  • Came for severance but never left!

    Randomly stumbled upon the pod during Severance season 2 and really liked their coverage, but the Foundation coverage is incredible. Love that they have someone who knows the books!

  • All good EXCEPT Audio clipping a bit annoying

    I really like their discussion of the Foundation series – that’s what I’m particularly listening to here. But the audio clipping on I’m hearing on this show is distracting and frustrating. It’s throughout the entire show. I listen to lots of different podcast shows via the Apple app and do not hear it on of those.

  • First Time Listener

    Was looking for a show that covers Alien Earth and came across AE Season 1 Episode 1. Great job! Normally not a fan of episodes over an hour BUT you had me at the nerd-out analysis. Can’t wait to keep going with episode 2.
