All right, so now let's get to our show.

Wired.com presents The Geek's Guide to the Galaxy.

And here is your host, David Barr Kurtly.

Hello, and welcome to episode 434 of Geeks Guide to the Galaxy.

Today on the show we'll be discussing the classic foundation series by Isaac Asimov,

which consists of seven novels published between 1951 and 1993.

And this will include spoilers for the novels Foundation and Foundation and Empire,

so just be aware of that, and I'm joined by three guests.

So first up we've got Anthony Ha, making his 21st appearance on the show.

He covers media, advertising and pop culture for TechCrunch, where he also hosts the podcast

original content. A chat book of his short stories called Love Songs for Monsters was published

by Youth and Decline in 2014, and you should all go check out his TechCrunch article reading Isaac Asimov at 100.

So Anthony, welcome to the show.

Thanks for having me back.
