Omnis: Last Man of Earth with Derrick Howard

1/29/2024
In this edition of AI, we are joined by attorney, poet, and author, Professor Derrick Howard. We have the privilege of discussing Derrick's new book, Omnis: Last of Earth. It was a wonderful conversation about the book that led deeper into discussion about human history, society, culture, philosophy, and of course, the weird. If you love Science Fiction, Futuristic Dystopian, kung-fu, action, thriller, with all kinds of twists and turns, this is the book for you. An informative blurb and where you can buy the book will be listed below. Y'all will not regret purchasing this book, diving into it, and having it on your shelves to revisit anytime. "On Intergalactic Independence Day Earth 2050, Sledge, a reluctant, blind hero, is dragged, kicking, and screaming into a gallant struggle for survival just like you. With only a walking stick and grit as aid, he finds himself in a dystopic universe pitted against celestial beings exploiting the confluence of apex AI, cancer cultures, perpetual acts of genocide, and humankind's irrepressible self-indulgence to exterminate humans for past misdeeds and future crimes. Like you, fate demands Sledge concede if freedom is best achieved by accepting the destiny he shares with all other humans or by continuing to evade it with precious little in hand. This epic, action-packed, Afrofuturistic, sci-fi novel, Omnis: Last Man of Earth, sets forth Sledge's journey as he tangles with celestials, transhumans, aliens, drones, and sentients while beings throughout the universe gather around holoprojectors to wager on Earth's destruction. Will you be a spectator in your self-destruction or a participant in your survival? Read on ... The clock is ticking. Tick, tick, tick ...! What are you going to do?" https://www.amazon.com/Omnis-Last-Earth-Derrick-Howard/dp/B0CQD54ZRJ Support the Show.

Return to Shadow Appalachia *SWAPCAST* with The Sword and Staff Podcast, The BUMP Podcast, and Dark Holler Studios

12/8/2023
This is the latest episode of the reborn Order of the Sword and Staff podcast, wherein the Shadow Appalachia crew talk spiritual warfare, the delay in Shadow Appalachia, share individual strange encounters since standing on the head of the Logan County Serpent Mound a year ago, plans going forward and talk Southern Death Cult symbolism and mythology that seems to be reoccurring among each of us as a number of odd synchronicities. We hadn't talked about many of these things prior as they were happening to each of us, and so connections are made in real-time as we're figuring it out and sharing experiences that will likely shape the direction of Shadow Appalachia, which resumes shooting in March of 24.

A Light Piercing THE SHAPE OF SHADOWS with Tony Merkel

10/19/2023
In this edition of AI we welcome the host of The Confessionals Podcast, CEO of Merkel Media, Tony Merkel. Tony came on to discuss his most recent film, The Shape of Shadows, along with past films and some projects that are coming in the near future. This conversation went much deeper than just talking about documentaries though. Tony begins by rehashing his encounter with a Satanist that sent him into a dark place for awhile. We recover from that though and go on to have a fantastic discussion about spirituality, faith, callings on our lives, and how we believe that God is putting people of His choosing in the places they need to be for a time such as now to expose the real darkness that is at play in the world. This was a really light hearted conversation that will allow you Hillfolk to see Tony expressing a lot of his thoughts and viewpoints instead of just hearing him listen to others. Tony is a great friend and has been a tremendous help to us in growing our show, so it was a real pleasure having him on.
