Starshot

Broadmoor. A neighborhood in Shreveport, Louisiana. A place full of many sights and wonders. A twig from Yggdrasil growing in AC Steere Park. A lonely old man hosting an intergalactic radio show. A gyro shop run by minor Greek gods. The house where Elvis lived after he faked his death. Even the actual Plymouth Rock itself. All these things and more can be found on a brief walk around Broadmoor.Performed by Michael Wilhelm.Check out Michael’s show The TEMP: https://soundcloud.com/user-655226860-418187210Transcript: https://docs.google.com/document/d/13QYjZrrvQJLUJDqsKWSm4nyJ9sJBaHDQ1SQJ3ge_Ikg/edit?usp=drivesdkOpening and Closing Music: Desert City by Kevin MacLeodhttps://incompetech.com/music/royalty-free/index.html?isrc=USUAN1100564&Search=SearchRecord Scratch provided by Freesound.org: https://freesound.org/people/luffy/sounds/3536/Additional sounds provided by Apple Loops, Epidemic Sounds, and Jason SteeleAdditional Music:Forever Free by Philip AyersTaste of New Orleans by Golden Age RadioNew Orleans Diner by Sight of WondersIt’s My Day, It’s Friday by Johan GlössnerU.S. Employment Service by Harley Rain

What if Buddhism, rather than Christianity, had become the dominant religion of Europe? Let’s us explore a folktale from such a world. A world where Buddhist temples in Scandinavia and Frankland also host images of gods such as Thor, Odin, and even Loki. We shall hear the story of a monk called Ketil, and how he helped spread Buddhism to Northern Europe. But more than that, he also drew the attention of the gods of Asgard themselves.
