Marsification: A tale of planetary grief
A Therapist Walks Into a Bar isn't quite back but I'm doing a little resurrection in order to share something very special that I think you'll like - Marsification: A tale of planetary grief. Marsification was created and written by sound artist, musician, and psychotherapist Lily Sloane and writer, teacher, bodyworker and facilitator Zara Zimbardo. Lily and Zara live in the San Francisco Bay Area, on unceded Ohlone land. All characters are voiced by Lily and Zara, and Chelsea Kigano, who also made some creative contributions to the story. Audio production, music and sounds by Lily Cover art by Lily With editorial support from Keisha TK Dutes and sound consultation from Adriene Lilly. Definitions used throughout this project are from The Bureau of Linguistical Reality, “a dictionary for the present future.” The exception is "solastalgia," which was coined by Glen Albrecht. Words coined by Ranu Mukherjee, Alicia Escott, Heidi Quante, Anthony Discenza, Paul Hassig, Patrick Reinsborough and Zara Zimbardo. “Whitey On Mars” was written as an homage to American jazz poet Gil Scott-Heron’s 1970 iconic spoken word song, “Whitey on the Moon”, a year after the Apollo moon landing. We would like to thank so many friends and creative colleagues who have listened to us talk endlessly about this project and provided invaluable feedback along the way: Alec MacLeod, Martin Austwick, Charlotte María Sáenz, Ben Ward, Jessa Brie Moreno, Sara Brooke Curtis, Ariel Waldman, Heidi Quante, Patricia Zambrano-Rojas, Patrick Reinsborough, Lisa Denenmark, and Jennifer Benorden. We also want to thank the writers, scientists, thinkers, activists, and creators who helped inspire and educate us and show us what it means to keep returning to Earth while dreaming of the stars.

Lily Isn't Gonna Ghost (Finále)
Dearly Beloved, we are gathered here today to talk about the end. It’s the end of the third season of this podcast. A season full of stories about what it’s like to be living in these minds and bodies. But it’s also the final episode of this show. I want to quickly add, before you have a chance to react, “at least for now!” I want to imply the show could come back to make this ending feel like not a big deal. But let’s not do that. Let’s just take a moment to let it be. This is the end of the show. Afterall, resurrection fantasies are another defense against loss. As much as I want to just ghost on this ending, I'm not going to. So in this episode, I go back to some of the people who've been on the show before and talk about endings and why acknowledging them is important. And I take this chance to say goodbye to you and to the podcast. Credits: Writer/Producer - Lily Sloane Sound Designer and Composer - Lily Sloane Story Editor - Emily Shaw [emilyshawcreates.com] Thank you Dani Scoville, Molly Merson, Jessica Brown, Kip Williams, Dusty Porn, and Al Anzola for taking part in this funeral...I mean, episode.

An Untakebackable Choice
When it comes to making babies, it can often feel like there are only 2 choices and you have to feel 100% happy with your choice once you’ve made it. Oh, and also, no matter what choice you make, people will judge you. While I grapple with my own uncertain future, Nuala has made a decision that doesn't fit neatly into any category. The choice to have children is not quite like other choices in life because it’s pretty untakebackable. But like many other choices, saying yes to one thing and no to another can be full of complicated feelings. - Featured Guest - Nuala Sawyer lives in San Francisco with her partner Bryce, dog Kazu, and cat Suki. She's a reporter for SF Weekly and freelance writer. You can find her at www.nualawrites.com and on Twitter @TheBestNuala. - Credits - Producer: Lily Sloane Story Editor: Emily Shaw Original Music & Sound Design: Lily Sloane Episode Image: Qairin Qusyairi Ooi by Mohd Fazlin Mohd Effendy Ooi (used under creative commons) To learn more visit www.atherapistwalksintoabar.com.
