I only have 60 seconds before the angry mob breaks the glass and drags my body from the phone booth.

This is my attempt to create a show trailer. Some professional podcasters told me this is a good idea to attract more listeners but while I was recording I transported to 1985.

The new season is arriving later on this year along with a new name, Welcome To Earth Stories.

Do not adjust your channel, the show will be on the same feed but with a brand new cover.

Elevated Inferno **Bonus EP

Elevated Inferno **Bonus EP

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 44:41 — 61.4MB)

As you know I enjoy alien invasions, high speed car chases, and post apocalyptic worlds. Romance was never my thing until now.

You may accuse me of having a typical male brain, whatever that means. But I’m not one dimensional, I do like the softer things in life such as puppies and rainbows.

However romance novels were never my thing. I always thought of them as too sappy, too mushy, but when I read Elevated Inferno by Carlotta Ardell it changed my mind.

For one it’s not mushy and two it’s not sappy. It’s probably because the author is a Robotics Engineer so she doesn’t get lost in emotional dribble.

Yeah that’s right my special guest designs robots. How cool is that? Why would a Doctor in Robotics write a romance novel?

Some people claim the site that sits at the foot of the Appalachian Mountains is so beautiful and serene that it reaches up and touches the face of God. It’s a place covered with lush, green forests where crystal blue streams rush down the majestic hillsides, refreshing the land’s inhabitants.

But, on the other hand, some call it the saddest location in Ohio. Why? What happened here so long ago? Why haven’t many heard about this tragic location? Make sure you tune in to learn about the bravery and faith displayed by those in the Houses of Grace.

Elon Musk And The End Of The World

Elon Musk And The End Of The World

How one billionaire sparked mass hysteria and what this means for writers.

You may have heard rumors of the sky falling and humanity torpedoing to its demise. Not from a rogue nation stockpiling weapons of mass destruction or from a solar flare threatening to reduce us to the stone age, but from one eccentric billionaire Elon Musk.

In the children’s story, Chicken Little, mass hysteria was at its peak. Little was convinced of the immediate apocalypse so he made it his mission to scream it from the rooftops.

Mass hysteria is a virus, it spreads its pestilence through social media and turns us into ravenous wolves.

What is the “unforgivable sin” of Elon Musk?

Free speech.

He wants everyone to share their views without the threat of being cancelled. He feels a thriving democracy is an exchange of ideas.

For writers this should be good news. It’s vital to listen and read opposing views, this is how we grow and become better earthlings.

How To Eliminate Half Of Your Audience

How To Eliminate Half Of Your Audience

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 20:30 — 28.2MB)

There’s some creators who make it a habit to alienate half of their audience, what are they thinking?

Off Season

Isn’t strange when your favorite writer, celeb or podcaster goes out of their way to attack half of their potential audience. In today’s world everything is political down to a comedy sketch to your favorite ice-cream. If you’re not all the way left or right of the political spectrum there are pundits forcing you to pick a side, and not just joining the club but going to war against the other camp. Even on Twitter bios the line is clear, you’re either with me or against me.

Like sheep, many of us believe the mass media, stick to our own kind and cast an evil eye on outsiders. We as earthlings need to rise above the pigeonhole and stop alienating each other.

I’m currently writing Season 5, please continue to spread the word about Poetic Earthlings. Also please buy me a coffee at buymeacoffee.com/poeticearthlings

The mission was simple, follow the list and take out the targets. He obeyed orders without hesitation until he met The Suzy.

Season 4 Finale, Episode 14

A stable government Is the antidote for chaos. Human rights violation and tyranny is the result of unethical leadership.

Poverty stricken nations are not due to a lack of food or resources it stems from the elite. They devise schemes to stay in power and maximize their wealth at the expense of the citizens.

Human life is reduced to numbers on a spreadsheet or objects on a board they could move around.

In this story earthlings survived a nuclear war. Governments have fallen but a new one has risen to maintain peace. Their idea of peace is to force people to comply with their rules.

A stable government must have a healthy democracy where the citizens can speak their minds. We should be able to hold our leaders accountable and to make sure they’re living up to their promises.

In this story the ruling class is shielded from accountability and scrutiny. If one dares to challenge the authority their name will appear on the kill list.

Bullies need to be put in their place or they’ll continue stealing our lunch money or stuffing us in the lockers.

An unethical government is worse than a highschool bully for they could control every facet of our lives.

My wife continues the story of how I died and how I came to life. I’m still trying to adjust to this body, while she’s trying to overcome her guilt.

Season 4, Episode 13

The best way to cope with your inevitable demise is not to hide from it. Earthlings occupy their mind by binging on Netflix, working extra hours, taking endless selfies or getting lost in pop culture. We love distractions.

Hollywood feeds us with endless possibilities and like the hungry hungry Hippo we guzzle it down. In our mind there’s no room for the thought of death, there’s more sexy things to think about.

Our brain is a glorious mansion of many rooms. If we’re bored in one we can turn the key and enter another. Death is the room located somewhere in the basement with cobwebs over the locks and chains. We seldom visit it and do our best not to think of it.

To have a rich, meaningful and spiritual life we need to acknowledge death. What helps me is prayer, reading scriptures and writing stories.

What helps you?

This episode was narrated by Tiffany C Lewis, she’s an author and business owner of Rebel Lit. Special thanks to Alex from Time For Your Hobby Podcast who played the scientist. If you find this episode worthy to share please do so on Twitter and tag @poeticearthling.
