Caretaking is difficult. Good on you for caring for your dad. Glad the show helped you get through that, Matt!
Love the podcast. I’m always in awe of someone with so much talent in so many different ways. I look forward to the rest of desert skies and everything else you go on to make in the future. I also find it very funny that in any given day I could be a Mac or a Tendy. I can relate to them both! Thank you for what you do and good luck in all your future endeavors.

I too can relate to them both! And Nonny, and Corson, and...all of them. Well, hopefully not one particular character in Chapter 17.
Thanks, so much for the message Sherm!
By far the fastest I've ever binged a podcast. Love the show, and I look forward to whatever else you (Jared) plan to create in the future.
Love from Alaska 🥶🌨☃️

I knew that if I googled Delta Junction I was going to see photos of a beautiful place! Love to Alaska and thank you so much for the kind words!
Headed towards the next sphere with a lighter heart, a full thermos, and a microwavable burrito or three. 5 stars, would transcend again.
P.s
Jared Carter, thank you for the quiet moments, the strange ones, and the ones that made me feel a little less alone on my own journey across the spheres.

Thanks so much for the message, Alina. It's my pleasure to create world that makes the journey a little lighter. Hope all is well in Auckland!
Found this treasure of a podcast from 7 lamb productions and has brought tears and laughter to me non stop . Chapter 15 The one thing missing has been one of my all time favorite . I relate to Nico so much ,after loosing my mom 27 yrs ago in a car accident I was always mad at my self blaming myself and feeling that I didn't deserve to live my life to the fulliest. This Episode has truly helped me forgive my self . Thank you so much for such an amazing podcast.

Hi Luis! I'm so sorry about your experience and thankful that the show has helped in some way free you from being unable to forgive yourself, something your mom would absolutely want you to do. Appreciate you and thankful to have you as a listener
I came to here expecting maybe some comedic relief... instead I received valuable life lessons on grief, friendship, loss and life. Oh and still comedy somehow! Lol. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

You're so welcome and thank you for all the kind words!
Hey Desert Skies crew,
I started listening to yall for something to pass the time at work. Expecting something funny, and mindless. What I found instead was life lessons, that have 100% helped me get through some of my own crap that I've been holding onto. Nonny, you have the best outlook on the afterlife, and I am 100% confident in that. Do not stop doing what youre doing. Ive laughed, I've cried, I've contemplated and I've let things go and feel way lighter.

Cody, so glad to know that the show has made you feel lighter and I hope to continue making it far into the future!
I told someone the other day that I could help them with their computer because I'm a certified computer technician (20 year old cert that means nothing today). They looked at me with this look of "Really? Another random thing you do" and I said "Yeah, I can do everything"
And then I realized that I'm Nonny
All I really can say is thank you for this story. It was so much of what I needed to hear at the right time. I am excited to see what comes next.

Thanks so much, Elden. I'm so glad the show found you at the right time!
Hello Desertskies! I wanted to stop by the website to thank you for the amazing podcast. I lost my mom to cancer last month and have found your podcast incredibly cathartic while dealing with my grief. The audio design is soothing, the characters delightful, and the story heartfelt. I look forward to listening everyday after work and hope to listen in on more adventures of Mac, The Attendant, and C.A.S.H for years to come.

Dang, Nico (A favorite name by the way) I'm so sorry for not getting to this sooner. I really let these slip. I'm so so sorry to hear about the recent passing of your mom to cancer. Thankful to know that the show's helped you with processing that grief. There a lot more on the way, friend
Just finished listening to Burden of the Abada Boy, really enjoyed the simplicity of those 3 situations and the lessons that everyone can take, use and benefit from in daily life, many thanks
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
Thank you, Mark! I really appreciate that! I...never hear anything about Burden of the Abda Boy, which is a shame because I loved that episode. Maybe Australians just get me (Which would explain why I'm obsessed with Sam Campbell)
This podcast has really changed my life. It helped me at times I really needed it, and made me laugh so hard. Nonny is my favorite character. She's so sweet, and funny, but she knows how to say no, which is a thing I'm still struggling to learn. I appreciate all the hard work you do to do all of the voices and write such beautiful stories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. From a fellow writer, hoping to make something that helps people like you.

