Six Realities

  • SCIENCE FICTION

We'll never see floating skyscrapers, bright orange grandmothers, humans born fully grown, or film strips growing like grass. Still, we can't speak for all of the other realities out there. Let's open a window in space-time and see how different human life can get from what we know. What I can't promise is that our own reality is any less weird than the ones in these six stories. New episodes every Sunday at 8 am from November 30th, 2025, through January 4, 2026. Get in touch with John at: john.lawson81798@gmail.com

You never know what's lurking in your genes… Credits:  Piano: Stan O'Beirne Song: "I Ain't Agoin' to Weep No More," (1901).  Harry Von Tilzer (composer); Dan W.
