What's Coming in 2024 from The Cosmic Companion!
A new year offers a new season of The Cosmic Companion, short films, music, art, and more!
Hello everyone!
We’re thrilled to announce the eighth season of our show, which will continue on (most) every Saturday. Our mission is to make science fun and accessible, and we’re committed to building bridges to great science education. We’re excited to continue our weekly interviews with scientists, authors, and developers from around the globe.
But that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t have (even more) fun doing it!
Since our last episode, we’ve more than doubled our number of puppets. Yes, you heard it right - we now have more puppets! They’re a fun and engaging way to bring science to life, and we can’t wait for you to see them in action.
We are also embracing generative artificial intelligence in education and entertainment. These technologies could represent the greatest advance in filmmaking since the advent of the movie camera.
In addition to our regular episodes, we’re also producing short films. Our work has been recognized at awards and film festivals worldwide, and we’re incredibly grateful for your support.
Our upcoming short film, “The AI Man (or, a Buster and Sally Meet-Cute Redux),” is a comedy short that’s a three-minute redux of the 1928 film, The Cameraman, which entered public domain at the beginning of 2024. We’re excited to announce that this film will be released to subscribers soon.
But that’s not all. We’re also hard at work on our upcoming feature-length film, “Gaia Rising.” This film tells the tale of three disparate people brought together against the backdrop of a world thrown into peril by catastrophic climate change. It’s a story we’re passionate about telling, and we’re eager to share it with you.
Finally, we’re working on improving the consistency of our newsletter delivery. We know that between updates to the mail system and our penchant for trying new things, things can sometimes get a bit chaotic. But don’t worry - we’re on it!
Thank you for being a part of The Cosmic Companion community. We’re looking forward to an exciting year ahead!
We are also trying to add extras, outtakes, and extra fun for our VIP subscribers. VIP subscriptions start at just $5/month or $50/year. You folks really make this possible - thanks so much!
Clear skies!
James
