Browncoats and Geek musicians Marc Gunn and Mikey Mason rewatch episodes of Firefly to find themes and inspiration for crafting songs inspired by Joss Whedon's cult classic TV series.

Welcome to In the 'Verse. We love writing songs about Firefly. So we're gonna podcast how we write songs. Browncoats are creative people. So we want you involved in the creative process.

Please help us to #KeepFireflyFlyin by sharing this podcast with your fellow Browncoats!

Oct 2, 2021

In the ‘Verse is back with a brand new season. We’re gonna write songs inspired by other shows and movies. Plus, we will take an in depth look at the Big Damn movie. Join us as we talk about Season 2.

TALKING ABOUT SEASON 2

We're gonna write songs inspired by some of our other fandoms. We'll start with the episode "Blink" from the TV show Doctor Who. We will announce each episode we plan to explore as we go.

We also plan to watch the Rankin & Bass animated cartoon The Hobbit, an episode of The Mandalorian, more Doctor Who episodes, an episode of the Dungeons & Dragons cartoon from the 80s, an episode of Peaky Blinders and Ripper Street. Plus, we will write a song inspired by the graphic novel, Shepherd's Tale, about Shepherd Book and we will write a song about the Big Damn Movie, Serenity.

We would love your help picking more episodes from some of these shows. If you have one that you think we should watch, drop us an email.
