Made In Our Image (Circa S1, Episode 6)

We live in an age where science fiction dominates every area of entertainment: Star Wars, Blade Runner, Spider-Man and The Avengers, everyone wants a money making giant that is science fiction. But where did it come from? 1816 was the year it snowed during summer. The cause? The eruption of Mount Tambora in Indonesia, the largest recorded volcanic eruption. Halfway around the world, this geological event would help a young woman write the ancestor of all science fiction, a little story about a man and his supernatural creation. Circa is written and recorded by Zac Lovelace, and produced by The Bento Block. Learn more about circa at TheBentoBlock.com/Circapodcast Support Circa on Patreon: Patreon.com/CircaPodcast
