Welcome to Roon Soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the paranormal.

My name is Gordon and I shall be your host.

Can you believe it's been half a year since we spoke to the holder of the Roon soup

astrology chair which is an unpaid position, Austin Coppick.

I do so look forward to these catch-ups.

They're an opportunity to reflect and take stock and reposition

Yes and no, right? It's one of those cases where there's been so much that's happened

that it's kept things moving really quickly. It's always the next thing and when I don't know our

experience of time is going like that it seems like it takes no time at all but you know in looking back and as I did before this

podcast and thinking about what's happened and how to categorize that and

list that it seems like there's an astonishing plethora of events large and small, some more easily sorted than others.

Yes, I believe I mentioned on a higher side chat that there's been some sort of accidental rigor or a change in perspective in kind of concentrating

parapolitical and geopolitical conversation that I publish weekly as a newsletter

in newsletter format rather than on the blog because I will get

to Friday morning when I sit down to write it and look back over the week and go,

seriously it's been seven days.

And which thing do I pick?
