After a longer break than I had anticipated it is finally time for the next episode of the Non-Euclidean Æthercast. This one is on the double-bladed side of things. The first part is a bit of a rant about being a geek and a teacher and how pupils perceive you …

In times like these, when the majority of billionaires use their money to bribe invest into the careers of politicians, especially if those billionaires are connected to the coal, gas, and oil industries and do not give a damn of what happens after they have lived out their lives, it …

An unbroken line of four years and four podcast episodes (small hurray)! I went to the RPC in Cologne four the fourths time this year and again, it was epic! This time I think I also broke my personal record of legwork on a convention, since I walked around for …

Today’s Non-Euclidean Æthercast is a happy rant about my experiences as a teacher when you teach children who are also gamers and cosplayers. All in all it is a win-win: Pupils are more attentive if they like a teacher and a teacher sharing their hobbies is (as far as my …

In today’s episode of the Non-Euclidean Æthercast I have the great pleasure of chatting with one of my oldest international contacts in the Steampunk scene: Jo Lima from Portugal. Since we have known each other for quite a while, a lot has happened and Jo is no longer active in …

This has been a long time coming and I am actually a little bit confused about why it did not happen earlier, but here it is: I have the great pleasure of welcoming my favourite contemporary author, Lavie Tidhar, for an interview and chat about a lot of things in …

A few weeks back I already posted the trailer of the graphic novel series Rayven Choi, featuring the eponymous super heroine who is out to hunt the people who killed her parents. Sounds a bit like Batman, but it is not. Obviously, the hero is a lady and Rayven Choi …

It happens rarely I post something openly political, this time it has to be different. Because of recent events in the USA I had to voice my views on the matter and also point out a few things we can all enjoy together. Because we are still on the same planet together! Anyway, please listen the podcast, share it and then enjoy the awesome music below (and get some food you can enjoy together with a neighbour with a different background than yours). These are two sources for the info in my podcast: Mike Pence’s views (abortion and others)   Donald Trump and nuclear weapons   EDIT: I forgot, a link concerning the racist violent incidents after Trump’s election.   And now for some better stuff from the happy part of the podcast, here is some great arabian Heavy Metal And here is some Iranian Death Metal!

A few weeks back I already hinted at me delving into the matter of STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Mathematics) versus STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) as an educational paradigm. I have since done some research whcih has gone into the podcast, so please, have a listen! Special thanks to my friend and now Patron Bonsart Bokel of Radio Retrofuture. Please consider becoming his patron, he is really putting an incredible amount of work into his channel.   And now for some links: STEM vs STEAM (the original article Bonsart sent to me) Brian Dunning’s view of the matter Using music to teach arithmetics Music related concepts to teach high-school maths (research paper) And this is Professor Harald Lesch, talking about his views regarding education and which subjects to focus on, and he is clearly in favour of focusing on sports and the arts. The video is in German:

Today I have the great pleasure of having Bonsart Bokel, host of the Radio Retrofuture Youtube channel (please subscribe!) as my guest on the Non-Euclidean Æthercast. We cover a lot of ground during the course of the podcast, from Medieval reenactment, to retrofuturistic reenactment, yes this actually works. Bonsart has founded the RAG-TAG: Regiment Anachronistische Grenadiers, check them out. RAG-TAG are actually supposed to be the goons and evil henchmen, but like so many of the „evil guys“, the 501st Legion is the best example, I think, they do some really great stuff, in their case some „Stormtrooper courses“ for children, with nerf guns and other fun-enhancers. But I am not going to spoil the podcast here, just tease it. Before I forget, check out here for interview on the Fedora Chronicles with Bonsart that gets mentioned on a number of occasions during our chat. And just some shameless promotion: Bonsart and I are both at Patreon and would of course love some support, so, if you have some change to spare: Metapunk on Patreon Radio Retrofuture on Patreon
