation of Evaugne. They had an issue with an older episode called Messenger Pigeon, about a potential suicide bomber.
I thank the people of Evaugne who took the time to send me feedback. You can do the same on Apple Podcast by leaving a rating and review.

An alleged faith healer emerges from the center of the Earth, a Homeland security agent is assigned to track him down. Is he a threat, a lunatic or an answered prayer?
Season 5, Episode 13
I've always been fascinated with the idea of intelligent lifeforms living in the centre of the Earth. No wonder why I'm a weirdo.
The thought of earthlings living under our feet for thousands of years is provocative, at least for me it is.
You probably didn't think of it until now and why should you, life on the surface is already stressful. Living with "surface dwellers" could feel unbearable.

Many of us live as caterpillars when we could become butterflies
Season 5, Micro Episode (Ep 12)
When you're middle class and live in a safe neighborhood it's easy to shield yourself.
The struggles of living paycheck to paycheck, or putting up with the food price hike doesn't compare to living out in the street or at a homeless shelter.
The girl in this story detached herself from her butterfly wings and decided to sell her soul.
It's easy to label and disregard these people without acknowledging their humanity. Every human being is sacred, however sinful practices creeps in and ruins the work of art.

Cindy's favourite podcaster is warning her of danger, will she listen to his voice before it's too late?
Season 5, Episode 11
They say podcasting is the most intimate form of media because it feels like the host is speaking directly to you.
Radio and Television is designed for a group experience hence the name broadcast.
Podcasts are designed for an individual experience. When you listen to a podcast you're alone with your headphones.
That's why I enjoy listening to podcasts, especially those that tug at my heart and intellect.

An unusual email leads me halfway around the world to a small village in the remote country of Evaugne risking my life for my only listener.
Season 5, Episode 10
I'm kind of obsessive when it comes to listener feedback and meeting the needs of my diehard fans.
Obsessive maybe an overstatement but I'm dedicated to you.
When I heard I only had one listener in the island nation of Evaugne I was perplexed and humiliated. Only one listener?
This listener kept sending emails and eventually an airline ticket. Should I stay in Canada or travel around the globe for my loyal fan?
Special thanks to Leo Allen from Voluntary Input for inviting me on his show.

Is reality objective or is it a mere mental construct?
Season 5, Episode 9
This episode breaks the 4th wall and dives feet first into the meta of story building.
The main character starts to realize he's the main protagonist in the story he created.
In order to maintain the universe he developed he has to continuously articulate this story.
There's some people who deny objective reality, they think the physical laws of the cosmos are a manifestation of the mind.
I don't fall into this camp however I find it fascinating.

I'm sleep deprived so this episode may seem backwards and uncouth.
Micro Episode Season 5, Ep 8
Last week's episode, Quantum Division, did something bizarre to my brain. It was almost like a cool electric shock danced through my head making it difficult to sleep.
Due to my sleep apnea and active imagination, sleep doesn't come easy.I envy those people who sleep like a baby.
Are you one of those blessed humans who sleep through the night undisturbed, who wake up in the morning like a viagra commercial?
For me sleep is a battlefield of constant tossing and turning and to make matters worse I have to sleep with a CPAP machine.
Picture Darth Vader, well that's me in a breathing mask. It took me over a year to get used to this contraption.
It was my wife's idea a couple of years ago for me to go to the doctor.She noticed I temporarily stopped breathing while I was asleep.
Doctor told me to make an appointment with the Sleep Clinic, this is a place where you sleep overnight and they monitor your breathing. Sounded strange but I decided to go because it would make for a good story.

One side wants to maintain the Timeline the other wants to change it.
Season 5, Episode 7
An agent wakes up naked in a hotel room. Things appear familiar but he can't recall his name and how he got there. This story and its connected stories took years to develop. My goal was to write a time travel adventure since I'm a geek for time displacement tales.
Time traveling stories could be confusing, you have to make sure you establish laws and do your best to abide by them.
If the author negates his own time travel laws then the story becomes loopy and difficult to follow. Hopefully this story, Time Collective and 100 Years From Now, will make sense. I did my best, there's no guarantees.
If you find the time travelling stories loopy and upside-down please reach out to me, I'll do my best to explain it. Hopefully you won't be more dumbfounded after I explain it.

A Television set gives Delion glimpses into the future, will he use this knowledge to feed his gambling addiction or to save the world?
Season 5, Episode 5
This story takes place in the 1930's when Televisions were a hot commodity. Owning a television was a symbol of wealth and status. Every family craved for a picture box even though the screen was small and the images were in black and white. There were only a couple of channels and the content was subpar but it was the latest and greatest technological achievement.
Remember when Apple launched the IPhone in 2007. We marveled at its touch screen display and smooth edges. It could make calls, play music and even surf the web. However there was no Gmail, Facebook and other third party apps, you couldn't even cut and paste.
This did not stop the average consumer from going ape crazy for the new device. A television was like an iPhone but on steroids. In this story Delion was trying to compete with his neighbor by buying a picture box and not just any old picture box but one that displays a window into the future.

A new law grants children the right to divorce their parents, but is the government going too far?
Season 5, Episode 3
Our top news story this hour is the controversial Child Liberation From Parents Act that just passed in the house of commons. This law grants children full autonomy over every aspect of their lives. For example Children can divorce their parents and choose more suitable caregivers. Opponents to this law are outraged stating this is the demise of the traditional family.
On the other side of the debate proponents said this was long overdue to grant equity to all Canadians.In a world where everyone is crying out for justice and equality is it possible to take things too far?

The Enforcer is wanted by the State as he travels through the Wasteland with a screaming, dirty and hungry Suzy by his side.
Season 5, Episode 1
Written by: Samaritan Dark Twitter @Samaritandark
We return to the post apocalyptic world where humanity's fate relies in the hands of a rogue Enforcer.
Even though the Enforcer is mechanical and his mind is a system of AI components he understands that humans are sacred.
He travels with Suzy through the Wasteland doing his best to protect her. By doing this he's defying his basic programming and the authority of the State.
We could all learn from the Enforcer, some government rules are immoral and go against the human soul.
Too often we're programmed and refuse to think for ourselves, whatever our leaders dictate we fall in line like trained seals.
As fellow citizens of Earth we need to speak clearly, boldly and passionately before all of our freedoms are stripped away.
