“Made of Stardust” is a podcast about people who (a)spire to (in)spire. Each one of our guests has a spirited spark to them that breathes life into the people they inspire.

We’re all made of stardust, so what is the stellar force that turns aspiration into inspiration? Burlesque Star and Vintage Showgirl Singer, Jolie Goodnight, interviews influential icons of their specific niches to dive deep into what it takes to inspire people, what are celestial catalysts for inspiration, and to cultivate a deeper understanding of what it really means to aspire and inspire.

Because originally “inspire” meant “to give breath to.”

“in·spire”

Middle English enspire, from Old French inspirer, from Latin inspirare ‘breathe or blow into’ from in- ‘into’ + spirare ‘breathe’. The word was originally used of a divine or supernatural being, in the sense impart a truth or idea to someone.

Now, more than ever, we can use some extra doses of that breath, that oxygen, that divinity that comes from the people who inspire us.
