Lots of interesting news this week, and we have a lot of fun sharing it. The first drone capable of flying humans has been developed in Germany, the Volocopter VC200. Want to take a ride?  Check out our links page for videos.  An International Space Station Astronaut participated in last weekend’s London Marathon, using gear aboard the space station, including an iPad for virtually being on the London running route.

And GMO Mosquitoes are in the news of late as the latest frontier for eradicating humanity’s greatest pest.  But at what cost? What could go wrong?  We also got a kick out of reporting about Brainprints, a new form of security. And of particular interest to our live audience is the field of light therapy and optogenetics, which promises breakthroughs in pain control and wound healing. Researcher Bobby Wilder calls in to gives us some DIY info on using lasers..Enjoy!

'Mythic- Voyage of the Kinship' new TV Series Launching. Getting Mythic in Santa Cruz! Meet the inspired creator, Kiah Dorius.

Listen Now to Kiah Dorius with AL & Sun (aka Dr. Mrs. Future)

Years, some say centuries in the planning, a new TV media series, sourced from a Santa Cruz based filmmaker and artist Kiah Dorius and her talented karass of mythic characters, is kicking off this week with an inspired Indie Go Go Campaign and soiree for cast, crew, family and early funders.

What is Mythic?

Kiah describes a show where the characters have a mythic version of themselves in another world, living larger than life adventures and in some way communicating with their normal selves the lessons learned in this world. Films like the Wizard of Oz have touched on this idea, but she intends to explore the mythic worlds and their attendant lessons of life further, with a cast of characters to which we can relate.

Will we be able to relate? Well, consider that  being normal in Santa Cruz is what passes for mythic in Kansas, and we have quite a range for engaging stories. While on the air with us, she describes some of the characters and plot lines.

Kiah while on The Dr. Future ShowWhat does it really mean to say ‘follow your dreams’ to others? With Kiah, it means discovering your mythic self.

We asked her for a little tour of these mythic realms she is birthing (crowing phase now). She was delightfully entertaining and profound.   Enjoy and if inspired, please help her birth this baby!
