We kick off a discussion of vehicles in sci-fi by defining the term “vehicle” and delving into why they’re so important to us both on and off the screen. We talk “state of the podcast” and give you a glimpse of some of our future plans for the cast and site. And we run down the week in geek, including the pre-order availability of the Honorverse-extending book A Beautiful Friendship, ABC’s licensing of All My Children for continued production and online delivery (and what this might mean to the future of sci-fi), the awesomeness of a special edition of Dorkness Rising, and the final launch of America’s Space Shuttle program.
