060: Design and Tech in Magic with Heather Freeman
Join us in a special conversation with @HeatherFreeman about designing for digital divination, the technology of magic, and how her perspective has shaped the creation of her podcast Magic in the United States.
Season 3 of Magic in the United States premieres November 12.
Magic in the United States: www.magicintheunitedstates.com/
Mosaic Divination: mosaicdivination.com
Big questions:
- What music best signifies you in a podcast? 🔉 (07:22)
- Is OOUX a divination system? 👩🏾‍🎨 (16:04)
Heather Freeman has been fascinated by magic, witchcraft, religion, and spirituality since a kid. In 2020, Freeman created the movie-turned-podcast series Familiar Shapes about the early modern English witch trials and bots on social media. In Magic, she turns her sights towards her own home and time travels to explore some of America’s most riveting - and at times devastating - stories of magic, spirituality, religion, and the occult.
Tres Henry and Jake Zukowski are just Tres and Jake. 🤷🏽‍♀️

How did a video entitled "(null)" get us so many views?
มุมมอง 49หลายเดือนก่อน
Most of the Saturday Demo videos for Cosmic Plumbing get 40-50 views when I promote them. How then did a video called "(null)" get 300% more views in a single day? Did the strange title create weirdness in the TH-cam algorithm? Would anyone else be willing to name an episode "(null)" and see if they also get exceptional results?

What causes madness in man? Could it be the insatiable yearning for the unattainable, the ceaseless chase of shadows that dance just beyond his grasp? Perhaps it is the silent whispers of the night-the haunting echoes of forgotten dreams-that stir the depths of his soul. Could it be the tempest of emotions raging within, a storm tossing him upon waves of despair and elation? Or is it just an ar...

    You two may be the only two actual employees of your company right now, but I believe a bone of recognition should be thrown to your volunteer researcher. I did appreciate the shout out concerning your over use of, " to be perfectly clear" though which you then ignored and chose "to be clear". It is a work in progress. I enjoyed how focused this episode was. But, "to be perfectly clear", I did miss some of the randomness of other episodes.

    For those of us who are not hard core into astrology, but would like to learn a little more; Will the Anki cards for planet learning be available for purchase in an independent hard copy or digital product at any time?

    • @CosmicPlumbing
      @CosmicPlumbing ปีที่แล้ว

      Great question. No plans on that yet, but if there is demand, we would be fools not to design this for you.

  • @CH-410
    @CH-410 ปีที่แล้ว

    Do you have an estimated time frame for when this product will be completed?

    • @CosmicPlumbing
      @CosmicPlumbing ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing yet, but we will definitely let you know when we're getting close.
