Some Time To Explain

Some Time To Explain is a raucous weekly podcast about the lore and ongoing story of the Destiny video game franchise. Join your co-hosts Kit and Mike as they discuss the Destiny universe’s past, present, and wildly speculate about its future. We’ll be bringing leftist criticism to Destiny, pulling loose threads, investigating topics we’re interested in, and answering listener emails! No data-mined spoilers!
Mike and Kit are continuing to explain important characters and storylines that new players have no context for because they’re (mostly) not in the game. This week: Mercury and Brother Vance! Our hosts follow the Destiny 2 Year 1 Expansion’s story threads through Seasons of Dawn and Arrivals! Then they attempt to answer the sphinx’s riddle: just what the hell is the Curse of Osiris, anyway?
Things discussed: Intro and follow ups (Super Bowl) 1:00-10:40, Mike’s stray Forsaken thoughts (10:40-21:45), Mercury (21:45-end)
Intro Music: Unfunky UFO by Parliament
Outro Music: Mercury’s Gold Age (Past) [High Action] by Michael Salvatori, Skye Lewin, Rotem Moav, Pieter Schlosser, Josh Mosser, and Michael Sechrist
