Do you have a favorite? Not meant to, but mostly the unloved ones, the unvisited ones, the cases that get dusty and ignored.

All the broken and shunned creatures.

Someone's got to care for them.

Who shall it be if not us?

Yes. Welcome to Roon soup, a weekly podcast about magic, culture and the very best new and old ideas for living in this world, coming to you from 43 degrees south on a small farm in deepest Tasmania. My name is Gordon and I shall be your

host. This week, after what seemed like both the shortest and longest six months of our lives,

Austinmas rolls around once more. That's right, it is time for our-eely astrological forecast episode.

Now, as is our way, this was recorded live over Zoom, with a Q&A at the end for the members and

patrons who joined us. So if you want to watch this episode rather than listen to it, jump on over to YouTube.

Now the reason I mentioned that is we had a lot of technical gremlins with this one, and so the audio you are about to listen to is ripped

straight from the live stream video which means you'll hear the times I couldn't hear

Austin and then me coming and going from the Zoom room so I could and then the times

Austin had to do the same and you know honestly it's pretty funny in retrospect

but that's what you will be hearing so I went with the audio from the live stream video because there are moments when it's either just

Austin or I in the room and I wanted to keep them in there. Anyway, it's a great show despite the technical challenges

and with some excellent questions at the end and definitely worth your time, you know, given how challenging the conditions are about to get.

Enjoy, question mark.

All right, Austin.

Hey.

How you doing?

I'm all right.

Yeah.
