  • I’m caught up!!!!

    I love this podcast. When I first heard of it, I decided to go back to the very first episode to meet the crew. I then went to #2 and continued straight through listening to them all (only avoiding ‘Picard’ episodes for spoiler reasons), until listening to the most recent episode today. I’m glad to be caught up so I can join some of the online discussions in real-time, but I must admit that having only one episode to listen to every week will take some getting used to.

    Keep the tangents coming!... more

One girl won’t stop going on and on and about building habit for humanity when it has nothing to do with the podcast. They have even said the musical score from a legendary composer was just... more
