We currently have 956 5-star ratings, and it would be great to get that up to a thousand,

and so want to give a special thank you to Jeffrey Merichini, who just wrote us this 5-star

review.

David Barkerley leads great panels and interviews based on his own expertise as an accomplished

author.

He asks great questions, moderates panels well, and has a very deep pack catalog of material

for every interest in sci-fi.

The production quality of every show is excellent as well.

Clearly, David and his team take a lot of time on each show.

I'm grateful for all the contributions his guests and panelists have contributed.

I've learned a lot, not only about sci-fi, but computing history, writing, publishing,

and other areas.

Dive in, so much great content.

So big thanks again to Jeffrey Merichini for that great review.

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