Episode Description

Behind the Broken Sky | Reflections on Horror, Fantasy, and Science Fiction

Twenty episodes in.
A pause between stories.
And a moment to step out from the shadows.

In this special milestone episode of Tales Under A Broken Sky, I take a break from fiction to reflect on the journey so far. I share my thoughts on the podcast, what fantasy, horror, and science fiction mean to me as genres, and why I believe they still matter in a world that often feels stranger than any story.

This also marks the first video episode of the show. It’s rough around the edges, recorded without fancy gear or polished editing, but it felt right for a more personal conversation.

Consider this a quiet fireside chat about storytelling, imagination, and the role speculative fiction plays in helping us understand ourselves.

Thank you for listening, for following along, and for joining me by the hearth.

Regular stories return soon. Until then, thank you for walking in the dark with me.
