Madame Askew and the Grand Arbiter are a hostess and host with the most . . . steampunk!

Teapot races. Tea Scouts. Compliment duels. Historical sewing challenges. And that doesn't even begin to pin these two down.

For instance, I met them as the Official Steampunk Ambassadors to the Gallactic Steampunk Federation at Wild Wild West Con in Tucson, Arizona.

Dankaert Lexicon is a character my guest Bonsart Bokel assumes in hundreds of videos about retrofuturism and steampunk communities, books, games, and much more.

His "Steampunk Beginner's Guide" playlist may be of particular interest.

He also runs two themed troupes for festivals and offers a bunch of insight about that. Great for storytellers of all kinds!

Note: I refer to England when speaking about the new Minister of Loneliness but I should have referred to the UK! Thanks.

Sarena Ulibarri has written dozens of short stories that have been published in prominent science fiction magazines and anthologies.

In this interview, we chat about solarpunk, ecopunk, and all kinds of futuristic optimism you won't want to miss!

I loved hearing Sarena's definition of what makes solarpunk unique and she makes a lot of great points about this fringe but growing punk genre, which is part of a larger lifestyle movement.
