In Real

Pallas the Librarian interviews Arianne Hunter about her career path as a scientist. Pallas and Arianne also make fluffy foam slime and discuss the books that inspired Arianne, “Don’t Be Such a Scientist: Talking Substance in an Age of Style” by Randy Olson and “Year of Yes” by Shonda Rhimes.

Experience the captivating world of science with Pallas the Librarian in Yes! Science! As Pallas proves science has no boundaries, she interviews a diverse array of individuals thriving in STEM-related careers, unveiling the incredible stories behind their work. From groundbreaking researchers to ingenious engineers, each episode delves into their fascinating journeys and the invaluable contributions they make to society. Through captivating interviews, mesmerizing experiments, and enlightening literary explorations, Yes! Science! is a gateway to the limitless possibilities of STEM, inviting everyone to embrace the wonder of scientific inquiry.

I filmed the first season of Yes! Science! with Pallas in 2019. Last year, I re-edited the show to add graphics, better pacing, segment breaks, and new science facts. This was released exclusively on The Show Starts Now streaming library, and now I’m bringing them to Spielventure. I’ll be releasing more of the revised episodes throughout the summer, so stay tuned!

I traveled the stretch of Route 66 from Arcadia to Bristow with Caitlin from Oklahoma’s Credit Union. This Spielventure episode features POPS, the Arcadia Round Barn, John’s Place, Manvel Avenue Coffee, Destinations, Route 66 Interpretive Center, Route 66 Bowl, and Dude & Dot Mercantile. We spent an entire day visiting sights from the area between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, and there was still more to see, so make this trip a full-day experience.

I’m excited to release the first episode with the new branding style. I’m still figuring out what the next Spielventure episode will be as I’ve been busy with client work. Do expect an episode of “Yes! Science!” and a new Art & Victory to be coming out next.

The first episode of Take A Bite with Phi is now public on the Spielventure YouTube channel!

Cafe Kacao is a family-owned restaurant featuring Guatemalan breakfast, lunch, and brunch. Phi joins Veronica Zelada and Alex del Cid in the kitchen, where she learns how to make pepian de pollo. Then, with Jeff Chanchaleune, owner and chef of Ma Der Lao Kitchen, Phi learns about Lao food.

With The Show Starts Now video library app shut down, I’ll be releasing content from the platform on my YouTube channel throughout the summer. In my process of streamlining my workflow, I am transitioning from Patreon to Spielventure.com, so be sure to sign up there to help support my productions. There are some new perks that I can only do there, such as discounts on merch and access to the sticker club. I’ll still make posts here in the meantime.

The Pivot to Spielventure

By

On May 21, 2024

After celebrating 15 years of producing my local travel show, Uncovering Oklahoma, I’ve decided to rebrand and pivot to streamline my work, allow for new opportunities, and expand my reach. Spielventure takes the versatile German word Spiel, translating to game or play, and then combines it with Adventure. I’ve always been passionate about connecting people to new places, people, and experiences, so this new branding still aligns with my mission. 

With this pivot, I’ve shut down The Show Starts Now streaming video library app. Long story short, I stretched myself out too thin, hoping to get things started to make money and then hire people to keep everything going. However, that didn’t happen, and I want to avoid falling into a sunk-cost problem, hence the streamlined pivot to one show, one handle, and one website. I’ll still do different segments or series – just under one channel now. Now, the videos on the app will be released over time to the Spielventure YouTube channel because I want people to watch them, go to these places, and have these incredible experiences.

The video posted here provides more details about my entrepreneurial journey, the why, and what the future holds. I have a bunch of new content coming out, so please become a supporting member for early access, buy some merchandise, or make a one-time donation. Visit the new website at spielventure.com

Thank you for your support and happy adventures!