Thank you so much, Maddie! I'm sorry I didn't get back to you sooner.
I love when people find Nonny as a positive role model when it comes to setting boundaries because it's a skillset almost none of us are born with, and one that I get the feeling she learned through her own challenges. She's my creation but also my inspiration at times.
Now get out there and write something that's going to change somebody's world!
My friend from work told me about this and I can't stop listening! My mom passed almost 2 years ago and this is such a breath of fresh air and I love hearing about this world that I have discovered! Thank you so much!!!
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
I think I just responded to someone from your work! (Arlo?) Sorry to hear about the passing of your mom but glad to hear that you've enjoyed the show and have found it refreshing. Kudos!
I am on my 3rd/ 4th relisten of the podcast (I count listening to the commentaries as listening to the show), and I cannot get enough. This is only media that truly calms my mind and body, and I can truly just sit and listen to it. I also just got my friend into it, and she loves it.
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
Arlo!!! Thanks so much for sharing the show with your friend, and I'm super impressed with the number of relistens. My hope is to make that more and more difficult to do (Through making a bunch more episodes, not making them hard to listen to 😉)
I live in the High Desert and I’m pretty sure I’ve seen that Gas Station. Maybe one day I’ll stop in and have a chat with whoever…. whatever is there.
Thanks for a great show!
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
You absolutely should stop in. You never know who you might meet and what you might encounter. Gas stations are pretty darn magic
You are in my top 3 of podcasts, this is great. I’m re listening to it for a uhhh second or third time, and got my mom to listen to it. Amazing.
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
That's so awesome! You've relistened more than me! (I...hate relistening. Not cause I don't like the show but because it makes me cringe lol). That's awesome that you converted your mom to a Skylarkian. She's lucky to have you. Keep burnin' bright, Ember!
I love this podcast! Listening to the adventures of Mac, Tendy, and friends makes my job so much more enjoyable. (I wash dishes). Corson is high-key my favorite character, and such a vibe. I'll play a game of Settlers of Corson(?) with him any day.
Thank the Prime Mover I stumbled upon Desert Skies.

Hi, Ceph! Thanks for your patience while I dealt with life for a while.
Dishwashing. I've done it. It is the most therapeutic underthanked job in the world, and so important. As a former chef I can't tell you the difference a good dishwasher makes. If you want something fun to read, I recommend "Dishwasher: One Man's Quest to Wash Dishes in All Fifty States". It's fascinating.
And I love that you love Corson. I love him too! Can't say I appreciate games as much as he does, but I appreciate how much he appreciates them
I discovered your podcast when you did a guest appearance on Tower 4. I became immediately obsessed. Thank you for handling hard topics with such care and grace while still adding humor to it. My children called their grandmother Nani and it brings me so much joy to see how your Nani is such a force of love.
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
This is so cool. Glad Tower 4 pointed you my way. And that's adorable about the kids and their grandmother. I called mine Nanny (which I got from Muppet Babies as a small child), and that was part of what inspired it!
Sorry for the late response!
Hi! I've absolutely fallen in love with Desert Skies and I just wanted to say thank you so much for making such a funny, emotional and all around incredible podcast. It always finds me when i need it, no matter what i need is. What you do is incredible, so please don't stop (unless if you need a break then stop when necessary) <3
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
Caroline! Sorry for the late reply
I really appreciate the kind words and I'm glad to be back from an unplanned break. Can't wait to get out to NYC for another live show someday!
I have been listening to desert skies back when the first season was released. I found it quickly became one of my favourites. I loved the cosmology and its wacky weirdness. Always keeping you on your toes.
After a while, I decided to show it to my daughter. I had shown her a few podcasts before and she never really seemed to retain anything or follow what was occuring.
That is to say before she listened to desert skies. After a few nights she started quoting the show and recalling events that even i had forgotten.
There is something truely special about this audio fiction. The characters feel so real and engauging. Listening to the show makes it feel like you have been dropped into a living universe than a story.
The show breaks the mold along with your heart.

So sorry for not responding sooner to this sooner, Wolfgang (slowly working my way through a lot of guestbook signings). Obviously, you and I have gotten to know each other a bit since you shared this and I'm thrilled to know how much the show has meant to your daughter.
I didn’t know I could enjoy a podcast some much, it brings me so much joy and I can’t wait to hear what will happen nexts.i love how you are able to talk about dark topics and still manage to end on a happy note. All this to say you have inspired me in my own journey of writing and don’t ever stop doing what you love and don’t forget to take your own advice!!!
Ps. Just an idea could there be and astral plane of mushrooms and dragons like mushrooms as tall as trees and dragons of different size and you were able to stop by and have tea with them or something there could also be a a sphere mover dragon named Shroomie (the mushrooms are just for looking
and admiring only nothing else)❤
Admin Reply by: The Attendant
I am SO glad to hear that the show has inspired your writing! And the idea for your Sphere sounds super fun. Not sure if you ever write fan fiction but that would be a cool one to read!
