Science fiction gave us the stars. Romance gave us a reason to reach for them. Star-Crossed & Strange is a podcast about the stories that live at the intersection of both, where ancient magic meets neon skylines, where love is the most dangerous thing in the universe, and where the heart refuses to follow the rules of any world, real or imagined. Hosted by Afro-futurist author Lyra Xolani, each episode explores sci-fi romance through the lens of feeling first. Because the best speculative fiction was never really about the future. It was always about us.
