Hoo boy! That was one hell of a season finale, wasn't it? You may have noticed that none of us were exactly bright-eyed and bushy-tailed as we remonstrated about Foundation's Season 3, Episode 10, "The Darkness."

Spoiler Alert, as usual. Of course, ... more

In which we ruminate about Foundation, S3E09, "The Paths that Choose Us." Spoiler Alert, as if that wasn't obvious.

  • Great podcast to dive into all things Asimov.

    I missed listening to official podcast from Apple TV and while trying different podcasts I came across the Stars End. What a treat for sci-fi fans and all things Asimov.

  • Excellent Podcast

    I discovered this great podcast after Apple decided not to do one for Season 3 of Foundation. I soon found myself anticipating what the guys would think of each episode and checking obsessively for the next episode. Always an enjoyable listen.

  • Best podcast discussion on Foundation so far

    Just found this podcast a day ago…although I’ve been watching the Apple+ TV series from the beginning and have been listening to a few other podcast discussions on this over the years. This is the best I’ve heard! And if you don’t want spoilers, then you need to watch the episode they discuss, beforehand— that’s the way these things work.

  • Unlistenable

    Horrible sound quality- really unacceptable this day and age. Also major spoilers without any warning. They really ruined a big plot point for me.
