Welcome to Space Tomatoes, the podcast where we boldly go where no logic has gone before, armed with nothing but an unhealthy amount of enthusiasm and a profound lack of focus. Here, we discuss everything and nothing, jumping from topics like quantum physics to why pineapple is (or isn’t) a pizza topping—sometimes in the same sentence. Join us as we dive deep into the void of random musings, irrelevant trivia, and obscure pop culture references that are guaranteed to make you giggle, cringe, or wonder if we’ve lost touch with reality (spoiler: we have).

    Terrence Rotering - Flight and Fiction The Trinian Chronicles Unveiled S2-EP23

    Retired Air Force WSO Terrence “Roter” Rotering on Low-Level Flying, Writing a 10-Book Multiverse, and AI Havok and LX interview Terrence “Roter” Rotering, a retired Air Force weapons systems officer who flew as a backseater in the F-15E and previously in the F-111, describing demanding training, extreme low-level terrain-following flights, and a dangerous incident dropping through a stack of F-111s. Rotering explains how he began writing to inspire his children, ultimately creating a 10-book, 6,000+ page connected universe spanning fantasy, sci-fi, time tunnels, wormholes, multiverse “wheels,” and spiritual warfare themes. He outlines his voice-to-text writing process, use of Gemini AI for continuity and reference (not for writing), and discusses a recurring AI antagonist character, “Blok.” The conversation touches on UFO speculation, Hollywood adaptation concerns, personal “God wink” coincidences, and he credits his wife Theresa for her support while sharing where to find his books and site. 00:00 UFOs And AI Tease 00:39 Meet The Guest 01:18 Life As A WSO 03:08 Low Level Flying Stories 06:41 Training Reality Check 08:32 Why He Started Writing 11:46 Voice Notes Writing Process 13:57 Building A Linked Universe 17:51 Continuity Checks With AI 25:40 Spiritual Themes And God Winks 29:33 Favorite Character Blok 33:47 UFOs Time Travel Theories 35:20 Reading From Forever 38:04 Hollywood Adaptation Talk 39:49 Retirement Mission Writing Sprint 42:21 Real Stories In The Backmatter 43:31 Seven Wheels Return To Earth 45:01 Worldbuilding With Wheel Stones 49:10 Science Grounded Time Travel 53:38 Writing Lessons And Hope 57:19 Cold War F-111 Freefall 01:05:13 War Deterrence And Human Nature 01:08:41 John 316 God Winks 01:13:37 Shout Outs And Marriage 01:17:38 Where To Find The Books 01:20:26 Final Sign Off Want to be a guest on Space Tomatoes?

    Cathy Nesbitt - Worms in the Kitchen, Laughter Yoga, and Educational Silliness S2-EP20

    LX and Havok welcome the unstoppable Cathy Nesbitt founder of Cathy’s Crawly Composter (24 years selling worms by the pound!), Cathy’s Sprouts, and Cathy’s Laughter Club to the Space Tomatoes Podcast. What started as a “Toronto landfill just exploded and we’re shipping garbage to Michigan in a thousand trucks a week” panic became the ultimate indoor composting empire. Cathy reveals how red wiggler worms (yep, five hearts each) turn your kitchen scraps into “black gold” in a Rubbermaid bin even if you live in a condo. Hear the legendary school workshop tales: over 100,000 kids, squealing worm hugs, one brave (or peer-pressured) student who actually ate a worm on a countdown, and the time the boys tried sticking worms to the bathroom ceiling like spaghetti. Plus: why sprouts are your countertop superfood secret, how laughter yoga floods you with happy hormones (and why it feels super awkward the first time), and why Cathy once considered starting a dating site for “you got worms, I got worms” singles. Practical, hilarious, and weirdly inspiring this episode proves sustainability can be fun, regenerative, and done from your apartment. If you’ve ever said “eww, worms in the house,” Cathy’s got your number (and a comeback). Drop a comment: Would YOU let worms move in?
