#010: Here's something new... a film review, and of an unlikely gem of a movie, Space Truckers, from 1996 and starring Dennis Hopper. Directed by Stuart Gordon.

We don't know for sure what he will establish, but we know what the Air Force wants. It wants total, exclusive, and perpetual military superiority in space. We examine the benefits, the costs, and the political and scientific ramifications of space-based weapons.

#006 : On well-produced podcasts, too much nattering, the limitations of time, and most of all -- genre purists in science fiction and fantasy. Music clips from Art of Noise and Fatboy Slim.

#005: Podcasting and self-publishing have a lot in common, both good and bad. But one problem affecting both forms is the difficulty in finding good stuff. Could there be a common solution?
