GWC Podcast #153: Call Show!
In this mid-week bonus ‘cast we take a few of the many listener calls we’ve received over the past few weeks. Highlights: we discuss the agenda of BSG’s “head” characters, ponder Adama’s relationship (realistically and metaphorically) to the Galactica, enjoy the fact that listeners give Ron Moore crap about remembering BSG details too, address the many comments we’ve received and seen about “relativistic” travel (specifically considering acceleration, the fact that “relativistic” doesn’t necessarily mean 99.9% C, and the fact even fifty or a hundred years equals a lot of card games and aging), explore what JC might be like with a little nap (John Cavil, that is), defend the Mass Effect story as hard sci-fi, talk favorite sexy sci-fi novel covers, and envision a combined Transformers/Friday The 13th universe.

Welcome
GWC is a community of friendly people who enjoy and participate in geekdom as a whole. We are young and old, female and male, writers and readers, teachers and students, philosophers and skeptics, Browncoats and Trekkies, outside continents and beyond countries -- and we have one thing in common: passionate, shameless enthusiasm.
We’re interested in TV shows, movies, comics, novels, gaming, science, and music. We’re interested in each other. We like to chat about just about any topic. We’ll listen and give informed feedback, and at the end of the day we think of GWC as a clubhouse for a (very large) group of friends.

The time to accelerate to c at 1g is 354 days.
It’s about a year?
That weirds me out somehow.
