About This Podcast
Kingdom Hearts is a series about love, friendship, good vs. evil, and light prevailing in the dark. Sounds simple? What about soul possession, human experimentation, and the end of times? The rumors are true, it’s deeper than you think.
We are Hannah and Mel, welcome to the podcast Shedding Starlight: A Guide to the Kingdom Hearts Mythos. If you’ve ever played the Kingdom Hearts games and wanted to dive deeper into the story, this podcast is for you! Shedding Starlight lays out all of the worldbuilding, hidden concepts, and character motivations that the games hid between the lines.
