The Pantheon

The Pantheon Podcast artwork

Where gods go to die. The Pantheon is a collection of my own writings, transcribed into audio format. These are meant primarily to entertain, of course, but also to help the people of today carve some light out of the dark time we call the present. Episodes will likely have many interlinking aspects, but most should be able to be viewed standalone without too much confusion. Series, such as "The Pantheon" proper will be marked at the start of their title. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride. Acclaims for The Pantheon: "A bright shriek piercing the staggering chorus of muffled madness." - Brian, some fictional man, not talking about my work. But he worked for the Washington Post, probably.

The Schoolbell Rings (Abyss)

One of the best ways to learn about yourself is to ask someone else whom you can trust about who and what you are. Same with societies, cultures, etc. We lose insight to hubris all the time. That being said, perhaps we can get even greater insight about ourselves not from our friends, but from our greatest enemies.

Oof. This one's painful. And not just painful in the sense that I've been missing for a month. See, one of the problems here is that if you seek to find ways to make things non-sacred, you can find them. Cynicism, apathy can devour all, even your dreams.Flames can devour dreams too, though. It's a balancing act between the two; the line to walk is far too fine.Melins

Lights Going Out (PSA)

You should have listened to the PSA. I did. That's why I'm still here, behind you. But you're not. Not there. Not in your shell. You should have listened. It meant you no harm. Nor did I. But the other thing...

PSA stands for public service announcement. And that was also a PSA. Usually, you should listen to these things. They're not all that frequent, and usually they're about something you need to be proactive about like boiling water.Of course, this PSA is not about boiling water.

"Eww, that sounds disgusting."That's what you said. I heard you. I'm in the room with you right now. No, don't turn around. That will ruin the surprise.

Stock Markets: The Things That Crashed

You know, it's their favorite thing. They like to do that. Sometimes it means nothing. Sometimes it means everything. Our economy is overly abstracted. Let's be honest. The value of the stock market does not correspond with the health of the economy in as direct a relationship as we are taught to believe. Healthy industries can be wiped out by really, really stupid nonsen

There is nothing more maddening than the burden of the clock. It has given us order and stability, but where has our rights over our own time gone? We know where they went. To the same place everything we had went. To the same god.

The Sandwich That Stunned Hell

It's quite an accomplished sandwich. Or series of sandwiches. Either way, you never expected that much from them, so it's just really nice that they were able to get this far and do so much.

Found Sandwich

The natural character progression of any sandwich when it is lost. I have always detested the idea of hell. I know, I know. Who wouldn't? It is supposed to be despicable. But we see it weaponized here, up above. You must be a certain way or you are damned. But how clearly is that 'certain way' tied to morality, and not just giving yourself the branding of a creed? It

We've all been there. It really stinks to lose something as simple as your lunch. It's terrible. Horrible. Someone must pay.
