Headless bodies writhe about, and we think about agriculture.
View Details
Despite this chapter being called The Headless Humans, the grossness of this passage took me off guard. Be warned!
View Details
Today, on a very special episode, we discuss aphantasia.
Aphantasia is the inabilitiy to voluntarily create mental images. I draw on all my skills as an aphantasiac to convert Edgar Rice Burrough's words into... more words.
View Details
We explore the audio environment.
We also think about my reading of sentences.
View Details
This is either an update about Tara of Helium on her flier, or a five-minute silent experience.
View Details
We all agreed that Mindful Moments of Mars is a wonderful thing. Then, we contemplate nature.
View Details
Boom, boom, boom, boom (I want you in Barsoom).

Djor Kantos speaks for the first time.
View Details
Mindfulness practice takes practice. So does reading.
Regardless, the story powers on and Tara and Gahan might be about to dance!
View Details
Gahan describes his crazy homeland.
In this episode I repeatedly referred to Gathol as Gathor. I hope that didn't cause any blorpok. Blorpok is a Barsoomian word that means mild confusion.
View Details
Gahan takes us on a whirlwind tour of Gathol.
This weekend, why not think more about Gathol and its honeycomb of diamond mines? Maybe that would be a nice weekend activity!
View Details
Gahan, Jed of Gathol speaks on an ersite bench.
Ersite is a type of stone that Edgar Rice Burroughs made up for these stories. I hope this new type of stone draws you even further into this immersive experience.

Gahan, Jed of Gathol wears fancy clothes and words are hard.

Thus ends another week of Mindful Moments of Mars. Have a nice weekend!
View Details
We are almost ready to begin our utterly Barsoomian tale.
Our narrator explains what perspective we'll have for the story.
View Details
In our second outdoor episode, we learn more about the Carter/Thoris family.
John Carter explains where he priorities lie, and we think about eggs.
View Details
John Carter reveals the two reasons for his visit.
This is our first episode recorded outdoors. I hope you like the sound of nature and cars.
View Details
Something happens, and we have Kar Komak, the bowman of Lothar, to thank for it.
View Details
After some initial giggles, we dig into the substance of today's reading.
We learn about John Carter's agelessness, but we don't dwell on it because it isn't something that will come up often.
View Details
The narrator is joined by John Carter and this affords us all a moment of peaceful contemplation.
View Details
We start reading The Chessmen of Mars by Edgar Rice Burroughs. We quickly find ourselves in the midst of a very long sentence.
