The Life Cycle
We have reached the forth season of The Life Cycle! July 21, 2026 sees SEED move into Early Access, and to celebrate we wanted to share a chapter from The Radix, the backstory of SEED. We plan to have a rolling schedule of podcasts going forward, as we continue to talk to experts in science, AI, philisophy as well as game development, as we continue to look at the future of humanity and what it means for SEED - and indeed all of us.
In the third season we bring the podcast right down to earth and get in deep with the things that matter to us all and our collective future. And what better way to do that than to have long, engaged conversations with some brilliant people? We talk food, we talk fertility, we talk about life online and we also visit the site of one of humanity’s most exciting endeavors: the mission to create nuclear fusion here on Earth, and harness the power of the Sun itself! Beginning with a chat with Klang CEO Mundi Vondi, this season promises to deepen our understanding of the life cycle, and just what it is we’re all doing here….

The Radix follows the Seedling Eliza Kessen as she gets involved in a story that is way bigger than anything she could imagine. Encompassing the history of Earth and how humanity managed to reach planet Avesta, its a true epic. It starts in a small, sleepy unihaven settlement called Baltra, just before a dramatic moment sets in motion a series of events that will make history.
Story is by Mundi Vondi and John Holten. Text is written and read by John Holten.
