  • Imaginative and fun

    My favorite Sci-Fi podcast. Fun, imaginative and devoid of all of the sex and filthy language that is ruining the genre elsewhere. I wish the episodes came more than monthly. Stories and narration are excellent.

The advanced probes confirmed life on Trappist 1e, although the planet currently supports limited flora and fauna.

It's approximately 100 years remaining to Trappist 1, and the crew employs quantum entangled communication systems for interaction.
