Skyline Drive
Skyline Drive is a new serialized podcast by iHeartPodcasts and Kaleidoscope. Podcast exploring what happens when you don’t believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to you.
Why tune in?
The opening line of Skyline Drive's first episode is:
"I don't believe in astrology, but astrology keeps happening to me."
I instantly got hooked.
I don't believe in astrology, but every once in a while, I go into a rabbit hole of astrological charts. Watch astrology-related videos on YouTube. I read about my sign and try to find similarities or things that don't relate to me at all.
I'm a Libra Sun, Sagittarius Moon, and Cancer Rising. Which should make me an indecisive, adventurer with a kind heart?
Astrology is a fun hobby, a tool for learning more about oneself, and a lucrative business. It speaks to people's desire to know the future and has the strength to tap into our deepest insecurities and fears.
The first episode is a bundle full of emotions.
From a conversation with A.J. Jacobs. A person who decided to live a life biblically for 1 year, to sweet and vulnerable discussion with Mangesh's mother on the story of her arranged marriage and what role astrology played there.
Quote, I loved from the first episode: "Astrology is true the same way a poem is true."
Who would love Skyline Drive?
Taking astrology seriously is not serious. You'd be made fun of for having astrology as a hobby or simply for believing in it.
If you are a believer or a curious explorer, you'll feel snug and safe with the stories of people who share their connection with astrology and the mysterious stars.
Mangesh takes us on a valuable journey to figuring out what astrology means to him, his family, his culture, and the people he talks to.
If the first episode indicates something, then the upcoming 7 episodes will be filled with diverse experiences of people who ponder, what's up there in the stars?
Caution: forget your axe at home!
