## Discussion Status

First draft for Luke and Angel to discuss. Not complete, not locked, and not a Blue Dog script.

## Luke And Angel Discussion Prompts

- Should "Mineral Moonshots" be a full episode, a scene inside another episode, or a recurring segment?
- What should Luke / Red Dog make plainer before recording?
- What should stay blank for Angel / Blue Dog to direct?
- What source, guest, sponsor or privacy boundary needs checking before this goes public?

## Purpose

Give the Mineral Moonshots episode a repeatable piece that can stand alone as a clip while still feeding the larger yarn.

## Format

- Red Dog names the question in one sentence.
- One concrete example is pulled from the episode seed.
- The hosts test whether the idea is useful, funny, risky, or still too muddy.
- Blue Dog timing and voice remain blank for Angel to direct.
- Close with one practical question for the listener, guest or future scene pass.

## Red Dog Role

Red Dog can ask how a place remembers what was taken, what remains, and what kind of future story could make repair feel possible.

## Blue Dog Boundary

[Blue Dog space - Angel to direct]

## Guest Role

Only include guest animal, nickname or lived examples after the guest chooses and consents to them.

## Example Uses

- Rocks are old. Our economic imagination is often very young.
- Mineral sands can open a conversation about value, memory and repair.
- Science-fiction civic imagination can help if it stays useful.
- The public honour idea should be handled carefully and concretely.
- Can spin into: Moonshot or daydream?
- Can spin into: Strange but true, brother
