#191: Cosmos, Techstuff, Interview with Jonathan Strickland, Chris Pollette, John Boswell
This week: We run down some awesome news items including the upcoming Tekken 6 release, The Plan’s leak (no spoilers, of course, as we won’t see it until the release next week), some awesome SG-U featurettes, Dollhouse’s fate, and Joss Whedon’s Glee gig. The guys from HowStuffWorks.com’s TechStuff podcast join us to offer their perspective on the Voyager program and the close connection between science fact and science fiction. John Boswell walks us through his two awesome auto-tuned science tunes. We dive into Encyclopedia Galactica and the Drake equation. And Chuck treks to Sean’s childhood home to find out if he really watched Cosmos as a kid — with surprising results.

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.
