The Sky Pool
Tonight, for our monthly Snoozecast+deluxe bonus episode we’ll read “The Sky Pool”.
When a broken air conditioner leads Theo and Mira to spend the evening on the rooftop of their college, a passing remark sparks a conversation about an old mystery—one that stretches across lost manuscripts, whispered folklore, and the vanished notes of a long-forgotten scholar.
The Sky Pool is an example of a frame story, specifically a nested story where one tale leads into another, each revealing a new layer of the legend. Some popular examples of frame stories include One Thousand and One Nights and The Turn of the Screw.

Spandex Jackets (One For Everyone)
Tonight, we’ll read a Snoozecast original, “Spandex Jackets (One for Everyone).” Listeners who are fans of Steely Dan may be aware that the title is a reference to Donald Fagen’s 1982 track “I.G.Y. (What a Beautiful World)”. The story itself draws inspiration from the song which paints a retro-futuristic dream of undersea rails, solar-powered cities and the promise of a gloriously bright tomorrow.
The acronym in the song title I.G.Y. references the “International Geophysical Year” a real life global scientific project that ran from July 1, 1957 to December 31st 1958. It brought together scientists from 67 nations to collaborate on studying Earth’s geophysical properties, including its atmosphere, oceans, and polar regions. IGY marked significant advancements in space research, such as the launch of the first artificial satellites (Sputnik by the Soviet Union and Explorer by the United States). Its spirit of international cooperation laid the groundwork for many subsequent collaborative scientific endeavors.
