Season 4 Episode 9: Space Travel in Pop Culture

Nerds At Church

Join Rev. Emily E. Ewing (they) and Rev. Kay Rohloff (she) and special guest Jeremy Cobb (he/him) of Three Black Halflings to dive into space travel in pop culture for episode 9 in our Nerds At Church season of Epiphany!

The scripture we refer to for this episode can be found here. We mentioned episode 5 of this season on astrophysics with Dr. Katie Mack. Emily also mentioned the Horror Nerds at Church episode on Everything Everywhere All at Once. Jeremy mentioned the songs Slippery People by Talking Heads and 39 by Queen. Jeremy also mentioned this video about the Frankfurt School from YouTuber Kyle Kallgren and the way that popular art reflects the culture of the time.

If you’re interested in more Paradox Perfect, check out their itch.io page, which lets you download the game and has links to all the times Jeremy’s publicly GMed the game. Jeremy also mentioned this 3BH episode where he GMs Paradox Perfect with guest Brennan Lee Mulligan. Jeremy also GMed Paradox Perfect with Not Another D&D Podcast on 3BH in part 1, and with NADDPod on 3BH part 2. Also, we were slightly off on our information. The Pathfinder Ancestry Jeremy mentioned is basically a stuffed animal, but they're actually called Poppets and you can find them here.

CN: we talk about the rise of Nazis and child dismemberment and danger when discussing the deep dive.
